New Continental Golden

The New Continental Golden is a rare Bingo-style pinball machine manufactured by General Automatic Amusements (G.A.A.) of Belgium; its exact production year is unknown. The lower playfield depicts two society ladies, similar to the artwork on Bally's 1980 'Continental' — a game whose entire production run was shipped to Belgium — suggesting a possible design influence or homage.

One of the most distinctive features of this machine is its extensive use of trap holes — 25 in total — along with six cards, suggesting a level of complexity typical of Bingo machines from this era.

While much about the New Continental Golden's precise history remains unclear, its connection to the Bally Continental artwork and its rarity make it an intriguing discovery for pinball enthusiasts and historians tracing the relationships between American and European Bingo machine makers.
