AHHH we have a something in common .. the basic same rules on this end 

dont take out the hot -rods and say your going to a meet with the guys and end up in some GIN MILL
working on the help or patrons ...

the older WE get the more we learn   --I always told her it does not matter where I go to get hungry
as long as I come home to eat !! -- she semi agrees on that !!

I oly have 3 machines. My wife said that if I ever got 36 machines, I would be divorced.  She would be a slot-widow

Kirk,

Your video is great, thanks for sharing!

I can't believe I missed this thread, great Luxor machine, and WOW what a games room, I'm so jealous!!

Wow! I knew exactly what your machine was as soon as I read the topic on the portal page, and after quickly glancing over all two pages of posts, I don't believe that anyone else has pointed it out yet.

That machine is a reproduction (rip-off ) of a Bally EM called Twin Lightning, model 949 (1972), which was the second incarnation of the Bally Lucky Twins, model 937 (1972).

They:
1. Changed the orange side to red and the green side to blue.
2. Changed the payouts
3. Added the 1 Bar payout (original paid either mixed bars or 5-Bars only with straight 1B's paying the same as mixed)
4. Replaced the red 7s with the oval jackpot symbol
5. Added the progressives.

Original paid
20/40/60 for three mixed or single bars on either color
100/200/300 for three 5-bars on either color
500/1000/1500 for three 7s on the orange and 500/1000/3000 for three 7s on the green.

There was no super bonus for getting six of any symbol other than winning the prize on both sides (only 4500 for six red 7s  )


It's a unique concept, especially using the "Orange and the Green" (think Irish and religion  ). It was one of the machines on my EM wish list years ago.

Thanks for posting the pictures. We now have proof of an S+ 5-reel game!!

Talk about random luck -- on the first spin AND on camera!    Have a  on me.

Actually, Op-Bell beat you to it by a few hours (in a thread in the S+ category, which lead to this thread being resurrected):

There was at least one 5 reel S+. It was a knock-off of a Bally EM game that played as two machines in one and paid off on both the left three reels and the right three (the middle one was shared). I have a pic somewhere, I'll post it if I can did it up.

Thanks Kevin, I missed that thread.

And the Bally EM they knocked off was the 1972 model 949 "Twin Lightning". Ooops, Statfreak already pointed that out. God forbid that IGT should ever have an original idea. They couldn't even come up with an original name.

"Original IGT." Now there's  an oxymoron!
