MipMap.com (PlanetRecruit.com now) for fruit machine manufacturers:

well established fruit machine/games company. MUST HAVE SOME I.T
RELATED COMMERCIAL EXPERIENCE. Excellent cross training with leading

Found those on groups.google.com, searching for fruit machine software.

calling) some of the following companies, checking for programming
