Theres an arcade on the sea front called slots of fun.They still have an tuppenny cracker,blast a bank and eachway nudger mklll,he also has a few maygay machines including cluedo the original one.I always go and have a tenner in the 3 old classics whilst in blackpool.Bare in mind it's been about two or three years since i last went so these games may now be gone.

There still there Tommy, or were when I went last year. Yeah that Tuppeny Cracker is great. They also have some older new stuff aswell. they have a coinworld machine called Crazy Cops. Thought they had a Maygay Apollo9 aswell. There used to be an arcade near the pleasure beach that had a 7 heaven and a spot light, unfortunately that has closed down.

Keep away from any run by crown leisure. Last email I got when I worked there was dropping all £5 jackpots to 70% payout and any higher jackpots to 80%

I like spotlight and searchlight by magay, adders and ladders, or line up.

I will mainly be on North Shore and not the piers!!!

Mind you Addres is everywhere1!!

thanks, i have a 5mp cam so ill try my best

list the machines you would wish (with in reason NO DOND)

[Taylor525]

Were is there some viva espanas,coral island has got rid of theirs since they got all the dond's in.I know theres a duty free in happy dayz but it's the bwb version which has the bug in it were every number is a shit one and if you gamble it loses everytime.Same with the feature get on board roll an 8 passport forgery game over cheers.

Happy days also got rid of Duty Free so I think Blackpool is fully clear of them machines now. Nearest is Morecambe for Viva Espanias. Coral Island got rid of all their old Barcrests/BWB/MDM bout 4 years ago now :/
