The Soviet Video Arcade Machines

While the chil­dren from Europe and USA used to play with Mickey Mouse and Don­ald Duck, their Soviet coun­ter­parts enjoyed the char­ac­ters of Souzmultfilm’s car­toons – the ana­logues of the Amer­i­can Tom and Jerry – the Hare and the Wolf. The Soviet slot machines were an inte­gral part of enter­tain­ment in the USSR. For an ordi­nary Soviet cit­i­zen these slot machines were insep­a­ra­bly linked to walks with par­ents and friends in the amuse­ment parks,  eat­ing ice-cream and candy floss, and feed­ing end­less coins to the slots to get some great enter­tain­ment value.
