Name Of 80S Machine, I Can't Remember.

13 February 2011 - 06:37 AM

Hi all, this is my first post. Great forum, I didn't even know slot machine emulators existed until I happened on this forum and I'm having a happy rime reliving my youth, lol. There is a machine I used to play all the time in the late 80s. I "think" it was a £3 jackpot JPM, but I can't be 100%. It was similar to SuperBank in respect to being able to bank nudges instead of using them and hoping they would "hold" and could then be used on the next spin. However, this one was a little different in that it allowed you to convert cash winnings into banked nudges (10p per nudge) in the hope that they would hold for the next spin, held nudges were not displayed as a series of 10 lamps like superbank but were just displayed numerically on a LED display. It also had a feature which was shaped like a target, a series of concentric rings each with a cash value, the feature would flick through them and you had to stop it on the bullseye for the jackpot (it was fully skill, not fixed), this feature also had a hack which was later fixed, if you stopped it on the outer ring instead of the bullseye, it paid out £8 in tokens.

Another favorite 80s machine I can't remember the name of had a progressive trail like feature. The reels had numbers on them going upto 9, each number on the payline would progress the feature. It was quite a funny machine to watch people play, as they invariably would start tapping the feature trail while they counted up where the trail would end if the previous spin held. The trail could land on nudges or money, which could be exchanged for each other. A machine with a similar progressive trail feature concept but with a snakes and ladders theme also existed.

I am hoping these machines have been emulated, but it's hard to search when I don't remember the names, lol. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
