Re: Hello from Atlantic Canada

Welcome to the forum Lorne!

Unfortunately I'm not a collector of such machines or woodworking experienced. however, I'm sure others more appropriately experienced in these areas will be along shortly to assist you. Pictures of what you have maybe of assistance to them? You can post images here.

Re: Jennings Wild India, more info needed please

I know the Jennings Eldorado 3 Blue Star Chief and Jennings 5 jackpots Star Chief had 3 cherry payouts and these were around in late '50s. I'm sure they featured 3 cherry payout on other models then too. Here's a picture of a 1 dollar Sands Casino 5 Jackpot Star Chief light up with a cherry on the 3...

Re: Jennings Wild India, more info needed please

Don't think I have seen an original Jennings produced award card featuring Wild Indian payouts. Be nice to see an image of one if anyone has one...........?

Re: Jennings - Wild Indian more info needed please.

The Wild Indian symbol on the first reel should substitute for other symbols to complete a winline. Wild Indian-Orange-Orange would pay 11 the same as 3 oranges. Wild Indian-Plum-Plum would pay 13 the same as 3 plums etc. I think your award card is incorrect as the reel bundle looks to pay 3 cherrie...

Re: Win-A-Pint Bitter drop penny on ebay (Jamieson)

Out of 200 coins played: e.g. 50 per each coin entry (×4) the machine provided 4 wins each, accompanied by buzzer.

No manufacturer or supplier details inside the machine.

Re: Sega double pull

If you look at picture 1, the coin detecting lever is elongated and points over the top of the second reel. I think this originally would have been parallel to the first section. In this shape, when you come to play the second pull, the section that you have bent parallel to the first will be behind...

Re: Win-A-Pint Bitter drop penny on ebay (Jamieson)

It's local to me but I think I'll pass on it. Too much ugly dark Formica for me. Shame it was never branded up like some of the brewery bandits of the time. Must not have been a great success, otherwise would have seen more images knocking about, or machines. Nice full pint of Double Diamond on the ...

I'm not sure your £1.70 price of a pint is correct..

Surely that's more like the price of a bottle of whisky?

Re:ô Win-A-Pint Bitter drop penny on ebay (Jamieson)

I would have thought at 2 new pence a go, it must have given a win around 1 in 10/15 to make money and still make punters play the machine. Could have been higher if it relied upon taking its money in the last hour if punters already tanked up by then... I'm sure landlord or club steward wasn't givi...

Re: Aristocat Deci-King payout issue (revisited!)

Firstly disengage the red safety arm. It has a different purpose (see later below). The jackpot is held closed just by the jackpot slide not being released. With the jackpot fitted, the jackpot will not release coins till all slides have moved backwards, eg on a jackpot win. The jackpot will automat...
