Appmon Gatchinko Bingo

Sorry for our appearance, but this article currently needs a lot of work.
Appmon Gatchinko Bingo (アプモンガチンコビンゴ, Apumon Gachinko Bingo) was a game-equipped Gashapon machine produced by Bandai as part of the Digimon Universe Appli Monsters toy line. It began operating in Japan on October 8, 2016, with machines being introduced sequentially at participating stores. Its operation ended in November 2017.
The machine used physical Appmon Chips in a bingo-style battle. Players summoned a team of three Appmon to confront an enemy Appmon infected by a virus. Completing a bingo allowed the player to receive a machine-exclusive Appmon Chip.
Gameplay[edit]
A team consisted of three Appmon registered from compatible Appmon Chips. During the battle, spaces on a bingo board were obtained while fighting the virus-infected enemy Appmon. The objective was to complete a line and trigger the machine's prize mechanism.
The probability of completing a bingo could be increased by selecting Appmon suited to the relevant Attribute and by using compatible App combinations to perform an AppGattai. Connecting an Appli Drive to the machine provided an additional advantage.
The machine was designed to be used with Appmon Chips distributed through the wider toy line, including the retail, Gashapon and Shokugan series. Bandai consequently promoted the GP releases as chips that could both be collected and used to challenge Appmon Gatchinko Bingo.
Release[edit]
Bandai opened the official Appmon Gatchinko Bingo website in July 2016 and initially announced the machine for release during autumn of that year. Operation began sequentially at participating Japanese stores from October 8, 2016.
The game was updated as new Appmon Chips and higher Grades were introduced. The release of Appmon Chip ver. 2.0 GP was accompanied by a renewed version of the machine that placed greater emphasis on AppGattai combinations. A later update promoted alongside Appmon Chip ver. 3.0 GP added support for Ultimate-grade Appmon.
Appmon Gatchinko Bingo was also exhibited at Jump Festa 2017. Visitors could play the game and obtain Bingo-version Appmon Chips before their regular distribution.
Prize chips[edit]
The prizes were a series of sixteen seven-star promotional Appmon Chips numbered VSP-001 through VSP-016. They are collectively listed as Appmon Chip Bingo ver. Each chip depicts its Appmon as a “BINGO ver.” variant.
