Take The Piece

"Take The Piece" is a classic UK pub fruit machine manufactured by Bell-Fruit Games (BFG). Originally released in the late 1990s or early 2000s, it typically operated on a £35 or £70 jackpot setup depending on the specific model cabinet and location settings.

The machine is heavily themed around a heist, a board game strategy, or a pun on "taking a piece of the action." Like most classic British "fruities" from that era, the gameplay consists of two distinct stages:

• Mahjong Showdowns: Players engage in standard Japanese mahjong matches against a lineup of female opponents.

• Punishment Mechanics: True to the franchise, winning matches triggers interactive sequences. However, 4 Ever famously added options to inflict no punishment on the opponents, showing them happy without forced nudity.

• Visual Peak: The game is widely considered by arcade enthusiasts to be the visual peak of the franchise. It features detailed character designs with Tsukasa Jun's trademark facial structures, realist eyebrows, and airbrushed aesthetic.
