MONTE CARLO VIDEO FRUIT MACHINE on eBay, also Fruit Machines, Fruit Machines, Coin-Operated, Video Games (end time 08-Feb-09 14:47:03 GMT)

maybe we will see this emulated one day and "reno reels"

[Andy2003]

I Used to play it when it was 4 pound cash and 8 pound tokens... I must of played it when it was a 6 pound jackpot 2...

It is one of the best video one's ever done.. BIG 40 POKER was quite good 2, When they streaked they went mad..

Ive looked into this being emulated, the roms are about (which i have) but there for mame or whatever it's called now but it still doesn't work. something to do with the security on the tech being unbreakable or something (don't quote me as i really don't have a clue what im talking about LOL)

I'd love to buy that machine but as i live in Eastbourne (South East) it's a bit to far away.. I'm keeping my eye out for one closer though..

Fingers crossed for an emulation in future..

There used to be one in the arcade i go to ages ago, and i think what happend was the engineer tried to fill the hopper up and he completely blew the machine to the point that it wouldn't work and thats why we had to get rid of it.
On a side note how can you keep such old skool video machines in such good workin order, i bet its quite tricky.

I sold one for £43 about 4 years ago - regretted it straight away and ever since - classic machines.

[saynowt]

one of the most entertaining and greedy machines ive ever played never got a repeat on hi/lo yet lol even had a two and went higher got another two ffs what a con lol but overall i loved it

[richy76]

tha cards are fixed on them.

[saynowt]

hmmmm i never knew that

[yorkie07808]

would it be possible to emulate this on something like MAME.

[saynowt]

there were marks on some of them but never seen marks on jackpot repeat though lol.. ps i couldnt remember which way to go either.pmsl

[Andy2003]

The cards weren't marked on the RED HOT REPEAT they were only marked on the normal hi lo..

When this game first come out it, the jackpot was always repeating across the screen..

There was some great methods to all the bwb video slots.. They are truly fun to play..

If you ever liked the red hot poker has any one ever played/or seen Jiggary Pokery?

It was a machine with real cards built into it.. amazing play for a poker machine..

I were a wizard on this machine.Found that it could be manipulated from the start and made a lot of cash(and tokens) doing it.Took quite a while for a rechip as well.Wish I could turn the clock back and do it all again.

[angel213]

i seem to remember the marks were top right was a king, right was a four, bottom right was a three and bottom was a 2. been a long time though i might be wrong.

I played these extensively. All these BWB's where way ahead of their time. Even without the tricks these where an absolute joy to play, quite possibly the best fruit machines ever made in my opinion - extremely playable machines. I used to own an £8 version with an early release 'A' rom

These machines are becoming more and more scarce and I deeply regret getting rid of mine - such a classic machine.

Would love to see these in mame sometime in the future for sure.
