Star series
From Sega Retro
The Star series describes the second generation of slot machines manufactured by Service Games and later Sega as a successor to the company's previous Bell series through the 1960s. Unlike the Sega Bell which is re-branded Mills High-Top, the Star series are original works and are among the earliest to bear the Sega name. The first machine in the series was introduced as early as 1959.[1]
The series was followed by the Continental series in the mid 1960's. As they do not require electricity to operate, Star machines were popular enough to be manufactured up to the turn of the decade.[2]

Ruleset
The Star series comprises of several machines with slightly different rulesets, though all share a similar and (presumed) internal workings. The most basic machine in the range is the Diamond 3 Star, which is very similar to the Sega Bell save for one additional rule which can be seen throughout this series; the addition of "stars". Lining up three stars will cause the machine to pay out 200 coins, on top of any score obtained from other symbol combinations.
