It has not been decided whether these should have separate pages. See Talk:Star series.
A Diamond 3 Star.

The Star series (for lack of a better term) describes the "second generation" of slot machines manufactured by Service Games and later Sega as a successor to the Sega Bell in around 1960. There are many machines in this group with slightly different rulesets, however what binds them is an almost standardised shell and internal workings (which in turn are not too dissimilar from the Sega Bell internals and may be interchangable).

The Star designs were created by Sega as opposed to the Sega Bell which is re-branded Mills High-Top. They are among the earliest, original works to bear the Sega name (though are thought to have debuted after the Sega 1000).

The series was followed by the Continental series.

Starlet

Strictly speaking the Starlet and the Monaco Starlet were not intended to be cutting-edge models when released, but were instead offered as an alternative to the Continental range for operators who preferred the cheaper, mechanical slot machines of yesteryear. The Starlet in particular is stripped of anything "electrical" (e.g. lights) and was designed with easier maintenance in mind.

Monaco Starlet

Olympia Star

The Olympia Star was built to capitalise on the 1964 Summer Olympics (though was not officially endorsed by the International Olympic Committee. While Sega built the unit, sales and marketing were handled by Taito.

This particular model was controversial, sold only in the US-occupied Japanese islands of Okinawa and built to use tokens rather than real money to circumvent issues surrounding gambling. A company, Olympia Co., Ltd, was spun-off to produce these units, which inevitably became an entirely separate entity from Sega and Taito, producing further "Olympia" slot machines before fading away at some point.
