Hi Folks

I used to play a club machine (£150 jackpot) about 15 years ago which had the following:

Cashpot
Fruit Run Feature (pretty sure it was called Fruitrun - step up or down to fill a line of fruits, I think bells (yeh, not a fruit), pinapples, Strawbs, or Lemons - first row to complete feature ended)
Pretty sure it was Bell Fruit
Think it was called "The Jackpot"

Anyone recognise this? Is there a ROM for it somewhere? (It was a cracking machine and I used to lose loads :-) )

Any ideas on who made it?

A lot of Bell fruit machines lay un emulated due to either lack of artwork or lack of available rom sets... plus the design tools are a little daunting for many... :twisted:

Pretty sure it was Bell Fruit.

It was probably one of the biggest B*****ds of its time, which would make it a great machine to play when you are not putting your own cash in it!!

It is a pretty hard to find machine! A friend of mine bought one for his snooker club and it took 3 times the profits of the later Pharoes Gold and other £200 machines.

If it can't be done, so be it! You lot have done a fantastic job with these emulations and, although I obviously would have loved to have access to these 10 years ago, it is still a fun exercise to be able to play the old machines and see how effective your old theories really were!

These 2 BFM machines contain all the details you mention in your opening post. ClubTEMPTATION I'm sure has been emulated but don't quote me on that please. The other machine is ClubATTRACTION. Both more or less identical except the graphics.

Thanks for that Compost! Actually, the main difference is that I used to make a fortune from Attractions (my first profitable machine) and temptations! But I got spanked by the Jackpot. Basically, with the extra knowledge that I now possess, I'd like another crack at it!

Temptation is one I'd love to have in the flesh so I could be hitting that Bell on reelmatch again for a bit of nostalger!

The Club ATTRACTION machine in those pics is actually owned by me. Set at £100JP although changeable via a switch just inside the rear door to change for 5p £75, 10p £100 and 20p £150. Or something like that.

Which program version is it?

[eyleyro]

Compost old bean. I certainly don't have an emumlated dx or classic for either of those, so it's presumably a potential for someone with more nouse than me to undertake. Have you been able to upload some good quality pics to the usual resource area, the repository or whatever it's called... Now I've see nthe piccies played a fair bit on these meself! Cheers,
