does anyone remember 2 bandits(i think there where 2)they where both similar made by bfm i think .Anyway basically they gave random nudge blitzs,where u got 12,13,14 and so on nudges out of the blue and u had 2 start nudging yourself straight away up or down(i quickly learnt the reels),and this went on 3 or 4 times say.Possibly early 80s ,one could of been called nudge blitz but im not sure.These were probably the only 2 made cause ive not seen them anywhere for 20 years,any old schools got an idea,the bandit.

I remember a machine in the late seventies I think it was, called Fortune Wheel or Wheel of Fortune or Big Wheel or something like that (yes I know all those names have been used in machines later on too).

It was 1p play and had a funfair big wheel on the front glass. Randomly it would give nudges with a hand pointing at the top of the reel, which then started turning. You had until the hand had done a 360 to nudge.

Nice clunky reels, possible this was Bell Fruit Manufacturing at the time, but it is so long ago it is hard to remember clearly.

I also seem to recall a series of machines by BFM that used to give random nudges, you would be in normal play and it would just start flashing "Nudge Now!" (and always seemed to run out one nudge away from the three Bell Fruits :) ).

I am sure one of those was the old confusing type, where they decided to be different and put the winline on the bottom line instead. There was another with a fourth reel which would spin a nudge number, also awarded randomly.

These were the machine type with those massive domed buttons.

Sorry I can't be more help with the names, but I certainly know what type you mean.
