There's a night club on craigslist just North of Seattle for $100 OBO, cracked backglass. If it were closer I might have grabbed it. That's an 8 hour round trip for me...

Quoted from nick-the-greek:And after 5th ball, makes all the difference. Was this the first bingo to have it?
Yes it was.
In Oct of 1955 Bally introduced the first Magic Squares game called Broadway. This game had the before 5th ball feature.
Quoted from Vic_Camp:In Oct of 1955 Bally introduced the first Magic Squares game called Broadway.
My grandfather had once owned it but for some reason the backglass where the numbers showed through were painted over in green,I still have the glass and only the glass. 
Maybe he had a run in with the gambling police. 
Quoted from Frax:...jesus christ
is LORD! Don't use his name in vain. That would be commandment #2.
“You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
Just sayin'.
Quoted from way2wyrd:t looks like they killed the high payout features
Yes,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, plus a lot more!
Why the numbers ?
When do we see your Cypress Gardens in action ?
Quoted from Vic_Camp:Yes it was.
In Oct of 1955 Bally introduced the first Magic Squares game called Broadway. This game had the before 5th ball feature.
Yes, but with before 5th ball, you could not score any line until the magic squares were locked. If you had 2 possible winning lines, you could only score one.
After 5th ball allowed scoring after 4th ball was shot and the squares could still be moved until after 5th, meaning multiple lines could score. The squares could also be set for the best option before extra balls were tried for.
I think it made a massive difference to the games.

Looks like fine furniture. 
Quoted from nick-the-greek:What a waste. Those would be good for parts if nothing else. Where is it?
Not 100% sure; but the guy that has the picture is from Belgium.

I have a New Continental Golden 6 card Bingo Pinball Machine produced by G.A.A. in Belgium.
Last Thursday night i open up my collection to some seasoned bingo pinball players from Newark NJ that i use to play with back in the 1960's and 70's. One guy who was my partener playing bingos back then hit my New Continental Golden for 45,000 replays.
Yes...45,00 replays in one game. It sent a code stating on the display that read CALL TECH. I remember i programmed the NCG to send this message anytime a player hit the game for more then 25,00 replays.
You can really gamble on these electronic bingos and win or lose a lot of cash in a short time period.
Great machines if you can get them to work. For 75.00 i would be all over that game.

Just wanted to mention a Score I had yesterday for the 'Bingo Guys' here.......
5 in a Line @ 150 with only 4 balls. I don't think I will ever top that.
# 25 was spotted & #21 wasn't needed. I pulled the shooter and just stepped away from the machine!
* I also found out the Score reel stops at 699..........FWIW.

Score reels stop at anything between 699 and 899 on a lot of them. I thought my County Fair had a fault when it stopped at 899. Then I found Sun Valley does the same.I asked around and it seems it is normal.

From Belgium...Isn't that wierd?

Wow - that's quite a catch!
Anybody have any info or feedback on 1951 Bally Coney Island? One for sale (not working) on local CL. Thanks
This 3 card bingo pinball machine with 3 extra balls feature was the 2nd game ever produced by Bally in 1951. The 1st bingo game ever produced was Bright Lights a 6 card game(no extra balls).The game is much smaller in size than most 1960's and 70's bingos because there just weren't that many mechanical moving parts to pack in the backbox and is easy to move around too. Fast pace action game with just 3 cards,but oh having the luxury of buying in on 3 extra ball makes this game an outstanding player friendly bingo and almost always gives a player some replays every game.
Nice east coast summertime resort theme. Decent artwork for 1951 and attractive coloring throughout entire game with the roller coaster artwork on the cabinet.Come on it's named after the one of the most exciting amusement parks of the century called "Coney Island" you can't go wrong with this sweet playing bingo. The 3 cards on the back glass have all the same number combinations that all the standard 6 cards games have which makes this bingo a 6 card players dream game.
If you enjoy shooting for 5 in a line which is the main objective on any bingo machine then this is the game for you. A good bingo player or novice will have a chance at shooting 5 in a lines frequently because of the 3 extra ball feature which a player has to buy in for at the end of the first 5 balls.
This is a simple bingo to learn how to play and understand the rules. If you are in the market for a bingo and don't what a complicated game to play and want a bingo that is player friendly where a player can win replays most of the time then look no further.
Great looking and playing wood rail bingo pinball machine. I have one in my collection and is more fun to play then most of my bingo because of its simplicity.

Quoted from Dbaum88:Thanks guys. My parents are from Brooklyn so this is calling me...l
See you got the info you needed.^^ 
Bring a friend to help lift it though,hope a lot of steps arent involved as those Bingos are heavy compared to an Em pinball.

This looks like a clean game, priced very reasonably as well.
ebay.com link: 1954 BALLY VARIETY BINGO PINBALL MACHINE GREAT CONDITION
This guy apparently has a line on several new-in-box Bally Bingo games - Tahiti and Miss Universe - probably not something you run across very often these days!
Both beautiful games but also, IMHO, two of the worst playing Bally bingos. Especially Miss Universe. 18 hole, 3 ball game? Ugh! There's a reason these are still available NIB 40 years after they were built.
They say the necessary is the mother of all inventions.
I think to be able to take another’s money may just bet that!!
Just look at those inventions

The operator warehouse sale in Medford, OR supposedly has a huge stash of Bingos. They are going on the online auction block on July 7 with the auction ending around July 27/28 (can't remember what the flyer says).

Fortunately, they did not bring ANY bingos down for the July 26th Auction at Captains Auction Warehouse in Anahiem, CA. Some traditional "flipper" pinballs did show up along with a number of Flash Slots (Keeney type games).
