Montana Baby USA

The Montana Baby USA is a solid-state electronic bingo machine from Splin S.A. of Liège, Belgium, built for export to the United States. Like other bingo-style games, it uses lit number patterns on a card rather than conventional pinball scoring; this particular model has one card and includes trap holes on the playfield. Its exact production year is undocumented.

The machine ran on 110v power to suit the U.S. market and could be ordered with several options, including a 23-inch TFT screen, a printer, and a payout hopper. Its cabinet styling is notably similar to upright video games of the 1980s, such as Tempest, giving it a distinctive look compared to traditional pinball cabinets of the era.

Interestingly, surviving images of the machine from the manufacturer's own website don't clearly confirm whether the full name "Montana Baby USA" actually appears on the game's marquee. Combined with its limited documentation, this makes the Montana Baby USA something of a curiosity for collectors interested in the more obscure corners of European bingo-pinball manufacturing.
