In my archives I’ve kept a folder named “Pseudo Bingos” for years now, because quite a few people have emailed me photos of odd games or have sent me pointers to various amusement games with “bingo card themes” and one day I just started logging them in, regardless of what type of games they were – This folder has definitely grown up over the years. Here are some 80% of them:

 

 

 

Williams 4-Corners

 

Of course Russ knows about this pin and had photos to post on the IPDB – Timing-Wise this was just at the time Lyndon Durant was leaving Williams

 

 

Check out that artist and it says it was designed by the man himself and he released a couple more in this family:

 

 

 

 

Love that paint job on  the Williams Hong Kong!

 

Looks like we had 2, 9, 13, 14, and 15 basically spread out  all over that bingo card

 

You can tell that Mr. Molentin had never been to Honk Kong nor Kowloon, probably drove right past Chicago’s Chinatown too………

Keeney’s spun this theme into at least one really cool shuffle game

Arkansas Slot Machine’s -  Tic-Tac-Toe - Exhibit Machine

 

 

 

Nice original trade stimulator. Made by Exhibit Supply, original case, paint, paper and back door. Machine works by placing a quarter in the coin slide, pushing it in and the aluminum wheel will spin. Get four marbles in a row and the clerk would pay as per the odds indicated on the outside of the wheel. Sounds easy to win; it's not. You will only get four in a row maybe 10% of the time. There is a lock on the backdoor, but it is disconnected and someone had drilled a small wood screw hole on the back of each side which has a small wood screw that holds the back door in place. It could be repaired very easily, if you are inclined. The back door has an original decal from the Arkansas Slot Machine Company with a registration number and dated 1937.
