Roulette

Roulette



Gameplay on these oak-cased flashers was straightforward: Insert a penny; press and hold the metal button and watch the lights flash, the object being to stop the lights on winning symbols by releasing it at just the right moment.

There are three challenges: First steer the ball down a see saw towards the gap in the first switch box; then try to catch it in the fingers; and finally, push the knob to drop it over the third switch box. There are 5 balls for 1d, and achieving a score of at least 9 returns your penny. The score dial and coin return are activated electro-mechanically.

This giant allwin is a sister machine to the standard-sized Spitfire. It probably had a framed-mirror top sign originally.

Conquerors’ Flags

Conquerors’ Flags



Insert a half penny in the slot on the top right of the machine. Turn the handle, middle right, to release four balls. Turn the knob, bottom right, to bring a ball to the top of the playfield. As the ball falls through the pins, use the knob, far bottom left, to move the shield and aim to catch it. If successful, the first flag on the right will flip over and cover an enemy flag, thus showing a successful catch, and the ball will be returned to play again. The game can be won using just one of the four balls, as it is returned to play for a successful catch. The aim of the game is to catch any of the four balls five times and cover all enemy flags. If you get as far as the fifth flag, then you use the knob, bottom middle, to turn the final flag (Union Jack) to cover the German flag and a half penny will be returned to the cup at the bottom centre.
