We regret to inform you of the sad demise of Bar 7 sited in an arcade in Preston that we look after. Bar 7, was a 10p play, £5 Jackpot machine that was manufactured in the late 80s. Since its manufacture many other machines have been and gone, whilst it has remained popular and paid for its self many, many times over.
After decades of loving care, keeping it going far beyond the length of time that most machines are expected to last, we finally had to concede defeat last week and let him go where the good fruit machines go. But as a tribute to this wonderful machine, please see this photo and marvel at the holes worn into its cashbox made by the vast amount of money that it has generated.
May he rest in peace!
