Hi,

If you look at my sig it says how I got my first jackpot. This lead me down a rocky road into fruit machine addiction that unfortunately I am still cursed with. Luckily for me I have been coming here since forever and it certainly helped me a lot to understand how AWP's were not gambling (monopoly 60 and its block for example).

Ever since I joined I have been waiting for a release of WinSpin. I know its a tricky one as this fruity had a feature reel similar to the discs that are on later machines. I remember you had to try get either 6 winspins or 8 nudges on the disc if the jackpot was near.

When I say this machine is old im talking maybe 28-30 years old (1980-1982 or round about that time).

I doubt that Cliff's Repro has the roms for this one even as they were prone to breaking down on the wheel but I did see one in a Blackpool arcade about 10 years ago. It was a 10p version however.

Anyone seen one of these around or have any idea how to get roms or so a layout for it? I am a programmer so im tempted to have a go at my first layout if possible and if I could get a flyer I could even emulate it (id probably end up singing the annoying tune it made when it span the feature wheel).

If theres any chance of it being made im sure the capable people here who have saved me a few thousand in playcoins can help me out.

Thanks

Having been a member for so many years I am sure you could guess the answer that is going to be posted - that is, we don't have the ROMs. There is a Dutch game called Win_Spin, but that is far too new. The first step would be to find the ROMs and get them dumped. Then, if the technology has been emulated a layout can be done. If you ever find the machine or a picture of one, make sure you get piccies and upload them to resources as that will make the DX better when the ROMs do turn up.

There is a thread on the Mecca about "most wanted", it may be good to repeat your post over there as those old buggers have all sorts in their boxes of bits.........

Yeah i knew the roms were not available or I would have made the layout myself.

Im not even sure of the technology of the mainboard. I have tried to find pictures of it but to no avail. I can picture it in my head and know the sound samples off by heart but I dont think I could replicate it well enough to warrant the fine quality of the layouts produced by people here and on the other boards and sites.

I will keep trying to find something. Maybe I am just not searching deep enough.

Thanks
