MAB
have been established for many years as the prize bingo supplier,
introducing many unique features and innovations. The BINGO feature,
individual payouts to the player and callers prompts all contribute
to make MABs bingo the only truly one-operator system.
The original ABC (advanced bingo controller) was developed in the
late 80s by MAB for its own use when the company had an involvement
in arcade operation as well as manufacturing. The result was a complete
success, other operators soon wanted the bingo too, and we were happy
to supply. The product continued to be developed and improved throughout
the 90s, earning a good reputation for reliability and profitability.
Bingos were even supplied to Brazil, Uganda, Poland, Denmark, Ireland
and others. Variations included a successful 36 position video/touch-screen
system for Oasis at Blackpool and a prize/main-stage system for Butlins.
As the technology in communications,
video, digital sound and displays improved the ABC needed to be brought
upto date, to reflect MABs commitment to providing the most reliable
equipment possible. From this came the ABC-f, a very reliable hardware
platform for the freshly integrated bingo software.
The ABC-f has the following hardware features:-
Efficient
switched-mode power supply.
Powerful
CPU with real-time clock and on-board backup for all settings.

The software features of the ABC-f can be broken down into those
which benefit the owner, caller and player:-
 |
With electronic
multi-mechs and individual player-payouts this bingo can truly
be operated by a single person. |
 |
Access
to all but the callers menu can be optionally protected by an
access code, each menu able to be given a different code. This
gives security to audit information and managers setups. |
 |
All transactions
by the caller are recorded on the audit sheet, including the
time and date. |
 |
The end-of-session
printout gives an analysis of the session including an hourly
breakdown of games played, cash in and winnings out. This can
be used to target promotions more effectively. |
 |
The rig
may be split into zones which can be audited separately, useful
for quickly highlighting any audit anomalies. |
 |
Everything
can be controlled from the mouse, which is quick and easy to
learn to use. In normal play the caller needs only to click
confirmation of prompts from the ABC-f. |
 |
All 'dangerous'
selections, such as changing game-plan require a second confirmation,
this reduces the chances of accidental selection. |
 |
Many automated
features like playing tunes when large wins occur, chaning bonus
type at the end of each game, card check finds best win available. |
 |
Wide selection
of game types and wins to keep experienced players entertained.
Bonus games, Lucky squares, Big-4, Golden ball etc. |
 |
The 'PAYOUT'
version of the prize bingo is available exclusively through
Coincheck Electronics to guarantee top quality craftsmanship,
