WiltshireWizard Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Yes, you read that correctly! It may be a bit of a random post but I am genuinely interested if it's a real machine and if so, is it by any chance emulated on this site somewhere! Thank you!

slotsmagic Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Well it looks to me like an Aristocrat pull-handle machine, it's got 4 reels, and the top looks like it might read 'QUAD REEL' which I think is what Aristocrat called their 4 reel product line. Not sure what the actual machine is called though, and I'm going to assume it's before the days of microprocessor controlled machines. I very much doubt it would work in the emulator, although I never looked into the ins-and-outs of the Electromechanical side MFME - but even then you'd need schematics and stuff, and that's assuming it operates using relays e.t.c. and isn't basically just clockwork 1 Currently owned digitals : T7 Encore, T7 Original, Astra iPub and Storm Street Casino.

Chopaholic Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 If it's from Season 1 then that was broadcast in 1975, which is before microprocessor control. Season 2 was 1979 so there's a chance it could be microprocessor controlled, but it's unlikely. Actually, having had a look at the picture again that's from the first episode of Season 1 (A Touch Of Class) which is when Lord Melbury came to stay at the hotel, so it'll definitely be electromechanical. Therefore for it be emulated you'd need the schematics as slotsmagic notes above, so pretty much a 0% chance I'm afraid. (Electromechanical machines don't have ROMs.) 1 Fruit machine emulation content from the artist previously known as Degsy Degworth and the odd new thing here and there too - https://www.youtube.com/c/DegsyDegworth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddy Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 I think it was the early Barcrest machine 'Flowery Twats' 3 2 Not Retired from FME June 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiltshireWizard Posted March 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 Hahaha - brilliant replies, both the serious ones and the funny ones! Unless they are all serious... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyMonster Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Im sure in one episode The Major actually plays the damn thing....... at least in the background anyway..... Incidentally - for anyone who does appreciate the retro vibe - Southport Pier has a cafe/bar at the end. and one half of this is an "arcade" which is more of a museum. There is about 25-30 old old old machines - all in working condition, and you can buy old pennies to play them with. Its pretty cool actually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cja272 Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 The model village amusements Great Yarmouth has something similar, they are all on old penny’s which you buy something like 20 old penny’s for a pound to use on the machines 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
