Single Coin

Single Coin is a one-player, electro-mechanical bingo-style pinball machine manufactured by Bally, produced as a conversion of Bally's 1960 'Barrel O' Fun' (this example carries cabinet serial number B1195). As a bingo machine, it uses six cards rather than traditional single-player scoring, reflecting Bally's long-running line of bingo pinball machines aimed at operators of the era.

Gameplay on Single Coin follows the bingo pinball format: players attempt to line up numbers on their card(s) as balls are played, with the six-card configuration allowing multiple simultaneous combinations. As a conversion piece, it repurposes an existing Bally cabinet and mechanism under a new name and backglass, a common practice used to refresh existing machines for new locations.

Specific details about Single Coin's original release context, art, and any special variations are limited, but as a Bally bingo conversion it represents an interesting piece of the manufacturer's mid-century bingo pinball lineage, illustrating how existing games were adapted and rebadged during the bingo era of pinball production.
