I've had this machine for years, and I just can not find ANY finformation about it on the 'net, and I've been looking for a long time.
If anyone out there recognises this thing, I'd sure like to hear from you!
All that I know, is that its a poker machine from either the late 70s, or early 80s, so is in all likleyhood older than I am. Its 'graphics' consist of something like a dot matrix array, but with incandecent elements that definatly arent LEDs.
It has a voice, a mono tone chirpy beep and thats it.
Oh, and I'm sure it cheats...

Yup, and its kinda weird too..
It supports 2 players, put in one 'coin' or in my case, flick the lightswitch on and off, and you get a credit for player one. Flick it again, and you get a credit for player 2. After that, any more credits all go to player 2.
Kinda like Gauntlet, additional credits increase your play time in the game.
So if you're player 1, and you want to put in an extra coin, player 2 gets it =p

Hehe! Clearly player 2 also gets the worst hands, since the machine wants them in the game longer. ;D
Is there any more info on the item? I'm seeing a lot of small words but cannot make any of it out. Many things have the manufacturer's name, year it was made, perhaps even serial or model numbers, etc. Would be helpful if you could respond with all the words you can find on it, those on front and any on the sides and back. Perhaps I can find out some info from them.
The machine is by Computer Kinetics, the only other ID on it is the Draw 5 GT.
The other text is information on poker hands.
What I'd really like is to find a handbook. I've had this machine apart and there are lots of DIP switches inside, I wanna know what I can safely fiddle with ;)

I see what is text underneath the "Computer Kinetics". What does that say? And is there anything on the sides or back?
I take it you don't have the box?
