Thanks for your help so far guys, we've hopefully listened to what you have had to say and have released another Beta version. You can play on it now by logging into unionjackpots.com and the following has been added.
Same number hi/lo problem fixed
Avoid 'Countdown' if player has 0 nudges
Nearest win bug fixed
Nearest win hint incorporated (to overcome the lack of visibility of the other reels)
£0 win on prize belt fixed
Let 'em Spin incorporated
Hold After Nudge frequency increased
Added Extra doesn't now block feature board
Added Extra now times out
Prize Belt now times out
Money Multiplier now times out
Extra Level knockout lamp now goes out when used in Zones
We are also looking at slowing down a couple of skill features, possibly. Can't be too easy though!

I don't get it...
There are still sp many things wrong with this game.
The TAXI is still woefully difficult to understand where you're supposed to be aiming for.
Nudging to three numbers (which SHOULD have added up to EXTRA LIFE) only put my in with START. This is BASIC fruit machine programming! Come on guys!
I got holds after nudging (which should have given let 'em spin to three £'s), and nothing happened - just did a normal spin. When you do get Let 'Em Spin - it doesn't offer holds.
If you light the top level, you can still get LIGHT LEVEL from shots in lower zones - they should be knocked out.
What on earth is Stop ' Step all about? £1.60? From a feature on the top level? Why change it from what everyone knows it to be?
There are just so many basic still things wrong. I can't get my head round why you would try and reproduce a traditional fruit machine if the people developing it have no grasp of the basics.
Still, gfx and sounds are good!!
I've stopped playing again now.

let em spins you have to hold for the win:
oither stuff i mentioned was this lot, not all of it is fixed yet..
---------------------------------------
every now and again, if you hold two reels and spin the 3rd, the whole screen freezes
hi lo gamble is fucked up.. hi on 9 and 10 works and lo on 4 3 2 works too often then next gamble spins same number for the lose
count down when no available nudges or shots
jackpot should auto collect on bonus ladder
enough nudges for jp but no auto nudge
nearest win dosent hint, and no viewable reels
nearest win doesnt make sense it doesnt step to the nearest win??
when the last feature on a zone is rewarded it looks like it haseliminated everything on the row
superhold jp- no repeat chance
superhold crashes if you have held all three on a non winning line and canceled, then held two matching symbols and the third steps onto the line. it collects the win, then crashes
reel magic slowdown? pointless feature, 1 reelblast....
once all zones are active, light zone squares are still active on the knock outs.. waste of a konckout to eliminate something already active?
possible to win 0 on prize belt, crashing game software.
number run with enough numbers for extra life only lit to light level and didnt activate bonus
nearest win jackpot doesnt offer repeat
skillstop too fast
stop and step doesnt cancel board entry if no win. easy setup for jp
no limit on credit bank?
no hold after nudge doesnt work right, why hold for the win, it should be spin for the win
let em spin?
trail held on 4 but no re-bonus
bonus reel time stopped on no numbers but no bonus
skill nudge far too fast
bonus added extra, 1 add 2, doesnt roll along, changes, and blatently blocks boards
selecta and stoppa bonus can only go to feature entry and not above
number reel only active in view when needed for feature?

These are the same thing... From having played the game last night, it seems you think they are different...peter.clayton wrote: Let 'em Spin incorporated

Thanks for the update. I've not given it a try yet as it does still sound like there's a lot of fixes needed.
Just remember that 'us lot' (the 'customers') are going to be very, very picky when we examine your product - especially where claims are made that the software is to be 'exactly' like that which we would find in our local pub.
I will say though, that there is a hell of a lot involved in developing a playable, realistic fruit 'simulation'. On the face of it, it just appears as a 'single screen' game, no-where near as complicated as some of the puzzle games you can get nowadays. There's a bloody lot that goes on under the bonnet however that needs to be put together 'just right'. Miss it by a tad, and the user will see it sticking out like a sore thumb...
Keep it up, you 'will' get there...

i just had another go,got 3 quick jpts (no repeats :x )thanks to the 15 now available on top zone......................................then it froze!
i quite like the 10 from light level to next light level that it seems to like giving and the fact that boost has always given me a board.
i do think though that if you make a game that looks alot like pcb people expect it to do the same stuff.
the constant errors are making this less enjoyable to piddle about with.

lugsy, i dont thing the % settings are set to "play" mode, i think maybe the beta version doesnt incorparate what we call a accumalative % pot...
so jps after jp after jp come through and the 10 10 10 boards happen way more than they should
also, i think the "machine" is incapable of looking more than a few moves ahead of itself, as it will let you have high wins once you prise them in, but not how you could or would on say a read red gaming machine??
dunno how much sense that makes?
