Star series

A Diamond 3 Star slot machine.

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 series was followed by the Continental series.

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.
