Fruit Machine Chat

To return to paragoon's post - I have seen a few of these now.I was concerned that we wouldn't get an issue 35 but as cool correctly predicted on another thread,we have done.The new games are what looks like a new version of Tri towers (I never play those games so can't comment),Golden Gloves,Formul...

Still a few of us battling on,BFK,difficult to say how many.All of us I suspect having to travel more often and making less than we used to.How is life in the bandit world?

This had already occurred to me.Surely pubs wouldn't stand for machines that don't take the new pound coin.It is possible that the companies aren't prepared to spend whatever it would take to update the coin mechs (I have no idea how much that would involve) but cool's experience of having the note ...

Ah,I read and posted on this thread without seeing your introduction.Well done in taking this initiative.Following on from what I was saying above,I do find the industry's position to be a little contrary.I could understand if the attitude was 'spend no more money on the quiz machines,just see what ...

That was an excellent post cool and it would be good if it was read by industry people.I know some of them used to read (and occasionally contribute) to this forum but they mightn't bother nowadays so why don't you email it to games companies and suppliers? Now it may be as Sloach and Nil Satis sugg...

I was stuck behind the ft paywall too,but if you search as Nil suggests,then click on cached content,you should be able to read it.There's nothing earth-shattering in it though as Nil points out.

Yes that would be interesting to read Sloach if you were able to cut and paste from where you read it.I see that he says in the article that they would like to increase the stake to £2 and the jackpot to £150.Now he's probably talking about the fruities here,but I think the quizzy games should all b...

I am not particularly good at this and I know there's people out there who can do 9 darters,however I did find one the other day where the top score was 16 darts and there were only 6 tournament games left.Now,even hopeless me can beat that which I duly did,played off the remaining credits and colle...

I found a pub yesterday that had put its quizzy back in - always cheers me up when that happens.The top word on Word Soup was 'Mizzenmasts' so maybe that's quite a common word amongst the aficionados.

Indeed,Northern Monkey,i wonder how many of those pubs listed are still extant as quiz machine sites.Thanks for the link,Nil Satis,although I occasionally read this forum in those days I never posted and was not aware of that website.I used to enjoy Sum Up too though not sure I can quite remember th...

320,I think.

I was never much good at this and hardly played it,but I do occasionally check out the high scores.The pub I was in the other day had the highest scoring word of 'mizzenmast' which I thought was quite a nice word.There was a time on here when it was a much discussed topic,and also a really popular p...

Eleven months since Issue 34 appeared - think we'll get an Issue 35?

maybe but it never really costs anyone much does it? i've been done out of 59, 132 and several tenners and repeat chances in the last month or so and at least a couple of grand over the past 20 years! and you are correct, not many give a fuck about the player getting shafted! That's tough,bubbles,I...

Can I ask,SoccerHQ,how you phrased the question where Pints had gone and why you were missing it? I'm just wondering if you said that you were a pro,or (I guess this is more likely) you just said you enjoyed playing it.It's quite encouraging that he took the time to reply whatever.Maybe it's worth e...
