I have to vote for Bally Monte Carlo. It's a 4P (boo)... Single player EM's all day for me.

My bro just picked up a project Monte Carlo. Game must weight 600 lbs.

I've never seen this much hardware in a game, the cabinet and head are completely packed...

Williams had a couple of doozies... Grand Prix comes to mind. 4-player with an extra score reel for each player, so the backbox is even more stuffed than Monte Carlo's... and the bottom of the playfield is also crammed with relays and stepper units.

That long set-up bank with own motor on MC though... that's pretty wild.
 
Bally Wizard comes to mind. Hell, any Bally 4P is a beast. If you ever tried working on a Bingo machine, just don't!
 
@LyonsArcade - I remember watching one of your videos and you said 'this is the most complex EM' - made me want to get one and fix it at the time.. But I can't remember the name.. I know the score reels ticked you off :p

I actually got two (or was it three?) Bally bingo machines working for a customer in his home a few years back. Definitely not a job for the faint of heart! Crazy complicated machines, but they were built to handle heavy play and take as many nickels as the players wanted to dump in.
