Fruit machine
From Frikipedia
The Heaven's Gate themed quiz machine.
More simplistic, less quiz-based palsied cousin of the Quizzie. Usually vaguely themed on a popular TVshow/film/sport/death cult.
The rules of the fruity are as follows:
- A "go" on a fruity normally costs 20p. Insert as many 20p amounts as you can afford.
- Press the "Start" button.
- Watch dizzying light and movement unfold in front of you, and check that 20p has been deducted from your kitty.
- Repeat until all 20ps have been exhausted.
- Realise you've used up all your beer money playing on the stupid thing and sit down in disgust.
- Watch grizzled/chavvy local take your place, put in what looks like 5p, press seventeen buttons in a row and pocket the twenty quid in loose change that the machine coughs up.
- Go home.
Friki Note
Despite its hatred of fruit machines, it has always been Friki's ambition in life to work in a factory which programs the light shows in quizzies, which are usually glorious, technicolour cavalcades of madness that never ever ever repeat a motion.
