Title: Seaside Arcade Horse Racing Game Post by: Jamier-Host on December 16, 2012, 08:57:46 AM I'm looking for a machine from my youth in order to try and buy/hire it. I found the one pictured below on Brighton Pier, but it isn't the one I remember. Unless my memories are massively distorted it had 8 horses rather than 5. I think they went as follows:
Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, White, Purple, Orange, Pink (maybe slightly wrong order) If someone knows the location of one of these babies then please let me know! https://www.dropbox.com/s/ujyt7y414nanel2/Photo%2025-11-2012%2010%2055%2015.jpg (https://www.dropbox.com/s/ujyt7y414nanel2/Photo%2025-11-2012%2010%2055%2015.jpg) https://www.dropbox.com/s/xg4y32eq7cxir2r/Photo%2025-11-2012%2010%2040%2013.jpg (https://www.dropbox.com/s/xg4y32eq7cxir2r/Photo%2025-11-2012%2010%2040%2013.jpg) Title: Re: Seaside Arcade Horse Racing Game Post by: Simon Galloway on December 16, 2012, 10:17:06 AM There's definitely one (if not two) 8-laners in the Bournemouth Pier arcade. Not that I would ever indulge... Not sure if that helps!

Easy moneyTitle: Re: Seaside Arcade Horse Racing Game Post by: smashedagain on December 16, 2012, 11:06:20 AM Lol. I thought you may have meant the one with about 20 seats where you roll the balls up the shoot and the horse moved the corresponding number to which the ball drops in. Now that would be fun to hire. The camel version is my fav but can't post a pic because my photobuket ain't working

Sorry can't find website as Arcade Games seems to be a blocked search at work.

These were only cent bets and you could only get about 100 on as you had to tap the button for each bet, each perm had a button so there was lots of random button smacking. I really really liked this game, as did the umpteen Chinese friends who you had to fight to get a seat.
All the others mentioned in this thread are class as well.
