Cross channel ferries in the 80's, the staff would be waiting to have a go when we got off.

Great vid. What ROM version is it?

[@nickjames1195]

Hi si ,I think its v4.2 .I've got special series and caberet100 as well .those two have specially chipped roms which allow the gamble to £100.

[@antpearson9676]

Absolutely love it. You are the Indiana Jones of the bandit world Ant p

[@stegarv66garv64]

One of my first clubbers this nick great machine 👍👍👍

[@nedkabinder]

Cheers Steve. Decent sounds on this

[@tonyluxton3726]

What a Beauty 👍

[@garystephenson9412]

Only time I ever saw clubbers back then was in snooker halls and rugby clubhouses and only ever really played on one and I can't remember it's name lol Only it was a horse race machine during the late 80s\early 90s

[@nedkabinder]

Could of been another barcrest mpu3 called sweepstake

[@grahamnutt8958]

I used to play the 5p/£50 version quite a lot; albeit illegally 😅 and managed to rack up a few wins. Never a huge profit - maybe £4 if lucky - but rarely lost on this one. I just had to be sure that nobody caught me playing lol. This one, to me, was more playable that its older sibling Luck Strike (think I got the name right); then we started to see the MPU4s come out, methinks.

[@nedkabinder]

Great memories grah .yeah lucky strike came out before royal exchange but very similar machines.

[@freedomfruits7423]

Wonder if the roms in these can be hacked or if there is any others that can make that gamble go past its block, to not be able to gamble up to 80, 90 or 100 quid or even past 8 nudges is a fucking sin.

[@nickjames1195]

I've been saying the same for years jase .I've got a caberet 100 and special series and the gamble is blocked at 20 quid on both machines .I'd also love to see barcrests mpu4 stake up unblocked too as that is exceptionally hard to win on plus crackpot where the pots don't go high enough .if you know anyone who would do it let me know as I'd glad pay for their time

[@freedomfruits7423]

@nickjames1195 have been talking about this with Tony, I wonder if Dave has any theories about it, I'll get back to you bud.

[@nedkabinder]

Cheers jase .I know how difficult and problematic altering or rewriting code can be but I think it could be done

[@tommosclassics8137]

very harsh on the gambles but such an iconic machine great memories mate

[@nedkabinder]

Yeah she was being tight .Craig

[@antpearson9676]

They ae some really high wins off low nudges (until you gambled them pml) most unusual for this style of bandit Hope urnok Ant

[@nedkabinder]

Mmm I think I just got lucky ant. Its not usually very good off the nudge wins

[@antpearson9676]

@sulzer ned It never gives Special Series on a video lol. But I would suspect that they ain't great anyways. How does it usually Jackpot Nock? Spins triple bars in. Ps your replied are always genuinely appreciated Ant

[@nedkabinder]

The only way I've ever seen it jackpot is on the mystery number 7 spot where it gives unlimited nudges .special series isn't brilliant giving a lot of single cherries which is super annoying

[@antpearson9676]

@@nedkabinder Thought so lol

[@Jam-911]

I have one of these First machine I ever bought Love it 😍 everyone says there worthless being four reel, absolute tosh! I think these will go up in value more and more
