Further to that, god knows what dodgy chips those barcrests are on, so you did very well not getting involved.

There's 3 in one place round here lol.

You puzzle the fuck out of me to be honest mate, one minute you know what Birkenhead has, and the next your talking about some spoons miles away! What is the score with you, did some army doctor clone you about 20 times so you could cover everywhere in the country in one foul swoop?

I live in Moreton bud. But cover a massive area. Have 10 or so routes with plenty of different slotting variety.

There was a good arcade in New Brighton bowling alley. The GGGs in there were phat as. Shame it closed after a few months there's not much going for the place now apart from a travelbodge and a £15 Ceasers Palace lol.

He is probably now helping to support the foundations of a new railway line lol.

The fve quid machines in New Brighton now have a sign on them saying any win over £2 must be witnessed by an attendant! I shit you not.

My local Shipley's (now Silvers) have those notices as well. Except that it's "wins over £3...". What amuses me is that those signs said £3 when I was first slotting 10 years ago and they still say £3 now.

Years ago in whitby they had stickers like that, for any wins above £2 i think, so the chavs (or whatever they were classed at then) delighted in doing exactly what the signs said, and getting an attendant every time they won .

Signs didn't last too long, understandably.

Few years back, Cambridge fair had all the good stuff. Ready To Rock dropping down the back - Golden Hold barcode jackpot 1st or 2nd board and runnarge. Got a good amount on the top, but when I collected, it only paid out about £30! Bloke came out and told me to piss off basically so we didn't get that money owed.

Went to the other side of the fair and found Italian Job 2 dropping down the back. Was a bit pissed off and decided to take every pound out hoping it would be more than the R2R. Turned out that it did hold 125. So got a bit of revenge.

Found another arcade on the way out with a Chuzzy Bar X. It worked and rolled in 4 pots I think it was. So a decent result in the end.

That's the lineup of slots where I am now. Load of 10p things like PCB, IJ3 and reds hehe

Where do you live, Pontins ?? I seem to be the only person who is not surrounded by fruits from the dark ages, unless these are all in ol' man boozers, I'd never frequent such establishment so i'm perhaps missing out on a plethora of classic money making machines.

im pretty sure ive seen those signs on a rainbow riches £500er 'any win over £5 must be witnessed by attendant'

If you take inflation into account, it would probably be equal to a hundred sheets now!

there was an emptier for ready to rock at one time no?

Mr Move It wrote:... while the third one was called Lucky Strike with a mining theme, but is essentially the same as darts...

Didya try it? (the feature I mean) - You never know what you might find chip-wise in a fairground ..

Mr Move It wrote:Next was the Vampire version of Bellfruit Monopoly, £5 - This is by Mazooma though, but the same in every respect. Can't remember what it was called though

It's called Return of the Count, the sequel to Count Yer Cash.

Mr Move It wrote:LOTR £25 - This is part 2 I think, one of the diamond-shaped grid games like Alien. This was turned off though.

Hmmm can't think why

I shall assume that given he must've been alive enough to start this thread, that he didn't

Two, in fact. One via the matrix light up, and after that was chipped out, via superhold sets, locmotions.
