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.

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 is a no-frills option designed with easier maintenance in mind.
