Miss America '75
About This Machine
Miss America, designed by Don Hooker for Bally Manufacturing Corporation, is a remake of Bally's 1957 original 'Miss America,' with a Double-or-Nothing feature added. As part of Bally's electro-mechanical Bingo lineup, it showcases the company's continued investment in its Women-themed game.
Gameplay is characterized by 25 challenging trap holes and two rollover buttons that add an extra layer of strategy to the classic two-card Bingo format. The machine's signature feature allows players to press buttons to rearrange numbers on the backglass card before shooting the 4th or 5th ball, introducing an element of chance and strategy that distinguishes it from its 1957 predecessor.
The artwork and design draw on the classic Bally Bingo style, with a prominent backglass featuring a stylized lady befitting the Miss America theme. Unfortunately, limited information is available on this remake's specific production year, but for enthusiasts, it remains a fascinating variant in the long-running Miss America lineage.
