Playing Card (Queen?) Flip game
« on: October 21, 2013, 08:08:09 am »
Around 1988 (in the UK) I played regularly a card game gambling machine with the arcade games in the local ice rink. The concept was simple. 4 playing cards (I think queens) flipped up and down - either mechanically though I think it was a video screen/mirror to make it look like a full card was face up/face down. The game was simply press the button of the last card to go face down and you progressed/won money depending on the stage of the game and how ready it was to pay out I suppose. A simple game, but strangely addictive to play with friends crowded round (false believe that the votes of all would help win)

Anyone know the game? I've not seen it before or since and Google sheds no light. I don't expect it was even very common. I also doubt it is in mame - it was possibly mechanical though my memory does think it was a video image of the cards.
