fruit machine
Coin-fed gambling device
A fruit machine is British slang for a slot machine—a coin-operated gambling device with spinning reels displaying symbols like cherries, lemons, and bars.
The name comes from the fruit symbols that traditionally appeared on the reels: I lost twenty quid on the fruit machine at the pub.
