A comical video of a ‘human fruit machine’ has gone viral after the ‘old school’ game puzzled youngsters at a seafront event in St Annes.

The traditional game – once a popular attraction at village fetes – entertained visitors of all ages at the International Kite Festival and RNLI Open Day on South Promenade last week (September 9 & 10).

But one video shared by local mum Holly Dyson has gone viral on TikTok after she filmed her young son’s baffled reaction to the comically rigged game.

But the youngster was thrilled when the ‘human fruit machine’ came up with three apples for a big jackpot win on his third nudge.

The boy walked away a winner after picking his prize out of a bucket of toys, as the Rotary Club gentlemen launched into another whirling round of ‘human fruit machine’ – complete with sound effects!

All proceeds from the fun game will help fund the club's community and charity support work, said the Rotary Club.
