I am looking to purchase the first club machine I ever played. It was at my local snooker club dating somewhere between 1987-90. I dont know its name but will try to describe it the best I can from memory.


The main feature were cards numbered 2-Ace (no 10 I seem to remember)across the face of the machine. I know that narrows it down a bit but stay with me before guessing as I have been to see a few fruit machines that have had this feature but have not been what I am looking for.

The main feature would go something like this. The computer would select a 3 and you would go higher and it would give you a KING (but the cards remain lit). You then go lower and get a 5, higher and get a QUEEN and all the time the cards stay lit. You get the Jackpot by lighting the whole set of cards and say 50quid for light 8 in a row etc. There was also differing levels of feature - sometimes you had a stack option which meant you could stack all the lights together and get a bigger win.

I have spent 5 years looking for this machine and tried everywhere else. Can anybody help

It's called pick of the pack by BFM.Should hopefully be a layout released for it within a month or so:)

That machine was a classic!! My snooker club had 2 of them (out of 3 in total) and you could only get on it after someone got the JP.

The only other clubber from that era that was as popular was Kingtut.

Cant wait for the emulation.

King Tut is another machine that hasn't surfaced for emulation :(

This was the first time I had ever won £100 on a fruity !

Went into the local W.M Club, put £1 in it, held two bells, other two dropped in !

I remember it could keep you going higher and lower for ages when you needed one or two cards to complete the set (to get the cashpot - usually £100).

I would give the earth to see that emulated. I spent my youth on King Tut and snooker!! The only win I never got and never saw was 4 cherries.

Tony has got that machine where he works, in the "The joys of working in gaming" thread on FF.

Maybe a dumping is in order. :)
