Classic/Vintage Fruit Machines

[Gavashy]

There is an arcade in Oswestry called Palm Amusements, has a few classics in but not like Mr P's

That place in oswestry got a lot of older slots? Yia

 

[Gavashy]

How did I completely miss this thread?

I really want to get down to Mr P's one day, it's a bit of a journey from the Isle of Man though, I've got a notion we can maybe make a family trip out of it, albeit one where I disappear off to the arcade for a couple of days

I see it has been mentioned earlier in this thread but the emulator MFME (Multiple Fruit Machine Emulator) evolved into its final form of V20.1* which is incredibly accomplished and emulates damn near everything from the entire history of fruit machines. Everything you need to get up and running is available for free from

I also have a channel dedicated to fruit machines, fruit machine emulation, and online slots, which is here:

* I say final form because Chris Wren, the author of the emulator, very sadly passed away last year, V20.1 was the last version of the emulator he released.

Watch your stuff on youtube, wouldnt of wanted you doing the skill stops for me bk in the day?

Sorry for the late reply.
I have never been there.
It has got some older slots but not as many as Mr P's.
James Hardy has some videos from there

[Jd666]

Well, got next weekend booked in at Weston Super Mare for Caesars Palace.
About 8 of us going so will be doing a live show on Youtube.
2 weeks later got the weekend booked for Bognor.
Maidstone Reelfruits will be opening back up end of May so need to get a weekend booked there.
New Mr P's opening up before that but no details of a location yet.
Palm Amusements rumoured to be opening an arcade in Castleford (West Yorkshire) but dont know when yet.
Rumour has it that maybe one or two more arcades with classic machines may be opening in the North.

 

[Jono777]

All sounds really good mate.

Keep us posted in here please.

Let me know when going to Reelfruits in Maidstone as that is about 3 miles from me and wouldn't mind having an excuse to go there again. Lovely selection of machines and brings back fond memories of holidays in Clacton/Seawick when I was a kid.

Crazy Reels from Youtube picked me up yesterday and took me to an arcade on the East Yorkshire coast on the caravan site near Skirlington market.
Its in between Hull and Bridlington, around the Hornsea, Skipsea area.
The owner has just recently got some more classics in says he is after getting some more in.
As its out of season its not full opening hours yet.
Also has Partytime, Bullion Bars and a couple of T7's etc

Video tour now on Youtube

Do you have a full address and is it open to non caravan visitors?

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Interesting watch thanks @Jd666

I'd love to visit one of these retro arcades one day but it'd be a long journey for me from the IOM, fortunately we have emulation so all the old classics can be played that way!

Also some of those were running on unfortunate jackpots. such as Money Talks on £8, Indiana Jones on £10 and suchlike.

 

[Jono777]

Does look really good though, kind of made me want to grab my coat and go right away sort of scenario.

One machine which back in the day I was ultra fortunate on (used to catch the streak all the time) was Viva Las Vegas, caught my eye in the video straight away, love to come across one of those locally or better still own one but been told they'd be in excess of 1K to get hold of, if even possible!

Been playing a lot on the emu of late but all of a sudden games stopped working, guys over at DIF tried to help me but think I'm too clueless even with their support.

Whilst we're here, although I appreciate chances are mega rare, does anyone think there may still be the odd DOND power 5 still out in the wild, somewhere, some place?

Address is in the description on the video, and we just drove on to the site with no problem

Video of play up on Wednesday night.
I am down Bognor for 3 days at the weekend so hopefully will be doing a live on Reelistic Slots channel.
Might have a odd appearance in Jackpot Joners video which is going up tonight, not sure.

Going to Maidstone on opening weekend, Dave the owner says going to have loads of token machines in

I think Money Talks has wrong decals and its on a tenner.
Only ever seen Indy on a tenner except for a 5p £6 Jackpot years ago

 

[TheAddict]

Money Talks set to £8 tokens jkpt @ 20p play was just an unbelievably amazing game.

Wasnt too bad on 10p £8 Jackpot in my local years ago, played a nice game and still did the jackpot roll ins.

Do you you frequent Mr P's.
Asking because i notice your location

Nah I don't frequent Mr. P's. I no longer live down South. Went a few times in the past though. I Just used to love this game so much my heart aches when I see the pic and I feel compelled to say something.
My old arcade, going back over 20 years (The rotunda at Folkestone), at one time had about 10 of these. I'd be getting that jackpot tune on such a regular basis that even 20 years later, if me and my best gambling buddy are out he randomly plays the tune on his phone if we are sitting in a pub, train, bus or whatever just to make me laugh

Fobbing off the hold that's just been offered for 2 feature entry symbols, while on that prime number of 11, and instead opting for the 'double way' diagonal mystery symbols on the first 2 reels, in doing so giving 2 ways to get a diagonal line for mystery features (that when obtained diagonally you could chose skillcash from, so jackpot obviously) and have the reels pause (meaning it was coming in) but with 2 cherries also on the winline of those particular reels that you're holding, knowing its coming but not yet knowing if it's delivering the symbol for the diaginal line that also happens to put a cherry on the winline, therefore also making 3 cherries a d forcing a £1 cherry win on you instead.
Such suspense!

