_ PLAYTIME JOKER _

…a 2005 image of “one” Bingo in an odd little family`

I am so glad we got to see this in a cabinet, it helps verify this is truly legit`

For a long time, I only had pictures of a framed backglass and I wasn’t too certain`

This looks like an “expansion” of the simpler Playtime “center spot” games`

Now, on the left is a Joker Number that the machine randomly Spots

It is one of the “center numbers” on the six cards`

On the right is the Joker Bonus itself, tied to the 4^th-and-6^th Balls,

which lets you try and result the Joker Number

_ Pretty Cool _

It looks like Joker is a 12-coin game`…where coins 1-6 lights the Cards

Coin 7 lights Red-Diagonal scoring on cards 1,2,3

Coin 8 lights Red-Diagonal scoring on cards 4,5,6

Coin 9 lights the Magic-Number feature

Coin 10 lights 3-in-Line, 4-in-Line, and 5-in-Line scoring on all cards

Coin 11 lights Playfield Bonus Score for the holes 23,24,25

Coin 12 lights the Joker feature

So, how do you get an Extra Ball`…a 6^th-Ball

If I am right, there is also a Cash-Out-Early option like we have seen on a few of the 6-card games!

It’s a bit hard to read, but I am betting that the date on the lower right is January 1990

~ Final proof that these are real Sirmo Bingos ~

~ If so, that also lines up with the Phil’s posts for the Golden Continental Joker ~

Well, so much for my thoughts that these might be 3^rd-Party

That little box just below the Joker on that manual says Sirmo Games

When I first saw this backglass above`…I wondered if the joker labeling might be stickers`

Now that I look closer`…I see the backglass just got roughed up a bit`

I’ll have to go back and update my Addndum`…Oooops - Sorry
