Universial 5 Star Bingo



Version: 2
Category: VP 9.x Recreations

Author(s): Patrick & tiltjlp

Description:
Since this is my favorite Bingo, I have updated it for VP9.

Universal was really United, which mostly made legal gaming devices. United didn't want to soil its name if 5 Star failed. But 5 Star was a huge hit, and changed the face of Bingos in many ways, leading to the 6 card display, which eventually lead to Magic Screens.

We have provided both an adjustable speed plunger and enhanced nudging, to give you a better chance of wiinning. There is no tilt, although there probably was on the real game. Keep in mind you only get 5 balls, and unless you nudge, it isn't that hard to lose one or more to the bottim drain, which in our version are returned to you.. The Star Hole is fairly hard to land in, but it can be done.

Press 5 to play all 5 cards. While 5 Star Bingo might not have been the 1st Bingo Machine, it was the first with 5 card display as far as we know, which makes it historically important.
