3.0 Ball Handling

3.1 Handling and Calling Balls

When the blower motor is turned on, the balls momentarily mix and then 4 to 6
balls will be extracted from the mixing chamber into the ball tube. The design of
the new console automatically insures that this first group of balls and all the
following balls are random in nature without the need of any special pre-mixing of
the balls.
The black plastic ball tube covering allows the audience to see the group of 4 to 6 balls but not pre-read the ball
numbers.
The first ball extracted will come to rest at the end of the ball tube and directly over the embedded camera. The
standard balls supplied with the console are double numbered. The camera views the bottom side of the ball and
the operator views the top side of the ball. To adjust the ball for proper viewing on the ball monitors do the
following:
1. Look at the ball, not the monitor
2. Simply rotate the ball with your fingers until the ball number is in the upright and straight position and is
readable.
3. The ball will automatically appear in the correct orientation for the monitors.

Note that the E-max Bingo Console requires little training for the operator compared to other bingo systems.
Other systems require the operator to adjust the final position of the ball while viewing the monitor. The monitor
display is a mirrored image of the ball and it takes considerable operator training to be able to adjust the ball for
proper orientation. The E-max

3.2 Calling a Ball

1. To "call" the ball, remove the ball from the ball tube and insert the ball into its corresponding numbered
hole in the ball tray.
2. Momentarily depress the ball to activate the switch associated with that ball.
3. The new console will update the operator monitor, remote monitors, and flashboard accordingly.
NOTE: Depressing the ball and activating the switch again has no effect on the system for the remainder of that
game. When the system advances to the next game, the switch becomes active again.
NOTE: The E-max ball chamber uses a special antistatic mat and anti-static coated bingo balls. The anti-static
properties of the E-max Bingo Console are dependant on the use of these balls. It is recommended that only the
balls that are supplied with the E-max Bingo Console be used.
