About This Machine

The Super Continental, made by Belgian manufacturer Willy Michiels under the WIMI Games trade name, is a solid-state electronic bingo machine, a category distinct from mainstream flipper pinball. Its origins are not precisely dated, and no specific release year is confirmed in the record. Its backglass shares the same design layout and automobile imagery as Michiels' other bingo title, 'Six Balls', and the manufacturer's logo appears in the upper right corner of the backglass.

Super Continental's gameplay centers on 25 trap holes and six cards, mechanics typical of the bingo-machine format, where players work to complete card patterns rather than pursue traditional flipper-based objectives. While specific rules for scoring and payouts aren't documented here, these elements reflect the strategy-and-chance style of play characteristic of European bingo pinball of the era.

Details about Super Continental's exact history remain sparse, but as a WIMI Games bingo machine it represents part of the lesser-documented European branch of pinball history -- a reminder that plenty of regional manufacturers outside the major American and Italian companies also built and sold coin-operated amusement games.
