ultraviolet5D Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 Anyone remember old fruit machines in the 1976 era that had outside feature reels that would drop down or up when three wheel feature was enabled (think they had five reels) the outer reals were similar symbol to the uk airforce round circle with small circle in the middle on the airplane wings 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultraviolet5D Posted January 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 I think the symbols had a black outer ring with a small black inner ring, maybe was 5p or 10p per game, they were noisy when you won as they would count every win on each up or down line and could go on till jackpot was achieved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wearecity Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 Welcome, we do have a few members, who played machines in those eras, so hopefully someone will remember it. I believe the oldest machines emulated are Super Nudge Gambler and Ten Up. With resources, such as machine circuit diagrams, older machines are probably emulatable as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultraviolet5D Posted January 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 Thanks for the reply, it seemed like a lot of machines back then had the same mechanics so once you achieved the feature all the reels would start dropping down or up and would carry on boosted wins (mostly tokens) I also remember a machine that had hidden symbols that lit up randomly below the reels area to offer feature wins, I think one of the symbols was a cat along with other symbols and believe the theme was either unlucky or lucky symbols (unsure if it was mystical or ghostly or Halloween type theme) such a long time ago unsure if it was 2p or 5p or 10p plays, it was a good fruit machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultraviolet5D Posted January 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) I also remember a fully digital fruit machine (unsure if it was LCD display reels) no mechanical reels in the 1977 1978 era, nowadays most machine are becoming digital, wish we had digital cameras back then to take photographs of the bandits we played back then, think a Tardis would be needed lol Edited January 14, 2023 by ultraviolet5D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultraviolet5D Posted January 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 Thank you for replying and looking at my posts everyone, it's a shame somebody hasn't written a book with the full UK history of all the Fruit Machines including photographs of all the models from all the brands since 60s onwards to the current models bet it would be a brilliant guide to help everyone, but its probably not been catalogued anywhere, the internet has a few images but not in one place, a lost history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultraviolet5D Posted January 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 Had another think and believe the symbol might have looked like a Target with a black outer circle and a black dot in the middle similar to the emoji attached but with a black dot in middle, unlikely the machine will exist anymore, I have tried looking on line for old photographs but no success from machine from 1976 /77 era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
