- Pictured in this listing is a payout version of this 1968 game, an after-factory modification performed on bingo games located in Nevada. The image is on a post card, and a strict reading of the text on this card does not actually identify the name of the company who performed the modification. We found an online copy of the Reno Evening Gazette dated Friday, June 11, 1971 where on page 26 a notice stated that a business license had been recently approved for Nevada Novelty, Inc. at 44 W. Liberty St. which is the address on the post card. Without a dated postal cancellation on the card to guide us, we cannot say if the card came from that company or from a previous tenant. The address no longer exists.
The Eastland Bill of 1962 brought severe consequences to Bally Manufacturing Company in terms of limiting the market for bingo machines (see Bally's 1963 'Bounty'), games which were deemed gambling devices even though they contained no cash payout mechanisms. In light of that congressional censure on gambling, we wondered of the connection between the manufacturing company and the company that distributed these modified cash payout bingos in Nevada, that they would share the name 'Bally'. According to the book King of the Slots, prior to 1975 Bally Manufacturing Company CEO Bill O'Donnell had a personal 30% stake in Bally Distributing Company. (For how long prior to 1975, we don't know. He was company president since 1963.) In 1975, the 69.5% controlling interest owned by William "Si" Redd and the trust of Ivy Lee Redd was transferred to Bally Manufacturing Company.
