Hello Everyone,

I've just got back from a weeks holiday in Fairborne and Barmouth in mid Wales, and obviously had to check out the seaside arcades there.

I saw only about three of the new 70 pound jackpot machines, there was a DOND, one called Alien and another I can't remember the name of.

However, most of the machines were 10p a go with £5 jackpots.

Here's a list of some of them. See if they rekindle any fond memories:

Here's an interesting story by the Daily Mail I have found:
