About This Machine

Route 66 was produced in November 2003 by Willy Michiels of Belgium under the trade name WIMI Games. It is a single-player, solid-state electronic (SS) bingo machine built around a Car Culture/Travel theme evoking the famous American highway.

The game's standout technical feature is a thin film transistor (TFT) screen mounted in the center of the backglass, used for animated displays — an unusual application of that display technology on a machine of this type and era.

Beyond its bingo-machine classification, theme, and TFT-equipped backglass, detailed information about Route 66's specific playfield layout, rules, and artwork has not been documented. As a modern, low-production machine from a small Belgian manufacturer, it remains a niche curiosity for collectors interested in unusual electronic displays.
