The York show (White Rose Gameroom Show) will be here before we know it! Come to the show and hang out with us in Bingo Row  Beautiful new giveaways, a brand new bingo unboxing, extremely rare games on free play, and a lot of fun! The Multi-Bingo is complete!  I've finished all the various programming bits and this is the final programming episode of the podcast for the Multi-Bingo (I promise). Today's game is 1938's Genco "Gay Time".  It has a mechanism that kicks the ball into various pockets and increments your score.  The final pocket will kick down and back into play.  Very neat idea from the era of experimentation.

I recap the details from the York show!  I had a lot of fun talking to everyone and watching them play the Multi-Bingo over three days! Thank you for coming out and giving the games a shot in the Bingo Row! The Multi had over 8000 Red/Yellow button presses over the weekend.  That equates to roughly 400+ games.  I'm thrilled with that number. Thank you to everyone that brought games and shared with the public. Today's 'Year of Flipperless' game is Baker's "Twinkle".  Backglass animation, multiple ways to win, and a unique playfield mechanism make this game extremely fun and challenging to play. I was lucky to see it and play it at the York show! http://ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=2691

The Multi-Bingo will be available for you to play on September 29th and 30th, 2017!  Come play it, say hello, and compete on any of the bingo pinball machines in the 3rd annual Bingo Row.  Win a 4 or 5 in a row, come show me, and you'll receive this year's prize: beautifully illustrated key fobs by Ryan Claytor of Elephant Eater Comics. See if you can name all the bingo card styles represented!   Today's game is the beautiful Bally Skyscraper - one of the first games with illumination.  A skill score is added to your eventual total, to award a maximum of 45 replays! ... just remember the show title.   http://ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2205&picno=51161

I had some folks over to playtest the game - outsiders tend to play the game differently than I do, so it's valuable to see if anything new breaks. Out of many many games played and discussed, only one new bug appeared.  I have figured out how to mitigate it. I've also been working really hard to put the polish on the game.  It looks great, plays great, and I'm trying to make it as good as it can be before York. Speaking of York - come to the Bingo Row at the White Rose Gameroom Show Sept. 29th and 30th in York, PA!  Play the game and try for a 4 or 5 in a line to win a prize, made just for the show!   Today's Year of Flipperless game is 1947's Williams 'Amber' -    It's got a really interesting layout that looks very challenging.  I love gobble holes, love curtains, and love a good sequence game with a good payoff for skillful play.  Looks like the total package!

Happy 99th birthday to Wayne Neyens, fantastic pinball designer for Gottlieb!   Bingo Row 2017 prep is underway!  I am working to make the Multi-Bingo a great game to play.   Robo-Frenzy cabinet has been put together, and I am working out installing the mechanics now.   I recently worked on a Chicago Coin Baseball Champ, and I talk about some service notes and playability notes.  Great game!   Today's 'Year of Flipperless' game is 1934's Automatic 'Action'.   http://ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=17&picno=14

This year's York show wrap-up!  I discuss how the Bingo Row went, some feedback from players of the Multi, a short interview with my friend Ryan Claytor, and lots and lots of 'thank yous'. The thread on the Multi-Bingo that Ryan mentions is here: and Ryan and I each wrote some wrap-up posts on the 'row here:   Thank you to all the bingo folks (new and old), especially: Chad, Len, Ed Jeffrey Robert and Sal Jim Steve Butch and Mike Ryan Vic Dennis Phil H Phil B ...and all the players.  It was great getting to meet so many new players, and new Multi-Bingo fans.  It was absolutely fantastic!   Can't wait for next year!

Sing Along is one of my favorite Gottlieb wedgeheads - beautiful theme execution and great, challenging gameplay.   CORRECTION:  I said this was a Parker art package.  Couldn't have been more wrong.  It was Art Stenholm.  My apologies.   I also speak a bit about Duncan Brown's excellent upcoming seminar at Expo 2016: "From The Lost Playfield Drawings Of Harry Williams: A Pinball Machine 40 Years In The Making" He is making a brand new EM whitewood from the drawings of Harry Williams.  Wonderful!     Next week is the York show - come to Bingo Row and compete for a free t-shirt, illustrated by Ryan Claytor!

Getting ready for the York Show in just a few weeks!  I'm still working hard on the Multi-Bingo.  As of this recording, I have 24 games complete.  This year should be a lot of fun! York is always fantastic - I did many episodes last year detailing some of the great games I've seen there in previous years, but just know that York is more than bingos, it's more than solid state, it's more than EM - it's a great blend of all pinball and other games and decor. This year, the York show is on Sept. 30th and Oct. 1st.  Come out and meet me, play the multi, and learn how to play a bingo! If you are able to make a four or five in a line (subject to availability), I will give you a free Bingo Row t-shirt illustrated by Ryan Claytor!  I'm really excited about this design, and seeing folks wearing this shirt around the show. Last years' giveaway was very successful.  I'm looking forward to seeing friends old and new at York, and playing some new games. See you there! If you'd like to purchase a t-shirt (if you're not able to make it to York), check out the podcast website,  to buy your own today.

Jeffrey Lawton is the premier bingo technician - we initially chatted on air on episode 54 with Steve Smith. Jeffrey wrote the books Bally Bingo Pinball Machines and The Bingo Pinball War, both excellent books still in print today. We discuss the York show, his involvement, parts and a little technical chat, some of his recollections of working for two different amusement vendors, and some in-depth gameplay discussions on a couple of games. We also announce the contest for the Bingo Row at York: Make a 4 or 5 in a line on _any_ of the awesome bingos in the row, and you'll win your choice of an autographed Bally Bingo Pinball Machines or The Bingo Pinball War by Jeffrey Lawton! I've got a case of books to give away, so I want to see some smiling new bingo players! I am more than happy to explain these excellent games in depth to anyone that would like a tutorial. What more can you ask for? I'm excited to see everyone at the show!
