Looks, to a certain extent, like a clone of the 10+ years old barcrest of the same name.

The two locks and nudges are very similar, somebody on this site has the old picture as their graphic.

Blimey! It is a remake of that old machine with a few added features. :shock:

The original was the second fruit I'd ever played... ;)

Wow :shock: ... Old school or what.

How do you unlock the top board??
Is it something to do with the number of keys??

Nice Matt, where did you get the pic from?

It looks like the old one yes, but also borrows from the club version with the extra wins at the top. Can't remember, think the top on the clubber was called cash buster? You get all the keys and it gives you 1 from the top.

Used to be quite a good m/c. The clubber especially could be forced for all keys and quite liked to give big tops and even jackpots. If I remember rightly ours was a £200 jackpot and the fastest way to obtain all keys was to go for "let em spin" on three cashpots which was either £30 or £35 and which would nearly always give the required number of keys to unlock the top.

actually thinking back it may have been swag bags and not cashpots symbols can't remember!

also, if just playing for small wins then the old gamble once, shuffle reels keep repeating used to eventually bring a win in within one nudge.

I'm trying to remember the name of the old Barcrest machine that was based on this old one - It had the same turbo gamble on the nudges (which there were loads of), going from left to right, and the object was to gamble the nudges high enough to bring down a good win on the reels.

It would give you a feature from a number of different features and cash prizes in the middle, and you could shuffle it to be awarded a different feature at the cost of one position on the cash trail. The good features were gold and the lesser ones were silver.

When it gave a repeat chance, the machine would say 'Ready to Rock You Again!' then the light on the repeat chance wheel would spin round.

When it gave Jackpot, it would say 'This is the one that you've been waiting for...'

In it's day, these were in ALL the pubs - same sort of time as Jolly Gems. They were mainly on £10 Jackpots. Anyone remember the name?
