Does anybody remember a fruit machine around in the 80s which put you on a Bingo board as the feature ? From what i can remember, you used to be able to collect on the four corners, a full line or a full house. Had many hours of fun on this one but for the life of me, cannot remember what it was called. If anybody can help, maybe somebody can emulate for us.

I'm pretty sure this machine used to have a Bingo caller to call the numbers if thats any help.

I have recollections of a machine that had three bingo cards on it. The reel symbols had bingo balls on. When the feature was obtained, the reels would step up or down (at the players choice) and whichever card gave full house first would pay that cards value, which if I remember correctly were £2, £3, JP or similar.

I have been trying to remember what this was called/who manufactured it for years!

2 possibles spring to mind, PCPs Pot Bingo (2p play £1.50jp) or JPM made a few with a Bingo theme. I think the most common one was called Reel Bingo or something.

hi im sure the bandit you are talking about is called clickety click,i remember the feature started with a good tune and everyone in the arcade used to run up.im not sure but i think the feature also started randomly,jp was £2 and if you got a £1 off the bingo board u could gamble it,a big gamble in those days,whats a pound now?hope this helps.

I think Raganlebandit may be right,Clickety Click rings a bell. Maybe JustInfo could back us up on this. It would be great to see or play this machine again. Thanks everyone for your help on this.

We had a club machine very similar to that described by JustInfo above. It had two cards, red and yellow, with the coloured numbers on the reels which would step up or down when the feature was obtained. I think you got something like £2 for each completed line and £100 for completing both cards. It was definitely a JPM but I can't remember what it was called; it was a long time ago too, probably 1984 / 5. I keep thinking it was called Fruit Bingo but that was another machine we had there areound the same time where the bingo cards had fruits, not numbers.

Thank you Folks for all your thoughts on this machine, maybe one day we'll come across one hidden in the corner of some seaside arcade. Thanks again.

Ive got the clickety click (barcrest) rom, but i cant get it working in MFME11. When i load up the rom the lights 24 to 27 and 88 to 95 light up briefly then nothing happens, i dont know why cos im not an expert (just started lol) at this fruit emulation, so ive attached the rom on here for anyone to get.
