Carioca Beach

Carioca Beach, produced by the John Gille Company of Belgium, is a lesser-known bingo-style pinball machine that has drawn interest among collectors of European bingo pinballs. Its exact production year is not documented.

The machine is built around a bingo-machine format with an unusually high 25 holes for players to target, compared to typical contemporaries. A large, oversized score display is a notable design element, adding to the machine's visual appeal and helping track the complex scoring typical of bingo-style play.

The theme of World Places, referencing the beach at Carioca in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, sets Carioca Beach apart visually from other bingo pinball machines of its time. Little is known about the designer or other production details, but its distinctive display and hole count make it an interesting piece for those researching European bingo pinball history.
