First proper go of a machine I remember was called Viva Espana I think and it was £15 jp, had a £5 jp casino crazy next to it. Always went in the arcades when I was a kid but don't remember much of what I was playing.

I didn't think they made a £15 cash jackpot version of Viva Espana. Would have been enjoyable to play. The £6 token version was good. Duty Free Luxury Goods could give up to about £20 if memory serves me right.

Glad someone else said this. It was on £6 token & £8 Token JP. Don't think I saw it any higher, maybe £10 all cash at a push.

I believe there was a £10 cash jackpot version in an arcade in Yarmouth once. Thats the very highest jackpot amount I ever seen. Surely they got scrapped by the time the £15 jackpot came along.

Yeah defo a £10 version.

Road Hog, Andy Cap and a few others all made it to £10 cash. As Dix winner takes all and clones.

Monte carlos and Miami vices went from £6 to £8 and also to £10.

Seaven heavens went the full monty £6 £8 £10 £15 £25 and even £35!!

You're referring to the "King-2-3" repeat!

Yeah, this was brilliant!

Got this really early from an ex-player from Hastings.
You could take the tokens first, then cash.

As soon as you got a repeat chance (with no credits), you simply waited for it to go into attract mode and show the king. Then stick your two credits in as it would go lower to the 2, then higher to the 3!

First time I done it, I put another credit in and went higher than the 3 . . . . To another 3!

Game over!

The second program could be done too after it dealt you either 3 or 4 jokers, giving you five-of-a-kind. You cancelled one card and after the jokers went back down to 1, you'd just wait for a few minutes before playing again and it would give four jokers!

But if you cancelled the joker, and it brought it back, it was game over.

I need a tardis!
