Fruit Machine Chat

Played this for 1st time this weeked. 80 in for 35 followed by 70, plus a bonus £25 off number runner on the no repeat credit. Seemed ok, bit of a block at £15 - but no worse than usual, decent red features - stop n step / good times might be the key. No safe cash as well, which is always a plus in ...

Likewise, I only ever saw one £25 Hypalinx.

Ive still got a £25 Hypalinx!

But you can get lucky runs on shite machines.... especially if playing after popular football matches. I play semi seriously, but will go on stupid runs after big matches. The amount of value to be had is quite massive sometimes. Obviously you need a bit of luck, but old time methods of playing full...

Nicely tricked one the other day - no lose on a 6 with red Korma KO; so happy days. Clever machine gives a bonus - and hits next level just to hand it on a plate instead.

I like this machine - seems very fair - and very obvious when showing.

Both Corals and Will Hills have had software updates recently, hence the reset pots. They do not reset every night - just usually when a new game is installed.

Funnily enough the reset screen on Cashino is a full screen payout - so the game NEVER gets played.
Clever these programmers...............

With all due respect, in some ways it can only be a good thing if pub managers / staff are now actively looking out for tooloers / looters / pure scum (feel free to delete as appropriate). Yes, it will be more on top - but no more fucked over machines. I try to get on with landlords - in some cases ...

I'm sure most of you already know this, but today, whilst playing this admittedly awful machine it dropped in the last fruit to award super start. It let me start on step to nearest win - and this was JP. Now i know this isnt the most useful extra ever, but worth knowing if the oppertunity ever pres...

Appreciate not really a fruit machine, But best - and definitely most profitable skill ever was mastering a "cash crane" - before all the arcades cheated and made it an impossible fit or broke the stabiliser. I had two in my local arcade - and it never took more than 4 or 5 goes for a nice...

I picked up a copy in HMV for about £5 not so long back - probably November ish. On of my best spent £5 ever. Anyone watched it with the Hellmuth and rest commentary? - Good stuff.

One question only... Fake red yay or nay? No, they dont fake (assuming you follow the standard rules) But they are absolutely awful machines. I'm pretty sure there is 3 chips for these (2 prior to the note-fix). The latest is flat profile, super-ready for the 70 switch. Agree with this - some seem ...

Agree with Alpine on this one - gd stuff. 2nd visit was great - 20 for £35, 10 back for £70. It was absoutely flying though - seems fine when its genuinely happy - and relatively easy - compared to some current reds - to judge.

Played one for the 1st time yesterday; not a clone of anything - actually some new ideas, took it on two early but this meant i was able to get a good play through - seems ok, very obvious when it is ready and not that unfair except for very big blocks from 10 -15 and 15 to 25. Wait and see what nex...

Plus a number of Barcrest machines would swap such as Spiker, some new mazoomas do it as well - Monopoly RTR did it for me with two JP's on top line

Had this happen recently. A friend said it's happened twice. Looking great to start - every other board gambles around £10 or Blue sevens. £100+ later still blocking. Took jp and the machine does it's celebration dance...then reels spin red sevens and machine switches off. Won't come back on at all...

About 10 years ago - in casino with about £20 after my boss failed to show for his leaving do. £6 in £1000 money to burn (playing for 4th feature) - get a board and here a strange whining sound. About two weeks before this a casino regular told me that meant it was a Jackpot. Pissed as a fart and th...
