it was just serious neglect Simon, all the masks were hanging off , there was no tube lighting , The pay slides were all loose with bolts missing , it was filthy i reckon at some point the previous owner may have tried to swap items whilst it was still plugged in :-/ its just lovely though now its been refurbished the reels really are spot on and i love the yellowing on the glass and reels its just shouts out original

Hi Andrew, I just sent you a DM, I'm the original games designer of this machine, so if you need help just let me know what you want.

Just found this site and thought I'd stop in to say hello as what you lot are doing with our old machines is amazing! I worked at JPM from the late 80's to 2000 then founded Red Gaming in 2000. Pretty much responsible for the design of most of our AWP, Club, SWP and Export machines. Just found out that one of your members is trying to build a Red Dwarf from scratch and was very impressed! it was hard enough creating the original let alone trying to do it from a terrible picture and some ROMS! I'm now in Australia so can only admire what you are all doing from afar. It's also such a shame that neither JPM nor Red survived the turmoil in the gaming industry. The world is a poorer place for it.

I’ve given Andrew the original dev artwork now. As soon as he gets better I’m sure he’ll create a unique masterpiece!

What a machine! Great work, looks superb and not at all jealous 😆 Well done, the works you've mentioned looked a mission, but a mission worth doing as it does look fantastic. Great to see it up and running thanks for the vid upload 🙂👍🎰

I have no experience with a Chico the Bandit, they are rare in the Netherlands too. If one turns up it is most likely broken or half working. I do know for a fact that they work on money and pays it out with a payout slide unit. Sorry I don't have any further information or knowledge about it...

God i miss those cafes !

The game did indeed go to primary test. We made about 25 from memory. The only one that might still survive is the one we gave to the Red Dwarf people at the convention as part of the licence deal.

Yep piece of piddle.

Just awesome 😄
