Bingo

The Specialty Manufacturing Company's Bingo, produced in February 1932, is an early example of pinball's mechanical era. As a Pure Mechanical (PM) machine, it operates entirely through physical mechanisms -- with no electronic components and no flippers, since the flipper would not be invented until 1947, more than a decade later.

Specific details about Bingo's playfield layout and gameplay features are not well documented, but like other machines of its era, its design would have emphasized simple, direct ball control and scoring through drilled holes or pockets rather than complex ramps or toys.

Little is known about Bingo's designer, art, or theme beyond its manufacture by Specialty Manufacturing Company in Chicago. Still, its age places it among the early wave of commercial pinball machines, making it a piece of interest for those studying the game's origins.