I will admit.... I missed the skillstop on it yesterday one before the Jackpot and just got the fiver. Out of practise lol but it didnt slow down using the cancel button, I dont remember if it used to slow down with the cancel button or not

 

[Jono777]

I think with later JPM ROM's the cancel slow downs got changed.

Older ROM's they'd work every time, newer ROM's only if the machine was ready to really pay, if not, cancel stopped working till it had taken more cash in.

First came across this with Untouchable (Indy Clone)

 

[philderby]

The first time I saw a fruit machine it would have been around 1993. I was with my friend Chris (both 8 years old) and he asked his mum for 50p when we were out shopping and we went to the local chippy and hi put 50p in a Action Bank and won a quid! Never forget that day

 

[Jd666]

Bit of a bash going on at Onetech casino lounge today in Eston nr Middlesbrough.
Mixture of new and older machines.

Maidstone still on course to open 28th May.

Skirlington arcade is just getting better and better with machines getting added regular.
Next ones due in are Rich And Famous, Road Hog, Viva Espania, Another Rollercoaster but on £10.
And wait for it....................................

An original MPU3 Line Up will be coming soon

 

[Jono777]

Really want to get to one of these arcades one day JD.

With dosh so tight and them being miles away, sadly ain't gonna happen any time soon. Defo on my "To Do" list tho

Been watching a lot of James Hardy on YT and that makes me wanna go even more, really want to get on the low tech Project's and Barcrest £15/£25's

Have a truck load of questions about Mr P's too after watching all those vids, also a list of machines I used to play that I not seen in any videos but wonder whether any of these retro arcades has them?

 

[shadow123]

Strange how the old games are so good when you play them again after so many years,they put so much more effort
into the development, in my opinion Maygay were the best, shame they went under when they were still turning out good
stuff. Just been playing a Realistic game called Big Wheel on Mecca, hard to believe that after 25 years of online games
anything as dire as that can be released.

 

[Jd666]

New classic arcade opening in Blackpool on Friday.
Its on Central Drive, few minutes walk from Coral Island

 

[Yorkstar]

Yeh its good to see classic arcades popping up quite a bit, brilliant for nostalgia, and gameplay.
Nice to meet ya in onetechs JD Saturday, was a nice play, ya get any decent wins.

Lucky only 20 minutes drive to have classics so close, skirlington looks a great arcade, for rich and famous alone, absolute favourite that series of machine back in the day, know mr p Dave as one,but apart from this one very very rare and lovely find.

Be great to see maidstone back open was a magic place full of classic belters 140 i think to be precise, so yeh all good, must try and get a visit in.

 

[RichyJ75]

Once they open, I will pop back in and get some pics done. I did see them open one evening about 4 weeks back, looked like they were moving machines about. Lovely place to go and brought back so many fond memories of when I was a lad down arcades with my grandparents back in the 1980's.

28th May, date to remember, going to be packed and yours truly will be there haha

 

[Jono777]

Getting really into my vintages of late, watching so many YT vids, one day I'll get to one of these retro arcades

Trouble is it keeps making questions galore pop in to my head

Latest one is, does anyone recall the name of a Maygay machine, appeared roughly early 90's

It was like a follow up slot to screen play but with a lot more feature and interaction based stuff, had a monitor built in to cab and came as best I recall in their "Visions" cabinet, had a really good streak on it but boy could it munch if you caught it wrong, think it was on £3/£6 tokens.

No sorry, I only ever saw screenplay

 

[Jono777]

There was another Maygay too, same style as spot light and search light.

Reels has like a wad of notes symbol on them and for the £2.40 repeater you got a respin, if one of these notes appeard anywhere in the window, it repeated and could go on like...forever lol.

Again, another one that's bugging me which I can't remember the name of the machine.

More I think about this, we made more off the £4.80's and £6 machines than we did off any of the all cash machines

*Subject to 25 year old memories

 

[Yorkstar]

There was also neon lights and omega in the newer big cabinet, trying to think of the screenplay type sure Dave mr p possibly had one must of been very rare failed test, Can’t remember the wads of notes one either.

All good nostalgia either way ??

[RichyJ75]

While I think of it, Reel Fruits in Maidstone are currently looking for staff. If anyone local would like to work with these old machines, I can pop down and get contact details if needed?

 

[ads2003uk]

I used to play one called Twist in the Tale in my local arcade.
You had to not be distracted as every so often something would flash letting you know what you should hold. Could be a hold button, symbol on reel or even.a symbol on the pay board. Press it and away you go.

Worst thing was the JP of £6 was in tokens.
but there were only three machines that accepted tokens.
Crystal Maze that was JP of £10 in tokens so I'd jump on that to increase the tokens to then put them all in Indiana Jones and Temple of Doom.
always took the Pit feature, for the slowing down the rope swing upto £4 and the deliberately losing to avoid another token payout.

I can just hear the "snakes I hate snakes" and "fortune and glory" ?
