Bingo Space
About This Machine
Bingo Space, manufactured by Recel S.A. of Madrid, Spain in 1981, is a solid-state electronic (SS) bingo machine designed for single-player play. It offers a look at the bingo-style pinball machines that remained popular in parts of Europe well into the solid-state era, even as much of the pinball industry had moved on from the format.
Specific details about Bingo Space's playfield layout, scoring features, and artwork are not well documented in available records. As a specialty bingo machine, it would have followed the general conventions of the genre, in which players work to complete winning patterns rather than pursue the ramps and toys typical of standard pinball machines.
While much about this particular title remains unknown, Bingo Space stands as a representative example of Recel's solid-state output and the enduring niche of bingo-style machines in the Spanish coin-op market of the early 1980s.
