I was the King of Dixieland. Clemson SC had two at Tiger Town Tavern. Cashed out all the time. 1981. Got to use that pull bar and bump it too. I had no idea it was made in 79. Played plenty of the older nickel variety too.
It's nice to hear about story with playing bingo pinball machines. Thanks for sharing. Go to this link below for an amazing website about the history of Bingo Pinball Machines at bingo.cdyn.com/
@@viccamppinball I will do that. Yeah, they were all over S.C. 35 plus years ago. Doubt they still are, but maybe. Video poker too. You could cash out credits for "a refund." I wish the casinos would reintroduce them, it would be great. I read a story about them being big in Oregon back in the 50's. Something about the pinball wars. I grew up playing flipper pinball in New Jersey but never saw a bingo game until I went south. Fantastic machines.
Same here. I would love to try and find one that is operational. I played this exact version in the Nashville Tn area back in the mid and late 70's . Anybody that tells you these games aren't addicting just hasn't played one. We actually had a group of high schoolers that would meet every friday night and try our luck. After observing a service man working under the lock bar one day I noticed that a manual replay switch was located near the coin box cover. It didn't take long for me to get into our shop class and fashion a thin metal piece that I could slip in the gap between the door and the cabinet frame and ring up a full feature game when the counter guy went to the bathroom. He never could figure out how we very often would have these massive payouts right after he came back from the crapper. If he stayed too long we would just ring em up to 100 or so then all yell like we had a big win and demand payment. The game room owner got wise to something but never figures it out. The result was that because he was losing so much and the tech could figure it out that he just took it out and ended our 6 month run of free party money.
I never felt guilty at all about it as those games pocketed untold millions for shady operators for years and years. Had an uncle hooked on em and would lose tons of his families milk money every week.
Rick...you have a great story about your connection to the Bally six card Dixieland bingo and everything you said, is so very true. Where are you located? Maybe I can find you a working Dixieland? I really enjoyed hearing from you. Thanks for sharing.
Love my Dixieland. The only thing that is starting to irritate me is that it will take an extra credit whether it's on the register or not. I think the clutches need to be replaced.
Bally started manufacturing the moving numbers feature from 1954 to 1955. In 1955 to 1956 they manufacture the feature of the magic squares games where each four in the corner of the card on the back glass would spin clockwise changing the position of 4 numbers. In 1956 to 1958 Bally added another feature called moving lines .

Like i said, Dixieland is the best EM six card game. It's a treasure to own.
The one I played had movable numbers. Do you know what year that was?
