Hire or Buy Vintage Bingo and Lottery Balls

When you need something extra special, you can hire vintage sets of bingo balls with or without machines, and we can even create new bespoke sets for you.

We can also supply vintage bingo balls for film, television, photoshoots and events: 

  • The BBC’s Father Brown used one of our sets (Series 8 Episode 6 – Numbers of the Beast), 
  • Mike Myers’s new Netflix series The Pentervarate uses several sets for a sculpture. 
  • We created some bespoke balls for an EE TV Advert

We also supply blank vintage table tennis balls (new-old stock) to create custom sets. You can also buy blank balls from us.

All our bingo blowers and lottery machines use 38mm diameter Table Tennis Balls. We are converting The Monet to use both 38mm and 40mm balls. Most of our sets are 38mm balls, although we also have a few 40mm sets.

Note: Before 2000, 38mm diameter balls were the standard size for table tennis balls. This is why bingo machines manufactured before 2000 use 38mm diameter balls. Even most modern machines use 38mm balls, which were still common in the industry until a few years ago. Some modern bingo blowers will now take 40mm balls.
