80's Fruit Machine, 2p play, £1.50 Jackpot..

[1974]

Hi Guys, first post.. Woo Hoo

Used to play "the bandits" in my youth, I'm 32 now so have calmed down slightly!! Plus having a mortgage etc.. drastically reduces the coinage!!

I've been looking to buy an old 80's type fruit machine, the one I used to play on the most is called The Black Hole, had loads of flashing lights and made lots of noise, which attracted me when I was 14 Anyone remember this machine??

The other one we used to play on, which was pretty crap looking back, was called Fruit N Match, another 2p play and I think £1.50 jackpot, or was it £2.50?? Big Money eh! haha

Anyway, I've been checking Ebay for these type machines for a while now without luck, does anybody know where they may be available??

If not, are these games available on Emulators??

Thats enough questions from me for now

Great site BTW.

Hi mate! Good to see you here! You may have better luck with questions regarding emulators here.

But quite a few people on this site are also very knowledgeable when it comes to 'more historical' fruitage action...

Cheers!

Spent many a 2p in that bad boy! haha

Gutted its not available on Emulator Manged to get Line up though Another top quality machine.

Never been to Mablethorpe, live in Newcastle upon Tyne but to be honest I dont play much these days, would love to have one in the garage to bring back some great memories though
