- Trap holes (15). "Figure 8" playfield layout. Each hole scores 100,000 times its number value and lights the corresponding number on the backglass. Replays are awarded for lighting on the backglass vertical columns of numbers and consecutive horizontal numbers.
Maximum displayed point score is 6,500,000 points.
- ipdb.notes
- This game used a bingo card and trap holes but was not a 'Bingo' or in-line machine in the traditional sense.
As this is a 5-ball game, the highest score that can be achieved would be by landing them in the five holes 11-12-13-14-15 for a total of 6,500,000 points even though the backglass is silkscreened to display 7 million. However, the factory did not wire a lamp socket to light the '7' in the Millions score.
'Watch My Line' is a reference to the TV quiz show "What's My Line" which ran on American TV from 1950 to 1967. The show featured a panel of four celebrities who would try to guess the occupation of contestants. The backglass depicts this celebrity panel.
