king camel vs. thunderbirds

**idontgetit** · 01-23-2006, 04:27 AM

I have narrowed my search down to king camel or thunderbirds. I think i like the thunderbirds theme better but the king camel is decent. I have heard the king camel is really fun to play however it doesnt have a video screen which i think would be nice. Basically im curious if the extra reels make up for the lack of screen or if i should go with the tbirds and get the screen.....

thanks

Shucks, just get both. Actually, the top reels, the real reels, are usually ignored and folks play the large reels. It's the reel action that makes the King Camel.

Well we can't choose your machine for you but...

Recently I purchased a Harley Davidson and was left with the choice of which one Thunderbirds or KC to remove from the game room as space is a condsideration. The Thunderbirds won the nod as I'm very partial to that theme. Most on this site I think would have gone the other direction.

If you order through Big Bear, you can get Thunderbirds, King Camel AND an additional Deluxe model for $499 including shipping. Heck, you can sell the third one on eBay and get a machine for free!

You can have both, but milt has thunderbirds on sale for $99.00 on his weekly specials:

He had King Camel on sale a few weeks ago so you might have to wait until it comes on sale again. But $99.00 for a machine you want, pick up the Thunderbird and then when King Camel comes on sale you can pick that up too. Great vendor and a great deal, don't wait too long or they will all be gone!
