Montana

The Montana, produced by Splin S.A. of Liège, Belgium, is a solid-state electronic bingo machine, a genre of coin-operated games related to but distinct from conventional pinball, with an unconfirmed production date of around year 2000. As a modern bingo machine, it reflects the continued life of the bingo/pin-game format well into the electronic era.

The Montana's gameplay is built around an extensive field of 25 trap holes and six scoring cards, letting players pursue multiple simultaneous scoring combinations. The machine runs on 220v power and can be fitted with an optional payout hopper, tying its play directly to a reward mechanism.

Little is documented about the Montana's theme, designer, or exact release date. Its Belgian origins highlight the continued presence of European manufacturers producing bingo-style pin games long after solid-state technology became standard, and it remains a niche curiosity for collectors focused on the bingo/payout side of the pinball hobby.
