TRIVIA

The game itself doesn't seem to have a name but it came with differently named artwork, such as 'Winning Ways'.
This type of game was popular in Australian bingo centres until around the late 1990s, when they were slowly removed in favour of the growing gaming venues.

Numbers were from 1 to 3000. On the 1993 version it would display 0001 to 3000 on its simulated reels. Surprisingly, 3000 wasn't a winning number, as other games normally paid for such combinations like zeroes.

The only trailing numbers which don't have a possible win are a 2 and a zero.

UPDATES

An updated version was released in 1993 with doors which opened for each of the 4 numbers.
