Fruit Machine Chat

Hmm. It seems my tongue in cheek post has encouraged some new posters to appear on the site. Unless it is Mr. Cool in disguise of course. Either way, new posters benefit the forum so that's 'cool' in my opinion. Ha ha. As per Mr. Cool's drinking habits, it was bugging me that he wouldn't reveal what...

Yes indeed. Ahh those were the good old days.............

Yonks old. It was similar to a previous game called Concentration by Maygay. You answered questions to get to a second game where you had to remember cards in an ascending order (2's first, then 3's etc). Luvvly game. Never saw many, but those that I did were quickly relieved of their monetary burden.

I've thought of a fourth reason which may lead to a ban from a pub. Walking in with a decaffinated teabag and asking the staff to make you a cup of tea, then going to the Gamesnet/itBox and whapping £20 out of a Pespi as fast as you like. That'd probably get you banned. Not that I'm suggesting anybo...

Total Recall

You still haven't told us what you won the money on though matey

I'm always getting banned from pubs. As a general rule of thumb you get banned only when the gaffers/staff are players themselves. Most pubs are quiet during the day and staff often play the quizzes instead of the fruits as they represent far better value. They get a pissed off when I come in and wi...

"Rhiannon was one of our winners on Bullseye in March. As one of the randomly slected winners who finished the game she won a cash prize. You only need to complete the game in order to be in with a chance of a great prize"

Just like the Slack Spanners version then............

Had a proper game on this for the first time today. Plays quite nicely. It's a 2 stage game where you have to 'deal' with the dealer to reach a points target (typically anywhere between 25000-50000), by opening boxes and answering questions. If you can qualify (it's not easy- be prepared to answer a...

I'm guessing that the other guy still knows where there are some machines that haven't been updated so he still empties those, and plays like you on updated games. I've still got 6 Gamesnets running the original Royle Family so there must be old Spot the Differences out there still. Doesn't the Delu...

I think Blob may be an industry insider...........

Hex and its deriviatives are probably the stand out games for the 'more heads are better than one' argument, although the crappy nature of the prizes discourages punters out for drinks. Pop It is definitely a better game with 2-3 players rather than trying to do it on your own, and there is decent c...

Isn't this just a list of games that have at some point been on an itbox? It did give me a bank holiday smile though. The Astrosexology was hilarious - you paid 50p and some Madame Zelda type in a dishcloth scarf and two jammie dodgers for earrings told you that you'd get lucky today with the opposi...

Hmmm. I came across one of these the other day. The higher prizes are not easier to get than on Bullseye, it's just new so punters have graciously been mugged to allow us to profit. Once the easy money has gone, it'll play far more like your average game of Bully, I suspect.

I remember it - it was called MI:Spy and had a bloke jumping out of a window at the start I think.

It was highly lucrative for its short existence. The code thing was hilarious.
