IPDB Two examples of High Flyer are pictured here, each having cabinet artwork that does not match the art shown in the manufacturer's flyer for this game but instead matches the cityscape art found three years earlier on Bally's 1974 'Wall Street'. One game (images 74736 through 74769) is stamped with serial number HF 2422 along with the date 3-6-78. The other game (images 42206 through 42208, unknown serial number) has a High Flyer playfield with text in Spanish. Soon following High Flyer, Bally released to production Bally's 1977 'Wall Street (Spain)' and Bally's 1977 'Wall Street Special (Spain)'. The only example we have seen of either game had the cityscape cabinet art like the 1974 version as well as the same Spanish text playfield found on one of the aforementioned High Flyer games. These Spanish export Wall Streets may have been a shorter run than expected, leaving Bally with extra cityscape cabinets available to be used on High Flyer. As well, the backglasses have identical layouts so it's possible that our one example with the Spanish playfield may be a bona fide export Wall Street where an operator had simply swapped out the backglass. Without its serial number, we don't know. The magazine Amusement Review Jan/Feb 1980 page 3 states, "Bally presented the prototype of the first electronic bingo, High Flyer, (previously an electro-mechanical model) at the recent ATE show in London and expects the first full production electronic bingo to be on the line in early summer." However, we have seen no evidence that High Flyer ever made it to production as Solid State. used
