IPDB Bally's "Numerical List Of Machines" documentation inexplicably has two versions of its page 18. One version is an incomplete page and lists Model 1017 as a bingo named "Golden Gate 75" released to production on 4-19-74. The second, fully completed page 18 lists Model 1017 as Mystic Gate, also listed as released to production on 4-19-74. The schematic for Mystic Gate makes reference not to a 'Mystic Gate' switch but to a 'Golden Gate' switch. This appears to be the unique Rebound Unit found on that game. We don't know if the obvious name change occurred before production began for Model 1017 or if some units were actually produced as "Golden Gate 75" before the name was changed, and we retain this database listing for that second possibility. The name change may have occurred to eliminate confusion with operators between this bingo game and the 1962 bingo game Golden Gate Model 698, a game that perhaps was still known and in use by operators in 1974-75. If anyone can provide documentation for, advertisements for, or an actual example of a Bally bingo machine named "Golden Gate 75", please contact us. This is not the 1962 version. used
