GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN...
These machines were once owned by us. For whatever reason listed they have now left us.
We still miss many of these machines now.
BUCCANEER - BWB
This machine was one that we were after for some time. Sadly, the game was not 'up to scratch' and very difficult to obtain decent wins from. We decided to release her. Will miss hearing the FANTASTIC audio though.
FANTASY FOOTBALL
This machine was released from our collection due to unpopularity. The machine plays well but not a game for people that like to 'force' Jackpots. It will eat you alive! Deemed as being a poor game we released it.
NOTE EXCHANGE
This machine is a GREAT classic JPM. Sadly we withdrew it from our collection due us not wanting the machine to sit idle as we had decided to retire her. Even now we still miss her. This machine now resides in Kevin's collection (see member collection).
INSTANT JACKPOTS
This machine was bought for quite a sum but arrived with artowork issues. We spent much time and money getting it working and sold it for a MASSIVE loss for others to enjoy.
MAKE A MINT
This machine arrived in a MESS. The artwork was so bad that we didn't even bother taking another pic. It was such a shame that this was beyond repair.
DEAL EM 2000
This machine made by Bowson Leisure PAS and Zenitone was a great little machine but unpopular. There is only so much Hi Lo cards and Blackjack people can take. A shame, but made way for more dynamic games.
WINNER TAKES ALL
This machine was very kindly given to us by KeyKeythe1. We had it in the arcade for a few months. The machine was a little to greedy for Mr p's so we gave it away to a good home.
SMASH N GRAB
This machine was something we really wanted to add to our portfolio. Although we had forgotten how boring the machine was to play.
THE REEL THING
This machine was a nice looking machine that we decided to trial in Gravesend. The trial was unsuccessful so we decided to release her. We thought it was a fair little machine.
ROCKY HORROR SHOW
This machine was packed full of SUPERB audio but the gameplay was not so good. We spent around 12 hours solid work on this to get her running smoothly. She entered our collection in 2011 and left recently.
BIG BANKER
This machine was not popular at all. The game has more 'hype' than playability. In my opinion and others it seemed, not a good machine. Entered our collection in 2010 and left early 2011.
RICH & FAMOUS
A great trail to end Barcrest machine. The machine entered our collection in 2006 but as this is the £5 version we decided to move her on in 2011.
COSMIC CASINOS
This machine was VERY hard to let go. It was a space themed Las Vegas Strip / Magnificent 7's clone. A very good machine, BIG tops! We only let this go as it had artwork issues. So sad. I wish we hadn't got rid of her. I am now trying to get her back.
SWEET ADD A LINE
This was a great little machine. I can almost shed a tear over letting this one go. I just have too many machines and it was just one that had to go. I am gutted still. A lovely double or nothing gamble on it too, so addictive.
This machine entered our collection in 2008 and left our fleet in July 2011
She was our ONLY Marian Electronics LTD machine and we will probably never be able to replace her.
TOP GEARS
This classic machine was MINT. A great retro Barcrest, an icon of her time. Entered our collection 2010 and left July 2011.
CHANCE A NUDGE
This machine was acquired in 2004 and was very well used up until 2007. We then used the machine in Gravesend in 2009 until early 2010. This had a Jackpot of £2 for the bars and £1 for the cherries, very unusual. She will be missed and was released to a private collector whose favourite machine was Chance a Nudge.
MONOPOLY
This was the earliest version of Monopoly with RS Coin very much in the frame. Eventually the release was from BWB and Maygay in partnership. This striking machine we sold for peanuts to be honest, but with us already owning Deluxe Monopoly and the green version we decided to release this little gemstone.
PIRATE 2p PUSHER
This machine was purchased from a gentleman in Scotland in 2010. After much deliberation and a gentle nudge from a fellow collector we decided to bring this into Gravesend. It was a disaster and was far too much hard work as the swag would get stuck and the £5 notes rose up onto the cracked perspex. The machine was very old, the only date we found was 1979. Sadly we took the decision that it was too bulky and not what we needed for Gravesend. The machine now resides in France, a place called Lens I believe, the chap who purchased it brought a trailer to take it back home with him. I wonder what HM Customs thought of that!
