fruit machine featuring Sanxion

Dunno what you'd call it in Italy: the Americans call it a slot machine. You know, like you get in Las Vegas.
It's called a fruit machine here because traditionally the symbols
on the spinning reels are of fruits.

Yeah, i made some commercial work for 2 or 3 of those...

And, no, i'm not the one who ripped those sids

cheers.

In Denmark we call them one-armed- thieves because... well... that's what they ere basically...

[Pex `Mahoney` Tufvesson]

That's the swedish name for them as well... one-armed thieves!

[Markus Schneider]

They are called "One-armed bandits" in Germany ...

Did you know the 2.0.6 update solves this problem?

[merman]

What Skitz isn't telling you is that there could be problems with the update... Isn't that right Skitz?

Ok in the UK, The original Mechanical machines where called One Armed Bandits. The modern machines which have no arms are called Fruit Machines.

A little off-topic, but yesterday when I visited my music shop to buy a MIDI-to-Joyport cable (brr, 199 SEK), the customer in front of me was a young girl around 10 years old. She and her dad bought her a trombone. Well, nothing spectacular about that, if it wasn't for she wore leg prothesis on both legs, one arm prothesis (with an artificial hand) and the other arm ended as a limb rather than a hand. Of course she was used to her condition, so no problem carrying a somewhat heavy trombone case out of the shop on her own. I guess that's one of the few instruments apart from singing or possibly drums which she can get away with.
