A great story from Graham TerMarsch - three donated Bally Big Times were used to teach kids at his son's school about reverse engineering and they ended up restoring one of the games - congratulations everyone! This week I also wanted to highlight a couple of interesting notes on the Pinside forum regarding bingos: One person has trouble with their left and right buttons in a Magic Screen game, with a simple, but easy to overlook fix: And second, another owner converts his beautiful Bally "Bikini" to have wooden rails - an interesting modification: The Rocky Mountain Pinball Showdown is this weekend, June 8-10 in Denver, CO.  Phil Bogema will be there this year and will be bringing two beautifully restored Bally bingos: Parade and Carnival Queen.  Phil does stunning work, and I look forward to hearing the show reports from players there.   Today is the penultimate "Year of Flipperless" game: 1932's Amusement Corporation of America's "Ski-Doo 23":   As always you can find me on Facebook at  Instagram  Twitter  Thank you for listening!

Phil makes a special 'in-person' appearance on the podcast! We went over the codebase for a Magic Screen game and I explained how and why each of the functions work the way that they do within the program. Phil provided me with a good clue as to why the machines seemed too 'tight' - my mixers were able to move between 1 and 23 positions with each spin.  In reality, they only move a small subset. Speaking of code, I've pushed up a very large amount of code, for the first 50 games to the public repository:

There's no shortcutting the implementation of these games in the Multi-Bingo. Duncan Brown's Expo seminar on the unproduced games of Harry Williams is an amazing story:  It's the biggest EM news in many years.  Well worth the read!   The Pacific Pinball Expo is happening on Nov 10-13 in Alameda, CA.  Attend and play some of the great woodrail and EM games (and some bingos, too!):    The featured game is 1947's Williams Torchy: http://ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=2596    

Malibu Beach was the last EM bingo that Bally produced, and the final Magic Screen game. This game has exactly the same feature set as Laguna Beach (produced twenty years earlier!). Rumor has it that Nevada asked for a rerun of Laguna Beach to put in the casinos in 1980, and Bally would not agree to reproduce the earlier title.  Instead, they agreed to make an entirely new title with the same features. Nevada changed their mind after Bally went to the trouble of producing the games... and as such, "somehow", the games got out into the world.  It seems to be a fairly common game for home collectors, as I've seen several.

Lido is one of the two Futurity games (Bikini is the other).  Often praised for their use as home games, these games will allow you to save up your OK game and play it at a later time. In this way, rather than relying on the green odds to advance to a particular point before really playing to light the OK feature, you can earn advances on the Futurity for even low green odds. Lido has a fantastic art package.  For those who have not seen Phil Bogema's restored Lido, I have before and after photos on my Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages.  Check those out - incredibly impressive! I cannot link those here, but these are great photos of the artwork.

Laguna Beach is next in our chronological tour of Bally's bingos!  It is a Magic Screen game with the OK feature, super sections, an extended time tree, blue section scores as green 5, and orange section scores as green. Beautiful artwork and very fun gameplay make this a great bingo.   Backglass: Cabinet: Playfield:     T-Shirts!     These will be available to pre-order only until 1/18/16.

Sea Island was Bally's second Magic Screen game - they added another section of the screen, and according to Phil's site, bingo.cdyn.com, they made it easier to achieve the feature. A full extended time tree (after 5th) gives the player the ability to score in each color. The extra section completely changes the gameplay with the small, difficult blue section.

Carnival Queen ushers in the era of the Magic Screen!  Magic Screen games are the most popular among many bingo players. Instead of a flat bingo card, there is instead a movable grid that makes up each column of the bingo card.  As you move the screen, each column will shift and reveal colored sections.  If you land three in the section (not necessarily adjacent!) you will win the indicated replays on the backglass. This game was also the first to feature the 'R' button to register your replays.  Prior games would automatically find winners and count them up.  Now, it is totally under the player's control. Backglass: Cabinet (this shows the screen revealed): Playfield:   T-shirts!     These will be available to pre-order only until 1/18/16. For listeners in the US - shipping $4.50: Sizes XS $18.00 USD S $18.00 USD M $18.00 USD L $18.00 USD XL $18.00 USD 2XL $19.80 USD 3XL $21.60 USD   For International Listeners - shipping $15: Sizes XS $18.00 USD S $18.00 USD M $18.00 USD L $18.00 USD XL $18.00 USD 2XL $19.80 USD 3XL $21.60 USD

Ballerina was an interesting experiment in bingo history. A Magic Screen game with positions up to 'H' (the last with this feature), the game gets really interesting when you have the ability to increase the Magic Screen feature awarded by hitting rollovers on the playfield, and the ability to reverse the top row of holes (ex: 1 becomes 7 and 7 becomes 1). Beautiful artwork (another curtain!), and interesting gameplay make this game very unique.

Bally's Yacht Club used a mechanism that was not used in any other bingo! The numbers on the backbox are arranged in a 9x5 grid.  By default, the second through the sixth column of numbers are surrounded by a yellow border.  This is the card you are playing for. If you earn the feature, you can move those yellow lines to surround a different set of 5x5 numbers!  This changes the makeup of each row as you move the surrounds. In my mind this is the precursor to the Magic Screen - just less expensive! It was likely confusing for new players, which may have been why it was never used again.

In 1962, the Magic Screen games were kings of bingo production.  During this time, Bally experimented with a new way to use the same mechanism - instead of sections that allow for different scoring, what if the player could control the makeup of the bingo card, one column at a time. Seemingly a natural evolution to the typical ways that a player can control the makeup of their cards, this method was never repeated by Bally. A single button game, another unusual feature of "The Twist" was that the player was notified what their next coin would do: advance one of the sets of odds or advance the 'magic cards' feature. Another game I'd love to play one day.

Magic Screen Units, when misaligned, exhibit certain symptoms which will help you diagnose (and correct) the problem.

A divergence into solid state.  While browsing Danny's site at danny.cdyn.com, I noticed he had some photos of the internals of the Magic Screen bingo manufactured by Sirmo in Belgium in 2005.   This is a solid state bingo with a very interesting boardset - using what appears to be PC hardware in a pinball machine, including multiple LED and an LCD monitor, manufactured almost a decade before Jersey Jack's Wizard of Oz - simply astounding!   I'm looking forward to spending a lot more time on a solid state bingo in the future, and part of the fun of any machine, for me, is knowing how they work. 

The bingo helpline lights up again tonight with a call about how to most effectively troubleshoot the scoring on a magic screen. I give my personal method for troubleshooting, and explain the (few) shortcuts I take. Troubleshooting a new game for me using this method takes only a few hours. Congratulations on getting your blue section working, btw75!

The Magic Screen games between Sea Island and Bounty have a design flaw that will sometimes cause a coil to remain locked on during payout. The timer unit steps up in certain circumstances during payout and will shut off the motors.  This causes a coil that is normally engaged during payout to remain on and fry.  Fixing this problem is thankfully pretty easy! I would recommend that everyone make this modification on their screen games to prevent heartbreak when you're not looking.

I discuss the later 25 hole games, magic squares and magic screens.  I describe in detail the typical magic screen gameplay flow.  Lastly, I talk about some of the things you want to inspect before plugging in and turning on your brand new bingo machine.
