Ticker Tape

The follow-on game to Stock Market, ticker tape added the Super Line feature back to the game.

One row on each of the six bingo cards could light on mystery intervals and wins on that line scored the next higher level - 3-in-line paid 4-in-line, 4-in-line paid 5-in-line.

six-card games

The game type has 6 5x5 bingo cards on the backglass.

Most games enable one card per coin/credit guaranteed, but a few enable the additional cards on mystery intervals.

Individual numbers light on all enabled cards at the same time, and wins on each card were scored separately, although only the highest winner on each card counted (i.e. if you had two 3-in-line winners on the same card, you got paid for only one. If you had a 3-in-line and a 4-in-line on the same card, you got paid the 4-in-line amount).

To encourage maximum coins to be played, the payouts generally increased for successive cards. The max payout for a game is usually only obtainable on card #6.
