Triple Deck Advancing Odds/Scores

Early bingos sometimes used the idea of coloured lines and had score booster features tied to the colours. Starting with Big Show, bally standardized the in-line scoring games to have red, yellow, and green lines. Triple deck odds made the payout for 3,4, or 5-in-line depend on the coloured line the win was in. For example, 3-in-line in red might pay 8, but three-in-line in green could pay 64. This really introduced a whole new level of gambling to the game. Do you take a guaranteed 3-in-line winner in red and get paid 8, or do you rearrange the numbers and go for a 3 in line in green that pays 64? The ability to move the numbers around via features like magic squares and magic lines added further strategy to the game play, and reduced the luck factor
