Subject: General info needed on bingo games

Question - I have a Bally "Bali" bingo unit. While I have the circuit info, I'm not exactly sure what the game

is supposed to do, or how it is supposed to work. It doesn’t seem to work. Can anyone give me some info?

Answer - MAKE SURE YOUR MACHINE HAS THE CORRECT NUMBER OF BALLS INSTALLED USUALLY EIGHT BALLS FIVE FOR

NORMAL PLAY AND THREE FOR EXTRA BALL FIVE BALLS SHOULD BE LOCKED ON TOP OF YOUR PLAYFIELD WITH THREE

BALLS IN THE TROUGH CHECK ALL YOUR TROUGH SWITCHES. WHEN YOU CLOCK A CREDIT ALL THE BALLS SHOULD DROP

INTO LOWER BALL CATCHER AND MAKE THERE WAY TO THE TROUGH. ALL ODDS SHOULD GO BACK TO LOWEST ODDS AND A BALL

SHOULD BE LIFTED TO BALL PLUNGER. GAME IS READY TO BEGIN LET ME KNOW IF YOU GET THIS FAR REGARDS MARIK

~ Although Michael is referring to his 1974 Bali 3-Card game this general advice applies to most Bally bingos ~

…this old Bali is out of Canada ~

~ Be careful in there, this is live A.C. circuitry when plugged in! ~

~ You can email with technical questions! ~
