For Amusement Only EM and Bingo Pinball Podcast

The first game to feature the separate Red Letter Game or OK game, County Fair has some of the most impressive artwork of any Bally Bingo. It has the blue section scores as green, and triple deck scoring. A gorgeous game, I hope it comes to York so that I can play it!

Episode 188 - Double-Up is coming to the Bingo Row!

A surprise for those who don't read the Pinside thread for the show - I managed to fix a pesky problem with Double-Up and it is ready for the show! It will be the only example of a 20 hole game there. I've discussed Double-Up's features and scoring on a previous episode, so I thought I'd go over the troubleshooting process on this episode. I got frustrated enough to reach out to Phil Hooper, and as soon as I sent the email, I found the problem and fixed it. The game is an awful lot friendlier with a working set of mixers!

Episode 190 - 1962 Bally Silver Sails

Bally's Silver Sails is the sister game to Golden Gate, and contains all the features of Golden Gate, but has a completely different art package. In this episode, I talk about those differences, then stumble on the one minor electrical difference in the backbox. Aside from this, artwork and playability are discussed. In Jeffrey Lawton's Bally Bingo Pinball Machines, pg. 107, you can read about how the Golden Game works and what is involved in winning this special mode.
