Hi-Fi
Never let it be said Bally didn't try new things. Hi-Fi introduced the bump feature, and it was so popular it was used on zero machines afterwards.The bump feature was just a couple big solenoids 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.
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.
