Outer Space (Remote)
About This Machine
Outer Space (Remote) is a solid-state electronic Bingo Machine (Model 1218-1E) from Bally Manufacturing Corporation, documented with a release-to-production date of June 27, 1980, as a 6-card electronic bingo. No wiring part number is on file, and the model does not appear on game lists found in Bally parts catalogs, so it's unconfirmed whether it was ever actually produced. It is a companion release to the same-dated 'Outer Space' (Model 1218-E).
As a bingo-style machine, gameplay would have revolved around balls dropping into playfield holes to light numbers across six cards rather than traditional flipper-based scoring, continuing Bally's long-running line of gambling-oriented amusements into the solid-state era.
Beyond its release date and card count, little further information survives about this particular machine's design or theme, making it one of the more obscure entries in Bally's catalog.
