Manufacture lead time is typically three months.

Can you design and print lottery tickets?2025-10-23T11:56:57+00:00

Yes, when you hire one of our lottery machines, we will need to know how many tickets you need so we can design and print them for your event. Typically, we supply them in pads to make it easier for you to either sell or hand them out. Typical lead time is three weeks from agreed artwork.

Yes, when you hire one of our lottery machines, we need to know how many tickets you need so we can design a combination draw for your event. We can also design and print your lottery tickets.

Can you create custom bingo tickets?2025-10-23T11:55:52+00:00

Yes, when you rent one of our bingo machines. We regularly create custom bingo tickets for hires:

For Mrs V’s Birthday, we created a four-game card of 1 to 75 bingo to mimic the old-style bingo shutterbaords from the Seaside Bingo Arcade she used to run. We also made a set of bingo balls to match the cards.

I Am The Queen Bee (IATQB) wanted a two-game card for their Big Festoon. IATQB wanted multiple winners per game, so we created several duplicate sets to ensure this would happen.

We also created a set of bingo tickets numbered 1 to 80 for an annual festival where four patrols compete for points. Each winner earns a point for their Patrol, and the winning number earns a point for its corresponding Patrol. For example, if 20 is the winning number, the Badgers get a point; if 57 is the final number, the Foxes get a point (Badgers – 1 to 20, Hawks – 21 to 40, Foxes – 41 to 60 and Squirrels – 61 to 80).

We also have a range of fun bingo games for numbers 1 to 36, including Bullseye Bingo.

Can you create a bespoke topper for the Monet Bingo Machine?2025-10-23T11:55:31+00:00

Yes, the topper can be fully branded to your specification. Typical lead time from agreed artwork is 8 weeks.

We are currently working on a template for your designers to use.

Can you print pictures or logos on balls?2025-10-23T11:55:17+00:00

We can source these as we have a supplier in the USA who can produce them. They are pricey, and the lead time is typically three months.

Can we brand the machines?2025-10-23T11:54:50+00:00

Yes, you can Vinyl wrap both the Monet Bingo Machine and the Guinevere II Lottery Machine.

Can you create custom Bingo Balls?2025-10-23T10:36:36+00:00

We have a small supply of 38mm vintage, new old stock table tennis balls and can create custom sets for the Monet Bingo Machine and the Blyton Multi-chamber Lottery Machine.

Available colours include Pink, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and White, as well as dual-colour Green & Red Balls.

We can also make sets for Guinevere II.

For Mrs V’s Birthday, we created a set of 1 to 75 bingo balls to match the old-style bingo shutterbaords from the Seaside Bingo Arcade she used to run. On the old shutterboards, 1 to 15 is red, 16 to 30 yellow, 31 to 45 blue, 46 to 60 white and 61 to 75 green. We created a set of balls with colours to match these.

Before 2000, 38mm diameter balls were the standard size for table tennis games. The International Table Tennis Federation mandated a change to 40mm balls in 2000 to make the sport more spectator-friendly by slowing down the game. Bingo machines made on or before 2000 use 38mm diameter balls. Even most modern machines use 38mm balls, as these were still common in the industry until a few years ago. Some modern bingo blowers will now take 40mm balls.

All our machines work on 38mm balls.

We are working on a conversion for the Monet Bingo Machine so we can use 40mm balls and create new 40mm sets.
