Fruit Machine Chat

Most debits are registered in the nighttime usually by 0:15am, so it might be worth checking the online banking once more tonight. But yeah, it's looking unlikely if not debited by now. Similar dilemma to Glastonbury. Phonelines (incidently only live for 1 day) and their web site was hammered and co...

Yeah, good Thursday for me too. Popped around one of my local Silvers after work. I played Break The Bank, the DOND with the diamond-shaped board. £15 in, it dropped red phones. The streak went for flat £70 but I certainly wasn't complaining :-) I recycled a few wins, just to explore the machine fur...

I did fill it in without much objection, although the question regarding who was stopping over at my house on precisely 29th March struck me as weird.

If I remember right, there was something in the board rules saying that you need to make at least 1 post if you value your account. Zero-posters get deleted after 8 weeks if they still haven't posted.

Brill :-) I forgot their titles so thanks for naming them :-)

I had my AWP buddy staying at my place for a few days this week and we naturally checked out a dozen pubs and a few arcades. Most machines were either DOND or Bank Job. We chanced 3 of the BJ's, all playing pretty badly, and seems to be a poor conversion of the older (but better) Juggling Jackpots a...

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit :-)

Pubs - yes, sited more often
Arcades - less often

Congrats on the win. The £5 version can be equally as mad. I've had the top go for £25 on a couple of occasions. I would generally avoid the machine though, £35 or £5 - it was one of those machines where I had beginner's luck then it rapidly went downhill.

you mean the most amount of units in different places? Yes, I meant the most number of units of the same title seen anywhere. Has anybody still got a good 4 reeler?? Still find loads of unchipped bankers and the odd p5 but never 4 reels :( I don't know about program number but I still have a 4 reel...

Yeah tell me about it. Grannies playing OXO and middle-aged wimmin playing 2 Reel Kings side by side, then proceeding to reserve them while they draw out more of their pension / dole money. At least they don't hog the AWPs which is my main area of play :-)

What is the most number of machines with the same title (not clones) have you played in the wild?

For me, it would have to be the Italian Job 2. They were everywhere at one point and they are still popular at fairgrounds and holiday resorts.

2nd most common machine would have been Golden Dragon.

Most of you know that I'm only a casual, but I got to say that 2011 is one of my better years. Sure I've had a bit of bad luck recently but I'm still slightly up overall for 2011. When it comes to jackpot amounts, I never got on with £15, perhaps because most of them were before my time, but ones I ...

The rounded edges of that new cabinet reminds me of an iPhone!

Does this really happen? I can't say I've encountered one personally. A machine did reset on me once while invincible, thankfully only a cat D.
