The Dark Ages

Went to the dog racing at Peterborough last night (top night by the way!

). In there they had 4 fruits:

Ready To Rock
Revolution
Italian Job 2
Cash Run

I mean come on, how much older can you get! None of them keyed either!

Kept an eye over them most of the night, saw a load go into R2R so i went after that. Got a barcode pot after about £40 in (cheers dunham). Tried to eke out another, but it wouldn't have it.....forced R2R instead, which did £33? and went stone dead. Lost £30 odd on it which was annoying! :x

R2R and Italian job 2... hmm if I lived there, I think I'd be going there alot :P What a nice selection for the long time professional...

mattb: R2R is not a machine to force for the top on, you can empty it with very skilled play, whatever program it is on, and you are lucky no-one seems to be doing it, otherwise your force for the top could have very well cost £200+.

Revolution would have appealed to me was it at £25 or £15 jackpot?. Used to do about a £80-100 streak when ready, could suck all day though

You sure about that.What about the version of rtr that brings in the green bar and yellow one below the win line EVERY time you shuffle ??

Never seen that version run dry.

Thats the only version you will see round these shores apart from ONE thats unchipped and getting hammered by a few peeps.

Agreed about the "expensive " top if getting "done".£200 plus is not uncommon.

Well i assume this was chipped then.....as i said it only offered barcodes once, and a couple of other times i could have got to them, it just lost the nudge gamble. I was aware you could royally do these over, but it was playing nicely enough apart from blocking barcodes!

in all honesty I haven't played one for years, not seen the machine for ages...

May be a stupid question, but are the £5 ones doable? I'd imagine you'd need to JP every board to make it work which is almost an impossibility.

After all these years the local arcade has one put in, after someone put their boot through a £5 DOND 4 reeler.... which amuses me, maybe they're finally learning that it hurts less to use your foot.
