Hi-Fi
Never let it be said Bally didn't try new things. Hi-Fi introduced and was the last machine to have the bump feature.The bump feature was just a big solenoid that tugged the playfield when you pushed a button. I guess it was a way to give the ball a good nudge off a post without tilting the game, but since the only control you really have over a bingo besides shooting the ball into the playfield is shaking the machine, the bump feature takes away half the entertainment (ok, you can share the machine anyway, but I'd rather not have to pay for the priviledge).
one-card games
The game has one main card, usually a 5x5 grid of numbers.Usually, at least three numbers next to each other on either a horizontal, vertical, or the main 5 number diagonals are required to win.
There were, however, a few variations that occured over the years. The dimensions of the card, 2-in-line winners, and winning on the other diagonal combinations were all features that were used.
Another common feature was corners scoring.
