Jubilee Riviera Cabinet Style 1950s/'60s bandit ID

Post by dejongd63 »

Hi there,
I’m in Australia and have two cabinet style Jubilee Riviera one armed bandits. I can’t find any information on these cabinet style machines. One is called ‘Casino Belle’ and the other is called ‘Poker Club.’ These are apparently from the 1950s/1960s with 3 reels. They are 10c Australian machines. Looking to see if anyone can give me some information about them and what they are worth?
Thanks....

Hi and Welcome to forum.

Two Jubilee models rarely seen in UK and I've certainly never seen that Console set up for any Jubilee machine over here. Others may have though?
Strangely, I personally have a 4 reeler version of the poker club model. Still has the BA Crew stickers on the back, presumably for a flight from Australia?

I love light up stands and own a few and seen a few variations, I reckon most were custom made or made by slot machine suppliers for arcades and casinos. No idea on value in Aus, !PUZZLED!

Gravedig.... I'm looking for templates to make a tall cabinet for my benchtop Riviera, if anyone knows where I could obtain them.

Your Jubilee Riviera one-armed bandits sound like real treasures from the past. It's always interesting to learn more about vintage machines like these. I don't have specific info on them, but they could be valuable to collectors or enthusiasts.

Never seen the Consol version in the UK but have seen (and made) the "Casino Belle" glass. I find this glass a bit disturbing. For some obscure reason the girl has a diamond-studded eye patch over her left eye. Looks very weird to me, and it's not the only glass she appears on. :o
Definitely not '50s and unlikely early '60'. I would guess from around the time Nutt & Muddle were bought out by Arcadian or a little earlier. You're the expert "aristo", what do you think?

I'm certainly no expert, however, one thing I can say for sure is that that Casino Belle glass is particularly ugly...
