Continental series

The Continental series describes the "third generation" of slot machines manufactured by Sega as a successor to the Star series . There are many machines in this group with slightly different rulesets, however what binds them is a largely standardised shell and internal workings. It is thought these models debuted in the mid-1960s (1966?).
The Continental series is largely the same as the Star series, comprising of cost reduced and easier to maintain versions of Sega's more successful slot machine games. Unlike their predecessors, Continental machines were not designed to be painted (and thus re-painted), and are more easily customisable by the use of changable panels.
The series was followed by the Windsor series.
