BLACKJACK VIDEO PUB FRUIT MACHINE (£25 / £5 PAYOUT) on eBay, also Fruit Machines, Fruit Machines, Coin-Operated, Video Games (end time 06-Apr-08 21:45:00 BST)

Anyone know how this machine plays?

Anyone know how heavy it is? 120KG?

Would it be viable getting it up the stairs and into my bedroom?

Thanks, Adam

never ever played this but i can tell you one thing...this cabinet is slightly taller than a regular fruit machine.

i dont think it weighs any more and there also should be 2 handles on the back of the machine and holes on the base so getting it upstairs should be ok unless it was tight getting a regular maachine up stairs.

Thanks a lot, Sadly I lost it by £5 though,

What about this Red Hot X:

RED HOT X ARCADE FRUIT MACHINE (£25 PAYOUT) on eBay, also Fruit Machines, Fruit Machines, Coin-Operated, Video Games (end time 13-Apr-08 21:30:00 BST)

Does it only pay out £5 and £25?

If so it might be boring?

Or does it pay out £1 as well like I think OXO does?

Thanks!!

Hi

This machine is basicly a standalone version of Golden Game, there are only 3 wins on this machine

XXX = £5
Bar Bar Bar = £25
X goldenx X = Streak (top feature)

On the top feature the wins are for the main game but the golden X in the middle gives a random (yea Right) cash win from £1 to £25.

On a slightly weird note, I see they have put the Gamcare sticker on that machine at the bottom of the belly glass, where it'll basically not be seen by a player. Is that allowed? I know on our machines at work the stickers are located in the vast majority of cases next to the coin entry bezel.

This is one of the most boring machines I've played to be honest - and the price isn't brilliant too - I'd get something else ... :)

Hi Baz, do you know anything about the machine, I only know from what I have read in the description which is not a lot.

Do you know if it comes with a note acceptor?

Can you change price of play and if so is it done through the software or with stakes/prize keys?

Is this "Texas Tea":?

(make up an email to play).

It looks real good.

Its costs £120 to get it delivered to Suffolk though! (Quote from fruit machine delivery company).

Thanks, Adam

A reasonably new bit of kit, so not a bad price for a home use machine. I think these were first released just before s16 exploded. I guess they were made fairly redundant as a result of this, hence why you have quite a new machine for a good price.

After a lot of searching about VideoStar I have found its made by Barcrest and does indeed have a touch screen, it seems it has a note acceptor also:

If anyone knows anything else about it I would be grateful.

Do you remember what you had to do on that blackjack game, was it just straight blackjack?
