Unfortunatly due to expensive licensing , online slots , fobts , real fruit machines really started to suffer at the £35/£70/£100 jackpot period ,,, for those who know the golden period was between the £8 token – £25 cash Jackpots .
This was the period when there were still many Skill machines , where you could hit that stop n step , roman reels , skill bonus , fruit machines were great fun .
There still are 6 or 7 Retro slots arcades in the uk , one of them in Blackpool has over 170 fruit machines from the 80s, 90s, and 00s ,, i try to get over every year for a few days , great fun
