Manhattan
About This Machine
The Manhattan, produced by SIRMO Games S.A. of Verviers, Belgium in November 1984, is a single-player solid-state electronic bingo machine. As a bingo machine, its gameplay would have centered on card-based scoring patterns rather than the mode- or ramp-based objectives typical of mainstream pinball of the era.
Little detailed information is available about Manhattan's specific rules, artwork, or designer. SIRMO Games was a relatively obscure Belgian manufacturer, and surviving documentation on its products, including Manhattan, is limited.
Despite the scarcity of information, Manhattan's status as a solid-state bingo machine from a lesser-known European manufacturer makes it a point of interest for collectors researching the bingo-machine category and Belgian pinball manufacturing in the 1980s.
