Most of those slots are 9-line, 5-reel dual screen video slots and you find them in many casinos across Europe. They are very popular as jackpots pay up to 9000x line bet and special features are particularly fun to play.
Here's a couple examples:
This is a "Coolfire I" technology-based slot (and my favourite^^)
Sharkyâ„¢ - Video Slots - Products & Services AGI - Novomatic
If you click on 'animation', you can see how it works.
A full list of Coolfire I games can be found here: (as you can see, there are loads)

As I've lived in the UK for a few years (I'm from Belgium), I know you guys have something similar in Casinos known as Gaminator machines, with multi-play games but restricted to 5-line play and crappy features...they're also created by Novomatic and feature games such as Columbus, Beetle Mania etc...short end of the stick

To be completely accurate, Novomatic is an Austrian company and is a sister company of Astra. The sub-division that commercialises thse machines is called Admiral Games, and is part of Novomatic Group too.
So, has anyone ever had the chance to play on some of the good machines they can offer? Some of them are really bad but some like Sharky, Knight's Quest, Bananas go Bahamas are extremely fun to play!
Bonus question: has anyone ever heard of them being emulated?
