Perfect bingo session on Key West

Bally Key West Bingo machine

Being more or less stuck at home for the moment, might as well play some bingo, and pour a few malty hoppy libations to the memory of the father of Bally bingos... Don Hooker

So it starts with a Nickel, then another one and another one...

It was a two hour credit tug o war between myself and the machine. Win some, lose some. Sometimes driven to the brink of zero when a lucky ball scores 8 credits, just enough to keep you going. Playing the odds and moving numbers. Calling numbers and shouting at the machine from time to time (when I failed to hit a 23 or a 25). But eventually I made it past the mythical 200 credit threshold all the way to 220! At that point I turned the machine off. Curious of how many credits I played, I opened up the coin door and was shocked to see only 8 Nickels in the coin box! From 8 to 220. In 1956, that would've been a steak dinner and then some. Perfect game night.

Here are a few highlights. Enjoy!
