Summary
Framed three piece set of translite signs which were installed on the first poker machines activated by Tattersalls after they were granted a licence to operate poker machines in Victoria in 1992. These original machines were located at the Zagames Matthew Flinders Hotel in Chadstone, launched on 6 August 1992, with this game, 'Bonus 5's'.
Many of the machines were in operation for over 10 years, with periodic upgrades to the games and the translite artwork on the front. This artwork was retained after removal, and was later used as a display item at the national headquarters of Tattersalls in St Kilda Road, Melbourne, until their relocation to Queensland in 2013.
