Fruit Machine Chat

I remember the BB fruit machine on the link below - but not the second one further down the page..............Eggs On Legs?

Anybody remember this?

I too can remember the first one but not the second, strange??? the second one was a couple of years after according to the link but i've never seen it.

IN that case there were three BB machines then, as there was something else in a Smiley cab (~2000?), it's emulated but they're all eggs with legs and knobbly nuts to me. I remember the original as being pretty similar to Make a Million, apart from that, who knows?

Hahaha, I too remember the first one, only ever saw it one arcade though and its long gone but it was sited next to a Fruit Explosion........which they still have!!

The 1st one played brilliant whe they where in the pubs.
Let em spins on the JP
3 holds on the jp
Winseries available without moving
That's all before you even think about playing the board.
Plus there was always chance of a MattB spawn if you got your nobbly nuts out :P

Certainly never seen the 2nd one.

That first one was indeed a bit of an oddball, offering pots without needing to spin - but then there were other similar machines that could do the same (think Eastenders).

They don't seem to have a picture of the 3rd machine but I've seen it in a local cafe, think it was in something similar to an Eclipse cabinet with a predominantly yellow frame.

I never saw the 2nd one, the Eggs on Legs one, but it looks horribly like an X-Marks The Spot clone ...

I remember only the one big breakfeast was a good mc only played it in the redditch shipleys , but I thought it was easy to read, not and easy to force and good streaks.

Eggs On Legs Tour was a bit of a Del's Millions/Make a Million/Down Town sort of effort. I didn't see many about.

I can't remember the name of the one in the Smiley cab, nor much about it. Big circular board. Came out around the same time as Red Hot Ibiza, so probably same long-save-rare-massive-dump profile we all used to know and hate.

Anyone remember the lo-tech Big Breakfast machine? Standard BFM reel symbols of the time, get three of those purple circular breakfast symbols for a streak where the reels stepped down like Astra's Stampede. Interestingly you used to hold a breakfast symbol on reel 1 and the 2nd one would come in, then hold the pair for all three next spin. Had a streak once for over 60 quid all in tokens.

First came out on test on 20p 8-pound tokens in a weird flat-top casino cabinet accompanied by two or three other lo-tech games, one of which had a Cops 'n' Robbers theme and another a National Lottery theme. Sort of a failed foray into the lo-tech market by BFM as I saw few elsewhere and the ones local to me didn't hang about. The Cops 'n' Robbers one had some sort of weird interaction between the token/cash compensators which meant it was nigh-on impossible to win tokens when playing with cash, yet if you played it with tokens you were treated to those long searching Maygay-esque token jackpot spins quite often, plus plenty of cash on the side.


The first BB was the best. I remember the first one I ever played; it was brand-new out on the floor, all shiny and clean. Rather than play it with cash I dumped 56-quid's worth of tokens into it that I'd just taken out of a Roller Coaster and the miserable twat Manager almost barred me.

Sounds like a failed test machine?
