Parade
Bally continued to build on the Magic Square feature started on Broadway, and their next stab at making it more interesting was Parade.They changed the colored lines colors from red and yellow to red and green, but otherwise left the multipliers the and scores the same as Night Club.
The new feature was the Extra Lines which
was similar to the Magic Curtain
found on Miami Beach.
There was one row
of numbers above and below the normal 5x5 bingo card. These
extra lines were covered by a screen. When the feature enabled,
the screen slid away bringing the extra lines into play.
With both lines active, you wound up with a 7x5 card.
This is the only machine with the Extra Lines feature, so it probably did not prove popular.
Ball in the Ballyhole awards the first extra ball.

Some of the numbers on the bingo card are are mounted on wheels (behind the backglass), and pushing buttons on the foot rail allows you to rotate the wheels to rearrange the numbers into paying combinations.

The 4-number squares were initially used in the corners of the card, so people also called the feature "turning corners".
