In Topic: Club machine from late 1980's help.

Sorry for not replying earlier as I have been busy. The more people suggest that it could be another machine company and not Barcrest makes me doubt myself. Fairly sure it was Barcrest. I said before about gambling £16 and hitting the times 6 and winning and the £16 I think was for 4 of a kind melons, pineapples I think. As for the machine name were £100 club machines actually "club" then the machine name or were they a name but £75, £100 payouts as the Sweepstake machine I played along side the machine I am trying to get the name of was just called Sweepstake I think. Just saying because some of the emulated games are called Club machines and if there was list of machines with photo's then I could see if the missing machine is there.

sorry for the long post but thank you all for trying to help me.

Vince.

Thanks again for all the replys.

None of the photo's had the machine in them so they are of no help. I have had a quick look at the link earlier but a lot of them don't have photo's. Pretty sure it was from 1985/86 I started playing it as I was 18 in 1985 and it was the club for 2 years before I left.

I thought it was Club Tropicana but as I mentioned earlier there is a gamble feature on it where you can save some of the winnings and gamble the rest and the gamble was the same as sweepstake where light went round and landed on the times 1-half,2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.

I had a meet up with some of the mates who used to go to the club at the time I did and we bought some old photo's to show but none were of the machine I am after but a few of the machine next to it called Club Sweepstake.

I am quite sure it was a Barcrest brand as I think that was all that club had in it.

Thanks again for taking the time to help me find it.

vectra666 I can't get access to the mecca site as it says I need 100 or more posts.

Is there anywhere I can look online for photo's of fruit machines from the 1985 to 1990 so I can be sure what one it is.

Cheers to you all for taking the time to help me.

I cant remember what features it had. I started playing this machine and Sweepstake when I went to my local conservative club in 1986 and the last time I played it was 1988/89. I know there was a screen where you can gamble your win and/or save some of it,  also the times 1-1/2, 2,3,4,6,and 12. Not sure of where the digital screen was for credits, wins and telling you what you have won.

Thanks for trying to help me with this.
