Dixie
About This Machine
The Dixie pinball machine, manufactured by Playmatic of Barcelona, Spain in 1980, is a single-player solid-state electronic bingo machine featuring 7 cards. Bingo pinball machines like Dixie combine pinball-style ball play with a multi-line card-matching format, where the ball's landing positions light up numbers on the cards to complete winning patterns, rather than following the shot-based objectives of standard scoring pinball.
As a solid-state entry in a genre historically dominated by electromechanical designs, Dixie represents the transition of bingo-style pinball into the electronic era in the early 1980s.
Little information is available about the machine's original theme, designer, or artwork. Despite this lack of documented history, the Dixie remains an interesting example of Playmatic's bingo machine output from the early 1980s.
