Occasionally, when the bingo is hit and the game resets it will throw out a maxi or major. So there will only be two squares showing as filled in.

I've picked up a lot of majors just by checking every bet level no matter if only two squares are filled in.

But there is another feature to the game. Every so often the screen will rotate thru the bet levels 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, showing what's on the cards. On some banks it happens every minute. So you get a look without having to go thru the motions of putting money in the machine.

Another thing that is great about this feature is if someone is playing one or two of the machines on the bank you don't have to stick money in the machines beside them then punch up the bet levels. You just wait for the screen to start cycling thru the bet levels to get a look.
Some places do have these bingo games set to where you do have to insert cash in and manually check each board. It's rare though.

But yeah, the ones where you do need to do this, usually a 1 cent TITO will do the job. Buffalo Link is a prime example.
