96 saw the introduction of the £10 all cash jackpots. 94 was when I 1st started going in pubs and they where £6 tokens then didn't they go to £8 for a short period??

50p - All cash

£1/£2/£3/£4.80/£6/£8 cash/tokens

£10/£15/£25/£35/£70 all cash IIRC.

£8 weren't around for long.

We had a cat and mouse themed machine in the old mans boozer, must have been around 94/95, that was a £6 token machine, you could also take a watch/miniature carriage clock instead of the tokens if you wanted.

there was one of those ace ,lines games in a pub on 6 tokens or a 2 quid watch lol.luckily they did'nt catch on .................feck!.... hope there's no industry guys reading this who think it's time to ressurect this idea with more upmarket consumer electrics. now the jacky's are 70s you could have gear like mobies and mp4 players.

Or you would win a jackpot token from the machine to collect a prize. Remember winning a few miniature carriage clocks, pack of 3 VHS cassettes, cheapo watch etcetera.

if we had an empty though ,,,,,,??? ,,,,,,,,,,, might be a bit harder to walk out with 27 carriage clocks under your coat :P

in all seriousness , the re-introduction of prize machines , could revitalise the industry if they structured it right with decent £70 equivalent prizes . not crappy radio alarm clocks etc ,

maybe average joe would lose interest after the initial novelty period .

but the biggest reason why they wont never bring it back ?

TOOLERS.

That's an amusing image, but back in the day we had a tele themed machine in the wife's pub and this youngster walked in with at least ten didgital watches strapped all over his arms. He must have had a big magnet on him because before the alloted ten minutes maximum playing time alerted us to his wrongdoing, he'd got at least twenty digital watches out of our bandit and some were tied around his legs. Unfortunately he tied one around BOTH his legs and tripped up over a blazer badge and tie combination box toppling himself conveniently into the long arms of the law whom I had called earlier much to his disgust.

It was special gold that made your wrist go green.

I'll vouch for that, also a pal of mine gave a mini carriage clock to his mam one mothers day
