Just wondering if anyone has heard of top take fruit machine or it was sometimes called top the lot. I usewd to play it years ago round about the same time silver shadow was out. I was wondering if there are any layouts for this machine & if so could someone point me in the right direction. Wouldnt mind seeing it again reminds me of the time i used to put my paper round money in it!!!! Hahahaha!!! Cheers ......LATEST NEWS!!!!! managed to get a small picture of the top the lot logo i'll post it here see if it does jog anyones memory but at least it did exist. Thought i was goin mad not many people have heard of this fruity shame there isnt any layouts and roms out there coz it was a great machine!

Sorry geezer, cant say i have heard of it..

Do you have a picture at all or try searching the web. If you can find an image / flyer of it im sure they can do something for you.

Hi There

Yes I remember that one - you got 3 x 50p's for 3 top take symbols which repeated for upto around £15 I seem to remember.

I cannot find any reference to it anywhere - apart from on here !

Weren't Top The Lot and Top Take JPM machines, based on HotPot?

Aside, why aren't these old JPM's emulated - is there an old tech which hasn't been cracked yet?

But back to the subject in hand, I think what you're referring to is Nifty Fifty, although there was another one which had 'smiling' yellow nudges in a pot at the top in the middle, with a 'make or break' option...

Then there was another, also Barcrest of late '86, and had a £1.50 cash jacky, which gambled between 'big fifty' and bugger-all from the already attained £1.50, the 'big fifty' consisting of a repeat of £1.50, £1.00 or 50p, depending when you hit the Stop button.

Every time you completed the feature, there was a skill stop, consisting of 5 gold coins, with "lose", "20p", "5 nudges", "lose" and "nudgepot" - this stepped up slowly, but went down very quickly...

Hi,

No, it was definately not Nifty Fifty although it was the same manufacturer (same'ish sound samples / cabinet etc).

I remember it because it cost me a fortune as it was surprisingly addictive.

nifty fifty was made by barcrest
