JPM555

What a fantastic DX of a very addictive machine, great game play and sounds, never came across this one in my fruity days which is probably just as well because I couldn't stop playing it and spent about 5 hrs in front of my computer which back in the day would've meant I'd probably of lost my whole weeks wages on the same day I'd just drawn it out of the bank , top, top job to all concerned with bringing this one to the Island, thanks guys, 5 all the way for this one .

Superb WDX of a rare Barcrest machine, well, rare to me as I never came across this one in any Arcade or Bingo Hall, the Jackpot of £6.00 Tokens / £3.00 Cash brings back great memories of 1990 when one evening I went into my local Mecca Bingo Hall and to my surprise all the £4.80 Jackpot machines had been replaced with the new £6.00 Jackpot machines, back then it was a slow step in the right direction to get the Jackpots increased to a sensible and more worthwhile amount especially with machines in Arcades, Bingo Halls & Cafe's / Chip Shops etc but unbeknown to me back then it would still be another 7 years in 1997 that the £10.00 all cash Jackpot fruity finally arrived, keep up the fantastic work of bringing these wonderful machines from our past into our homes, 5 for this superb piece of work .

Well done on the quality of the layout but think there's a problem with the game play value, I downloaded the £250.00 Jackpot version but it plays at 5p per spin which is what the £75.00 Jackpot should be set on .

Bloody Hell !!!! Good job I never came across this machine in my local pub because it would've ended up face down on the floor, soon as your on the feature and the cash amount is on £3 or £4 all you get is Miscue after Miscue after Miscue and quite a few times after just 2 or 3 spins of the number reel , half an hour on this money grabber was enough for me, If this was as bad as that back when it was released JPM certainly had big fat profits in mind for the leasing or hire company's or if a pub or arcade actually owned one they were laughing all the way to the bank , by the way, despite my rant another great emulation , looks and sounds great, so much so anyone would have thought I really had just lost 40 quid .

Oh yes !!! what memories indeed, other than the old Bell-Fruit electro mechanical machines this one is where my true addiction kicked in, this appeared from nowhere in my local Cafe next to South Wimbledon tube station one lunch time around 1980 and this Cafe is where my additional £1 school lunch money would be spent either at midday or after school, It was a large Cafe so plenty of room for machines and the owners weren't stupid as they cottoned on that with our school close by and the passing trade throughout the day being it was right next to the station where one entrance led you straight out onto the station ticket office they was onto a nice little gold mine, as well as the fruity we had a table top 'Space Invaders' & 4 cabinet video games which were 'Moon Cresta' 'Defender' 'Galaxian' and not for getting the great 'Pacman', all on 10p per play so the £1 lunch money didn't go far and certainly wasn't wasted on food ,all the fruity's and games were changed every 6-8 months but even when I left school in 1981 me and my mates would meet up nearly everyday in there until me step dad made me go and get a full time job just to start paying house keep to me mum but at least now when I did get days off work when I got paid each month I had plenty of me own cash to spend which at the time was great but as we all know looking back now the only real winners here were the owners of all these establishments i.e Chip Shops, cafes', Arcades and so on but at least I have all these great memories of what I think were the best years for fruit machines in the decade that was the 1980's because at the time most of the machines gave you a real chance of winning once you learnt the reels and all the cheats and most importantly had the skill back then you could quite easily win £30-£40 which back then would have cleaned out the 10p tube, Ahhh so much love for the 80's and great job with the emulation .

First time I've come across this machine, loving the tunes , another masterpiece from Vectra666 .

Love It , to knock this up in 10 hrs you're an absolute genius, so glad I joined up with the Island and come January 1st when it's time to subscribe again I'll be sticking in an extra £10.00 on top of what I normally donate and it's worth every penny, big thanks to all you guys that bring me and all the other Islanders such fond memories of years gone by .

Great gameplay with great sounds, why can't this be real life !! , stuck £40.00 in on £2 per spin and within 10 mins had it up to £112.00 and 5 mins later had all red coffins lit for mega streak, needless to say Crash! Bang! Wallop! £400 JACKPOT so took out £512.00 , If only , Great fun while it lasted. Big thanks to all you guys past and present who have contributed towards this site and who in my mind are nothing short of creative geniuses and even though I made my contribution on 1/1/23 when I first joined, next week I will be adding further funds merely as a big thank you for bringing back so many great memories from the late 1970's, through the whole of the 1980's and the early 1990's (1980's were by far the best ) plus I have been giving the downloads a bit of a hammering since I joined but just can't help it......THANK YOU DESERTISLANDFRUITS .

Just spent several hours playing the Barcrest Rio Grande and boy did it bring back memories from the 1990's when playing this in my local Bingo hall, 100% perfect detail has gone into this machine as it's just like playing the real thing so many thanks to all concerned with bringing this machine to this site, best £20.00 I've ever spent contributing to The Island and defo will be adding the odd payment throughout the year as I'll be downloading and spending many more hours here and if the majority of the machines download as good as this I'll be more than happy .
