Continental 2000
About This Machine
Continental 2000 survives today mainly in fragmentary form: what has been documented is a backglass with small digital display windows, entirely French text, and no visible manufacturer name. Its specialty is listed as a Bingo Machine — a coin-operated genre distinct from standard flipper pinball — featuring six cards for play. The backglass design closely resembles that of Willy Michiels' 'Continental', including matching display window placement and the depiction of two 1920s-era automobiles, a motif also found on WIMI backglasses.
Because so little of the machine has been documented, its manufacturer and precise era remain unconfirmed, and no specific technical details of its solid-state (SS) electronics have been recorded beyond the digital display windows.
Continental 2000 remains an intriguing mystery likely linked to the Willy Michiels/WIMI family of backglass designs, awaiting further documentation to establish its full history.
