Welcome to one of the ugliest sites on the web built by someone who did web stuff for a living. We are talking about bingo machines here, mostly Bally, but with a few digressions into United and other manufacturers. My main interest is the technical details and reference materials.
Rocket Bingo - One Of The UK's Best Bingo Sites!
- Eyes down and look in at Paddy Power Bingo, one of the most comprehensive online bingo sites for dabbers across the UK and Ireland. Come and join thousands of fellow players in our collection of games rooms, where you can enjoy your favourite 75, 80 and 90-ball games, alongside some popular titles from the likes of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and more.
- Old Stage Campground is located about 10 miles from the Atlantic Ocean. You can enjoy the beautiful beaches, take a cruise, or relax at the campground. Our campsites accommodate everything from the smallest tent to the largest RV. All sites include a campfire ring and picnic table. RV sites also include water, electric, sewer, and cable TV hookups.
In 2014, we were the new kids on the block. Innovative, exciting, daring—a bingo site for bingo lovers. Today, we’re essentially veterans, but the ideas that inspired us and the principles that carried us are just as integral today as they were all those years ago.
The UK bingo industry has come a long way over the last few years. Player numbers have grown exponentially and the demand for quality games and dedicated support has grown with them.
To stay on top of the game and meet the growing needs of our players, we’ve made numerous improvements to our site over the years.
The Rocket Bingo team is always looking for new games, new technology, and new ways to impress.

For instance, we recently entered into a partnership with Pragmatic Play, an iGaming powerhouse that launched its first mobile-first bingo software in 2020. This was also the year we welcomed Slingo, which combines elements of 75-Ball Bingo with classic video slots.
We’re not stopping there, either.
The “Rocket Bingo” name was created to inspire adventure and exploration, to blast you through the stratosphere and into the world of boundless possibilities that lies beyond.
To make sure we live up to that self-styled reputation, we’re constantly looking at new technologies, partnerships, and possibilities, and promise that a journey with Rocket Bingo will be one to remember!

Alternatively, stick with 8-Ball variants, including the hugely popular Bingo Millions.

Surprising Facts About Bingo
If you think bingo is a modern game, think again! It’s based on a simple lottery that may be over 2,000 years old, and the bingo you know and love today evolved from an Italian game that is nearly 500 years old!
And that’s not the only eye-raising fact about bingo. Try these top trivia titbits out for size the next time you’re at your local bingo hall:
- Players are Young: The stereotypical bingo player is a woman over the age of 70, but actual bingo players tend to be under the age of 40. In some countries, it’s nearly as popular with men as it is with women!
- It’s Fun up North: The further north you go, the more popular bingo becomes. In Scotland, for instance, this entertaining game is significantly more popular than it is in the south of England.
- An Education in Bingo: For over 200 years, the game of bingo has been used to educate children on simple mathematics and is still used for this purpose in some European countries.
- Conference Bingo: The age of the digital conference has given way to novelty forms of bingo, including “Conference Bingo”. In this unique variant, teams of co-workers hand out cards containing clichés like, “someone talks while on mute” and “someone’s pets enter the stream”.
- Housie and Beano: In the early 1900s, “Bingo” was known as “Beano” in the United States. It was played at fairs and carnivals, where players used beans to mark their cards. In Australia, they prefer the name “Housie”, which derives from the term “full house”.
- Biggest Bingo Win: In 2008, a Welsh grandmother smashed global bingo records when she claimed a prize of £1.1 million, the biggest ever bingo win at the time. However, in the same year, she was trumped by Soraya Lowell, a Scottish player who won close to £1.2 million and is said to have blown it all in a few short years.
- Growing Numbers: Bingo is growing year-on-year in the UK and this growth is driven by online bingo revenue. Right now, it’s said that over 3.5 million adults play the game on a regular basis.

Old Bingo Sites List
They have no flippers, 5+ balls, and are, umm, 'for amusementonly' (we posted a 'No Gambling Allowed' sign on the machine...that's how much we mean it!).
If you want to get the historical perspective, checkout the History link over there to the left. We've swiped articles byRuss Jensen and added some pictures. Also, Jeffrey Lawton(no, that's not me!) has published a book published by Schiffer cleverlytitled 'Bally's Bingo Pinball Machines', so it should be easyto find.
Information for each game (like schematics, manuals, flyers, score/instruction card scans/repros, mixer/reflex unit blueprints, etc.) is in the game listings and the paper summary.

A very good computer version of various machines is at http://bingo.joopriem.nl/. Plus, he's building in a method for using the software with a real playfield and cabinet so you can add a computer and display to create a multiple game machine.
What's new
Here's as good a place as any for those ancient-school little'what's new' images!
Danny Chandler bought Randy Walker's new-in-box Miss Universe and is continuing the documentation process. Reflex unit diagram posted - and can of worms opened as his machine doesn't match the schematic that came with the game. | 02/19/21 |
Dennis Dodel provided good SI card scans for United Mexico, Tahiti, Havana and Rio. Cards for Leader and ABC added on 2/28. Posted on pages in the game listings. | 02/17/21 |
Jack Shoup got hold of another Venice, so the mixer 5 question is resolved and the odd/even reflex unit diagram has been created and posted. Jack provided lots more internal pictures, including both sides of the odd/even circuit board. | 01/23/21 |
Mixer and reflex unit diagrams for Venice provided by Jack Shoup. Orient uses the same mixers. Actually, Jack cut the entiremixer assembly and reflex unit out of a parts head and mailed them to me. Worked great except mixer 5 has two 14-x wires attached, so I had to guess which was which. Anyone with a Venice or Orient can verify I got it wrong. Jack didn't have a cabinet, so no info on the odd/even reflex unit yet. | 11/15/20 |
Information for mixer 1 & 2 diagrams for Can-Can provided by Jack Shoup. Diagrams posted. | 11/8/20 |
The Pacific Pinball Museum's Bally Yacht Club chopped up. Unit diagrams and info posted. Still need to do shutter/ball lift timing diagrams. | 2/27/20 |
The Pacific Pinball Museum's Williams Long Beach overhaul completed. Unit diagrams and info posted. This game they will not sell. | 4/30/19 |
