Bolland's The Winner

Post by gameswat »

I don't remember ever seeing this one surviving before and did search this site with no luck, but maybe just missed it as much to look through? I have an early photo for the machine with marquee calling it The Winner, so the original name at least stayed with this machine. Manufactured by BMCo I'm sure, but marketed by Bolland due to that style of marquee alone. Currently being offered on Aussie Gumtree in Adelaide if anyone is interested: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/happy-v ... 1287484375

Phil Russell might buy it. I know they had a fire but I think he might of escape the flames

This B.M.Co. machine I owned a few years ago (sold to an auctioneer) was just the front, so I had to get a case made. It was a HUGE thing (bigger than a 24 cup type). As jingle says - large balls. This one had about two inch wooden ones. The coin return was a very simple drop coin system. Seems to be a few about.

Paul's Wineasy has dice/domino pips on it, like the catalogued BMCo. 3 Sixes:

But the catalogued BMCo Wineasy has single pips in the corners, like the Winner...
