If they ain't gettin' "done", you should get a fair game

Well, I don't know how to do them so I will just stay away Jeff, I ain't looking for a fair game!

I'm very happy with my status in the fruit world. I'd call myself an average player, better than a starter but nowhere near a pro status and on that info chain. I play all sorts and tend not to do brains because of the knowledge I have gathered and am still gathering over the last 25 years.
I enjoy punting as it's outside of the day job so not a daily grind and do extract entertainment from it as well as profit/loss.
By and large, I don't ask for info, and tend to play clueless on cluey units until I realise it's better to stay off them or until I get the info down the bottom end of the chain.
I'm not afraid to admit this as my status and plenty of losses were the pre cursor to where I am now. I like machine playing exactly as I have it now, a 20-30% part of my week in down time from work.

Great machines! These were in the pubs when I started out. Used to have a run around Norwich with 5 or 6 Blue Simpsons and a lot of these also had Up N Over in the same pub with them. Then the decent JPMs immediately followed.

Both clot and snakes can be good, can be bad. Various programs for either on 70.

There is a particularly bad program for clot which clams up if you avoid safe cash wins.

there were two barcodes werent there? 1 2 3 and 3 2 1 ..

some features were on one combo and others on the other.. kung fu was easyer to work out as they were in a matrix on the glass, and they were in order.. i think the other machine wasnt so easy to remember which you had?

or maybe im getting confused with something else..

The only feature worth taking on Kung Fu was 2-3-1 Reels Of Fortune which was a free win on the earlier program. Hold the reels with the numbers on them. Same as Numbers Up on Hot Shot.

There was a rare clone of Kung Fu called Hi Noon which was a cowboy themed machine. Not many of these were made apparently.

Er...also Force 10 on £15 and Wild West - both had the empty off the free win - £7.60 + £7.60 = £15.20 which wasn't recognised...eventually it would start rolling in Jackpots and repeating like mad.
