ХТО ТАК КОЛИШКОВІ СВІТОВІ СЛОТИ
For years, Spin Blitz has journeyed from coast to coast, scouring the length and breadth of the UK in search of the finest—and often forgotten—classic amusement arcades. From the rugged cliffs of Land’s End to the windswept shores of John O’Groats, our mission has been simple: to uncover the hidden gems of slot machine history, the places where the golden age of fruit machines still lives on.
The Decline and Revival of Classic Arcades
Six years ago, the landscape was bleak. The once-thriving world of traditional amusement arcades had dwindled, with many classic venues shuttered or replaced by modern, soulless gaming experiences. But amid the decline, Spin Blitz discovered two beacons of hope: Mr P’s Classic Amusements & Reel Fruits in Bognor Regis and Reel Fruits in Maidstone. These arcades were time capsules, preserving the sights and sounds of a bygone era—where the clatter of coins, the buzz of electromechanical reels, and the hypnotic glow of vintage fruit machines still reigned supreme.
Then came the lockdowns of 2020, a devastating blow to the already fragile arcade scene. For months, the neon lights dimmed, the reels stood still, and the future of these beloved time capsules hung in the balance. The closure of Reel Fruits in Maidstone hit particularly hard - its doors remained shut long after restrictions lifted, leaving enthusiasts to fear another piece of gaming history might be lost forever.
But the classic arcade spirit proved unbreakable. In a remarkable turnaround, Reel Fruits staged a triumphant return two years later, reopening to the delight of retro gaming fans across the country. Meanwhile, Mr P's Classic Amusements & Reel Fruits in Bognor didn't just weather the storm - it emerged stronger than ever. Through relentless passion and dedication, the arcade has continuously expanded its collection, fine-tuning that perfect blend of nostalgic charm and timeless entertainment.
These phoenix-like revivals stand as powerful testament to the enduring magic of classic fruit machines. Against all odds, the sights and sounds that defined generations of British gaming culture are not only surviving - they're thriving once more, ready to welcome both longtime devotees and a new wave of enthusiasts discovering these mechanical marvels for the first time.
The message is clear: the golden age of fruit machines isn't just history - it's living history, with its story still being written in flashing lights and spinning reels across the UK's resurgent classic arcade scene.
The 2020 Resurgence: A New Golden Age?
Just when it seemed like the classic arcade was fading into obscurity, 2020 brought an unexpected revival. Across the country, new venues emerged, catering to a growing demand for retro gaming experiences.
But the true crown jewel of the north has to be Onetec Casino Lounge—the new classic arcade of the North. While Onetec Amusements had been around for six years, it wasn’t until 2020 that it truly embraced its destiny as a mecca for vintage slot machine lovers. Their collection is nothing short of spectacular: from JPM’s Sonic the Hedgehog (a rare and beloved title) to Barcrest’s Andy Capp (a pub favorite from the '90s), every machine tells a story.
What makes Onetec Casino Lounge truly special is its ever-growing Classic Collection. The owners aren’t just preserving history—they’re actively expanding it, hunting down rare and iconic machines to ensure that future generations can experience the magic of mechanical reels and flashing fruit symbols. If you’re a fan of classic slots, you’d be mad not to make the pilgrimage.
