Triple Seven
About This Machine
The Triple Seven, manufactured by Willy Michiels' WIMI Games of Belgium in July 2002, is a solid-state electronic (SS) bingo machine, a genre distinct from mainstream flipper pinball. As a bingo-style machine, it centers on a 25-hole playfield where the objective is to light winning hole combinations rather than shoot ramps or targets with flippers.
Belgian-made pinball and bingo machines are uncommon, and Triple Seven's 2002 date makes it a comparatively recent example of the format, produced well after most American bingo machines had faded from the market. This gives it a notable place as a modern entry in an otherwise largely historical genre.
Details about the machine's designer and specific gameplay rules are not documented, but its solid-state electronics reflect the more sophisticated control systems available by the early 2000s. As a rare glimpse into small-scale European pinball and bingo manufacturing, Triple Seven remains a curiosity for collectors interested in the format's later history.
