Episode 208 - 1963 Bally 3-in-line

Published: Oct. 5, 2015, midnight

In 1963, Ted Zale designed a fascinating game called '3-in-line', based off of the bingo gameplay, but in a flipper package. Ther eis a 9-digit bingo card in the playfield and backglass that lights as you hit various targets on the playfield. Some neat swinging gates allow entry to the left and right pops. I love that the flipper division made a game marketed to bingo players at the height of the bingo market.
