What Is The Machine?
The machine is a unique 40-ball bingo game that can only be found at a tombola. The steampunk theme offers something completely different to other traditional rooms including some animated graphics and there are two prizes up for grabs every time you play. On top of that, there is the Pressure Prize feature, which could see you shortcut your way to victory!
How To Play
Instead of normal bingo cards, your 20 numbers are placed around two cogs. The silver cog has 8 numbers and the gold cog has 12 numbers. During the game, numbers will be called and any numbers on your cogs that match will be marked off which is indicated by them being pressed into the cog.
Prizes are awarded for marking the cogs off of either cog, with the gold cog that has more numbers offering a bigger prize.
The cogs turn after each call and different numbers will appear under the blue glass. If you mark off 6 numbers that appear under the blue glass that sits above the cogs, the game will end and you will win the remaining prizes!
The pressure gauge graphic at the bottom left indicated how close you are to win the pressure prize. If you mark a number that is under the blue glass, the red needle will display your progress. If the warning light starts flashing red, it means another player is only one number away from scooping the pressure prize.
In terms of tickets, this is a multi-stake game. There are four options to choose from, 10p, 25p, 50p and £1. The exact prize amount is dependent on the number of players and stakes, however, as a rough idea when we reviewed the game the 10p ticket had a gold prize of £2.44 and the £1 ticket had a prize of £24.34.
