Bally Bingo!  These were primarily gambling machines and you were paid out on the credits you scored.  You had to dump a pocket full of nickels into it to increase your odds of winning.
I like to add and play 20-40 credits and play like a boss trying to win some more.  
 
Keys:
Add Credits.  In Authentic Mode, switchable in the script, each credit entered will advance features and scores.  Otherwise it will add credits to the reel.
 
You can use purchased credits or won credits by pressing either magna-save key.
 
The Magic Screen is scrolled with the flipper keys.
 
Game Play:
Shoot the balls and try to get 3 or more in a row or in the same colored section.
 
Red and Yellow Super-Sections:  When this feature is lit and the magic screen will allow you to scroll to the sections, 2 balls count as 3, 3 as 4, and 4 as 5.
 
Blue Section:  When these features are lit, 2 or 3 balls in the blue section will score as if you had 5 green in a row.
You will have to have the Magic Screen position feature lights on in order to scroll to the blue section.
 
When Magic Screen Positions are lit (A-B-C-D-E-F-G) you can scroll the screen (Flipper Buttons) only until the 3rd ball is played.  
 
Features can be lit to allow the screen to scroll  before the 4th and 5th Ball.  Star Rollovers can also activate these features if lit.  "Press Buttons Now" will light on backglass indicating this is your last chance to scroll the Magic Screen.
 
Extra Balls are awarded as Features. (actual table allows you to attempt to buy extra balls).  Up to 3 extra balls can be awarded but the odds are low.
 
As scores increase, the odds of obtaining features decrease. Enjoy!

Thanks for the beautiful table! I can't get enough of these bingos. I guess they remind me of my misspent youth. I did take the liberty of assigning materials to the apron text cards and the two cigarette holders to get the pink out.

I swear I must be color blind to pink, sorry about that!

Very interesting with the "Scroll Screen", i didnt check that at this Bingo Machines ... you also have other keycode Checks in Script, e.g. = 45 ...
Can you explain, what they do or should do ?

 

I think the most Guys have "only" Left/RightFlipper and Left/RightMagnaSave ...

That's all there is.  45 is left magnasave.  Is it usually mapped differently?

[STAT]

Could be different, you can also use: = LeftMagnaSave ' or RightMagnaSave ... and it is mapped to VP Options for everyone.

If possible, use the VPMkeynames ie : LeftFlipperKey, RightFlipperKey, LeftMagnaSave, RightMagnaSave, StartGameKey, AddCreditKey, AddCreditKey2, PlungerKey, LeftTiltKey, CenterTiltKey, RightTiltKey, MechanicalTilt when ever possible instead of the key numbers. Key numbers are hard coded to the default value and if the user has changed their mapping from default it will not work without editing the script. These names however correspond to what the user has set, so they will always work - IF used correctly.

[HSM]

Got it, Thanks!

wierd. Ball is super slow like the physics is in slow motion.. also can't launch ball.

I also have this issue. Anyone know what the fix is?

I am running version vpx 10.6

(I copied this from the download page to see if anyone will see it here. )

This table does not work for me. I can add credits but have no clue how to start the table. My start button and/or magnasave buttons don't do anything. A ball never shows up. any help please?

[wryker]

I have the same issue as bietekwiet - add credits, but that's it. Magnasave buttons do nothing. New game never starts.

Try pressing letter X, and you will see lights flash. Then press 1 key to start game.

Load the game hit 5 for credits, then push the letter X, then press 1 to start the game 
that worked for me not quite sure why it's programmed that way

Thank you for the response. I don't use my keyboard for any other table and I'm not going to start now (I use a cab) since I'll never remember this for this one table.
