Replay Counter (bingo)
A mechanical unit inside the machine that keeps track of how
many credits the player has been awarded for various wins. In
early games, there is one of these units. If, for example, you
win 12 credits for a 3-in-line, the counter will step up as
the credits are added to the replay register. When the counter
reaches the 12-level, payout stops. If you then pot another
ball to give you a 4-in-line, the counter starts stepping up
from where it left off until you reach the 4-in-line level.
Later games have multiple replay counters, so they can pay wins
independently. For example, games with triple deck advancing
odds/scores have three replay counters, one each for the red/yellow/green
winners.
