frig 135 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 AKA the Pounder! Exactly the same. I used to have one of these, as it brought back memories of playing it on the local fair. I was really disappointed when I worked out that it won't ever hold on a jackpot. This machine was one of the fastest solenoid payouts ever! Link to post Share on other sites
Brigham 58 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Nowhere near £200. Even without the crumbly glass. Link to post Share on other sites
BF74 808 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 The Winner electro from JPM 1977. This was a good time for JPM electro games and this was amongst them, Although no nudge it had the feature on the left side of reel glass that would offer a number of bonuses. 20p cash and a number of ways of winning the 50p tokens made it a good % payout machine. The reel glass seems to have seen better days which was something I found with JPMs around then with the glass being a sandwich of two pieces, they were especially a problem of misting up. Although description says working I would still prefer pictures of inside the back and lit up for that top end £200 buying price. Pounder being the £1 version. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
warlord 941 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Over priced like most and looks pretty boring Link to post Share on other sites
sulzerned 1042 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Nice row of features on these but yeah agree nudges would have been a nice added touch Link to post Share on other sites
Brigham 58 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 As late as 1977? I would've expected Nudges. Was the Carfield patent still in force? Link to post Share on other sites

No reason that they could not use nudges but some machines were brought out without them. I recon if this game had a nudge feature too then the % payout would have gone much too high to control.

BF74 808 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Wild Reels, Super Score, Lucky Horseshoes, Lucky Arrows, Money Spinner were other electro's to mention from JPM with no nudges 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BF74 808 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Bell Fruit electro's with no nudges from that time would be Plus Ten/Ten Up, Up & Up, Zig Zag/ Cross Over, Silver Drop, Catch It. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
