Rip legend.
I used to played knights life from these guys when I started gambling. One of my favourite slots to low roll. Sadly never got a wildline.

I didn't know much about the guy but seams he built a massive empire and gave a lot back to the local economy

Out of respect, UK high street based Merkur arcades will give out king size twix bars (instead of the usual standard size) and £5 match play on entry.

Railroad - that brings back some memories of bonuses than can easily last 30 mins or so!
