Hi guys as the title states would love to know of arcades with classic fruities in like rollercoaster, indy, monopoly 60 you get where I'm going even casino 5 liner, arabian knights up to early DOND that's where the fun stopped for me.

 

I know there's a place in Maidstone and I'm based in the south east (west sussex) so it's a bit far but reachable and will take a look one day.

 

Bognor is just down the road and took a peek in the pier arcade but just see new stuff plus with the kids so couldn't get to take a proper look as is Selsey but the arcade has gone all £100 - £500 which bores me to death.

 

So again any help will be much appreciated

Possibly still there, but there was a small arcade in Bognor town centre, I mentioned on here a while back on the forums. It was just off the main high street and not along the front. It was run by an old guy, he had several old machines such as sp.ace tech, The Golden Mile.

 

I seemed to remember him, not being that chatty though, even when I mentioned, how great the machines were. I remember notices up about pictures not allowed to be taken.

Along the high street next to the cash converters I think, went in once and played a £500 got a gamble which I think was telling me I couldn't lose and by the time I relised what was going on I lost.

Didn't realise they were the same guys mr p and reel fruits.

My brother was going to drive me down there as a birthday/christmas present last year but that never happened.

Then you might know the arcade.

 

I used to holiday nearly every year in the 70's/80's/90's at the Butlins, where I played many a classic emulated machine.

Reelfruits in Maidstone for your 20p £5/6/8jpot machines--Cannot beat this place.

Running his machines at 90% payout and theres loads to play--puts other operators to shame.

Yep 80s/90s I was just over from you in Selsey at there arcades were I was playing the early ones mentioned above plus yer andy capps, road hog, viva espania, Italian jobs etc in the main camp sites, at the time there was 2 onsite right next to each other.

 

Then there was a club offsite that had an arcade with showtime spectacular, fairground and each way nudgers going through to king ker ching before a storm flooded the place out and now it's torn down.

 

It was at one of the ones onsite where I caught these 2 kids with a bulging rucksack of coins and could see they were looking shifty and kept going to global machines and that's where I learnt the 80p emptier

 

Miss them days and them fruits which is why I love what most of you guys have done on here (only wish I had the talent for it) and why I wanted to know if there was any haunts with these still around but it seems like a trip over Maidstone/Tonbridge way.

 

Am I right in Tonbridge is the £10/£15/£25/£35 and early £500s and that the early £500s were a lot more fair? I see they list £70/100s some £70s like the ones we have emu'd are ok but to me £35s were the last fun machine.

Onetec Amusements, Eston, Middlesbrough, Has some good old classics.  Was chatting to Onetec on FB yesterday and he has about 50 fruit machines in his shop. Most of them are 10p Play, £5 Jackpot.
