Golden Flipper
About This Machine
The Golden Flipper is a solid state electronic (SS) bingo machine manufactured by Splin S.A. of Liège, Belgium, made for export to Italy and equipped by the manufacturer with flippers. As a bingo machine, its core gameplay revolves around matching patterns across cards for payouts, with the added flippers giving players some direct ball control.
The Golden Flipper offers players a choice of five different games -- Golden Game, Random Game, Super One Ball, Lucky Ball, and One Ball -- each likely offering a different scoring or payout structure. This variety of selectable game modes, combined with its six-card layout, made it a more versatile machine than many single-mode bingo games of the era.
Details on Golden Flipper's exact production year and designer are not documented, but its use of solid-state electronics and multiple selectable game modes reflect the broader shift toward more flexible bingo-machine designs during the SS era.
