Favourite AWP's of all time?
1. Star prize, or something the jackpot symbols were 3 cheque books and pens, a cahs scale on the left which gave a good indication of how good the board was and the ? marks were a case of hi-loing on a dice reel, had a habit of spinning in the JP at random.
2. Arabian Nights (and clones). Once you got the JP it almost always streaked. The nudge spinner was a great JP earner.
3. PCB. need I say more?
4 Ooh a dracula: Another one which was great for streaking.
5. Road Hog
6. Monopoly R to R: Controversial choice but this machine has been very good to me (touch wood!)
7. Great Escape
8. Each way nudger (a very old 5p machine)
9. Some barcrest one which was a holiday based machine, you kept losing if your passport was expired but a great machine none the less
10. PP and clones: Now that a know the wild cheat these are great machines!

It was called Fun In The Sun, I do believe. You got onto the feature board by getting 3 aeroplanes in viewwokingjames wrote:9. Some barcrest one which was a holiday based machine, you kept losing if your passport was expired but a great machine none the less
This machine may at times offer a choice where the player has every chance of bankruptcy

Yeah your right but it was numbers to get on though the more numbers you got the better it was as you could get through customs automatically!Nixxy wrote:It was called Fun In The Sun, I do believe.

Re: Favourite AWP's of all time?
I should point out that there were two Barcrests like this: They both had the 'metal detector' early on the feature board (an easy skill stop between the red and green lights). I think the earlier version (very old now) may have had the numbers on the reels, it may even have had a different name.wokingjames wrote:Yeah your right but it was numbers to get on though the more numbers you got the better it was as you could get through customs automatically!Nixxy wrote:It was called Fun In The Sun, I do believe.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong

Very old indeed but probably on 5p a play in some arcade in Tenby!

The older one had a £5, possibly £8 Jackpot when I last played it - more than 10 years ago in a run-down chip shop.wokingjames wrote:Nixxy wrote:I should point out that there were two Barcrests like this: They both had the 'metal detector' early on the feature board (an easy skill stop between the red and green lights).
