Fruit Machine Chat

I might get some opposition by saying this, but I strongly feel that the original Bellfruit Crazy Chair (£70 version) is my favourite Deal machine. I found that the Gamestec one was a let down in comparison. If Spoons want to be 3 years out of date, should have got the Bellfruit version back :-)

I agree with those praising the £70 era. I've had a lot of fun with these as a casual. £25 was my most faved though, and funnily enough £15 being my least favourite.

To the OP - I think it's another year before we see £100 cat C.

Wow, that's harsh. I've had a few unexpected low(ish) IOUs in £2-£15 region, never a problem in Silvers (arcade chain).

I understand enough by reading this forum that a flicker isn't the same as a flash, but what exactly is it? (or quiggle if people prefer me to use that word). Is it a particular group of lamps behind the decal that flickers, and how long does it flicker for? Does it indicate invincible, or is it a c...

Ahh my bad. I never realised that there were numerous versions of Reel King. I just know the one on Skyvegas and the ones in my arcade are almost identical. The only differences in the arcade version is that some of them are dual-screen with reels on both screens, rather like a Nintendo DS and you s...

We are no longer the knights who say Ni. We are now the knights who say ecki ecki pow twang!

Ahhh right. It's the Skyvegas version that I'm writing about, same one as in the arcades. As well as a visual win depicted by reels, you have the audible cue (ding-ding-ding...) running as a separate thread and bears no relation to the reels.

I play this a lot on demo and occasionally for real. Now when 1 king pops out on the purple carpet, I've always understood the streak to go somewhere between £5 and £25. And I know that the more kings you get, the more exponential they become. Today however, a single king went for £50, and it was in...

I've not seen any spelling mistakes, but I've come across a few it's vs its. Like when a streak ends on Gaming Media machines e.g. Juggling Jackpots, the alpha will display Thats your lot! (instead of that's).

Progressive pots on Reel King? When did that get introduced? I know that Rainbow Riches have them though. Congrats anyway

Jackpot-wise, £15 was my least fave, £35 was ok, £70 I actually quite like, although it's more luck-orientated for me. £25 was the definitely the best for me, or 2002-6 with most of the Vivids in that year range. Although I quite like the earlier range of DOND machines 2006-8, I resent Barcrest's ta...

Same here as Harry2.

I agree with the multistake jackpot idea. I would make the stake:win ratio 1:100, therefore 10p/£10, 25p/£25, 50p/£50, £1/£100. Then the play style stays largely the same.

Or 5 numbers between 1-50 and 2 numbers between 1-11 and PM them to me before 7:30 on Friday?
