Star series

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