Spiker the Biker: Barcrest’s Motorcycle-Themed Fruit Machine

Spiker the Biker has plenty going on before you even look at the reels. Barcrest fills the blue glass with a cartoon biker, a wheel-shaped bonus area and a central board that looks like a motorcycle instrument panel. The pink cabinet trim makes it particularly easy to spot in a row of machines.

The main feature ladder runs up the left-hand side. Coin Climb, Pound Run, Reel Roulette and Cash Climb sit towards the bottom, with Money Belt, Seven Stepper and Pick a Note further up. Near the top are Skill Cash, Money Multiplier, Loco Motion, Note Skill and Hi-Lo Notes.

Opposite that ladder is the cash scale, with a separate panel of banknotes alongside it. The layout makes the different parts of the game easy to distinguish: features on one side, cash on the other, and the smaller central board between them.

Down on the sloping glass, the three reels sit beside a large grid of coin-shaped positions. Hold and Hi-Lo controls share the button row with Start and Collect. It is a busy design, but the motorcycle dashboard gives the centre of the machine a clear focal point.

That combination of note games, coin graphics and the biker character gives Spiker its own personality. This profile describes the cabinet in our photograph; it does not treat unverified timing tricks or software-specific feature claims as rules that apply to every version.
