About this game

Arcade Fruit Machine is a casino simulation from Zeppelin Games Limited, released in 1988 for home computers including Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari 8-bit, Atari ST, Commodore C64/128/MAX, DOS, and ZX Spectrum.

Players begin their career by inserting coins and progress by completing the CASH'n'GRAB feature, collecting selected numbers to complete all letters. Completing it offers a choice between three bonuses—Pick a Win, Fruit Step, or Win Spins—or three misses: Skill Stop, Cash Pot, or Hudge Pot.

The game also includes the CASH RUN feature. Players can cancel or collect during each step of gambling, and finishing the career updates their bank balance in UK pounds.
