Ze Frog Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 This machine really intrigued me. I am a big fan of the fruit machine for machines like this alone which capture various things popular in culture at the time. I don't collect circus memorabilia, but if I did this would be way up there. Fruit machines like this are now a thing of the past, shame really. There's so many fruit machines I'd love to own for that reason. They could play like crap, didn't really matter, they grabbed people's attention and it was really a smart move to have fully licensed artwork and sound packages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me niether. I'm kind of wondering if this was maybe specific to Billy Smarts Circus, like how fairs usually have an arcade with slots and maybe pushers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spa Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 There was one in my local arcade all those years ago, also on 2p. Dont think it's emulated, but would love to be proved wrong! Be great to have a bash on it again. 1 https://www.facebook.com/groups/264122764904452/?epa=SEARCH_BOX Fruit Machine Discussion - Facebook Group.

Still a cool machine, just really appreciate the ones that are kind of like little time capsules of things gone by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitsnappa Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 Same as Frank N Stein isn't it? That's emulated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logopolis Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 It's a Crystal machine and it isn't in the legacy section. Also nothing on the rom dat for this. I remember seeing one of these in the wild all those years ago, think it was in Great Yarmouth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy-1 Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 Sure we haven't got the roms, I had some artwork for it and was looking to do a classic. We have the roms for Circus which was by JPM and this has been emulated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never know though, really surprises me how we have so many fruit machines on here that you just wouldn't expect the ROM's to have survived. I'll keep an eye on eBay, see if they ever turn up by chance, then pass on to one of you genius's to work your magic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosgee Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Used to have one in Golden Sands Hunstanton, the gamble would flash slow then fast, so not so bad to time it to get the wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
