- Flipcommons AI Descriptions (MachineModel)*Black Jack* is a 1976 [[technology-generation:solid-state]] machine from [[manufacturer:bem]] of [[location:italy/mi/milan]], named for the [[theme:cards]] game blackjack and sold in the firm's compact "testa piccola" (small-head) cabinet.[1] Its electronics were rudimentary even for early solid-state pinball: in place of a microprocessor it ran on banks of small circuit boards sealed in yellow plastic boxes, reproducing the old relay logic with digital ICs — the same scheme documented on BEM's contemporaneous *[[model:suns-cruise-2]]*.[2]

Federico states this is an electronic machine but not CPU-controlled. It is based on a number of modules, that is, little circuit boards enclosed in yellow plastic boxes, that reproduce with digital ICs the electro-mechanical circuits.
