About This Machine

Miss America is a solid-state electronic Bingo Machine (Model 1223-E, also listed simply as 1223 in Bally documentation) from Bally Manufacturing Corporation, with a release-to-production date of October 15, 1980. 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.

As a bingo-style machine, gameplay would have centered on balls dropping into playfield holes to light numbers on a set of cards, a gambling-oriented format Bally continued producing alongside its traditional flipper pinball line well into the solid-state era.

Beyond its release date, no further documentation survives about the machine's specific design, artwork, or theme, leaving Miss America one of many undocumented entries in Bally's bingo catalog.
