Fruit Machine Chat

"Fruit Machine" quiz machine in a cafe in Mevagissey in Cornwall last September. Must be at least 25 years old.

yes in the barquest days there was a guy from the New Forest who trudged round the pubs with the barquest . He knew just about every answer and always made money but it was mind numbingly boring. He was one of those caught up in the Paddy Spooner Ill pay for the phones calls and be your friend for ...

Also,there seems few time-based games.I can only think of The Chase (anyone think that needs more spoilers?!) at this moment.There's been plenty of such games in the past.How about a game along these lines: You get 20 questions,you have to score so many points to win a tenner.The quicker you answer...

Those units where the only games are Pointless and The Chase...WTF?!?!

That's the one..

Some more from the archives....Suit Pursuit, pacman, 10 quid grid, Royle Family...

I could just be turning into a grumpy old twat but I don't get the enthusiasm for this game. Surely it can be calibrated to only pay out when it's "ready". Every time I've given it a go I've lost in the head to head where, remarkably I score two but my opponents score just the one!-No diff...

I've forgotten the names but the wordsearch game and the one where you had to find bits of jigsaw puzzles? The card game where you had to match up the pairs in the end game (presumably made redundant by camera phones) and an honourable mention for the £40.00 Trivial Pursuit

It was called Maze Master - The last effort from Coinmaster as I remember. They were still recycling questions that had been around since Quiz Master. Great memory....Found one of them set up in the entrance to the caves at Cheddar Gorge! Which until I found a machine (GUAB) in the waiting room of ...

Yes, that's true to an extent but it infuriates me when you're playing The Chase and you fluke 'Which episode of Fry And Laurie appeared before the others?" and then -guess what? - the chaser gets it right too! With Eliminator at least there's always a tiny chance you'll get 8 correct even by ...

I wouldn't like to put a timescale on the total demise but certainly the shortened two screen paragon version leaves a lot to be desired. Still money to be had at the moment but it's a bit of a slog.

yeah, how many quiz pros were taking those 'who wants to be a millionaire' jackpots all over the coast in the late 90's.... Quiz guys have made some decent money over the years, i've met a couple... There used to be quiz machines in places where you didn't need to buy anything to play them... Close...

NUTS still on Paragons....

Interesting thread this:- I don't play as much as I used to but can honestly say that I've never had any trouble since the days of the glitch on Royal Family and those millionaires that could pay out significantly more than £20/£40 jackpots (not the linked millionaires-from memory these were coloure...
