- Same as Bally's 1962 'Golden Gate' but with new backglass.
This game was pictured along with other games in Cash Box Aug-10-1963 page 14 and all were identified there as having been produced between July 1962 and June 1963.
In the Nov-10-1962 Cash Box article shown here, Bally advertised Silver Sails as their last bingo game prior to the effective date of the Eastland Bill (S-1658) which outlawed the interstate transportation of gambling devices. Bally made a second production run of an earlier game, and they showed an internal company date for it as a month later than Silver Sails. See Bally's 1962 'Shoot-A-Line '63'.
For more information on the Eastland Bill, see Bally's 1963 'Bounty' which was their first game made after an amendment to S-1658 was passed.
