Spend to Win Ratio : £70 v £5

[quasar911]

Which type of machine would give more profit or a better win ratio

£5 jp @ 10ppp ( pence per play )
£70 jp : 50ppp

There are a few £5 jp machine in the small arcade and one inside the pub where i go for my weekend jaunts on the broads.

Am tempted to give the £5 machiens a go.

Q.

[badders2]

depends how much float and what machines

[Drpepper]

Well regardless, a £5jp has a much lower hourly rate, so it's an irrelevance really if you're playing for anything other than fun.

If you are playing for fun, the cheapest option and the one with the most gameplay is the £5 jp.

The larger the ration between stake and jp, the worse the gameplay. As anyone who has ever played a 5p/£100 club machine will testify.

You could also play AWP's on the various emulators to play for free. You can't beat the 20p/£4.80 machines for gameplay IMHO.

Thanks for the advice chaps.

Ill try a fiver in each and see what happens. When i visit the pub over the weekend.

yeah ive just downloaded some emus from isohunt ( about 300 machines ) and will try installing it tonight and have some fun.

5 pounders r crap easily do ten pound plus for a board no value at all

There's a couple of £5/10p machines in a nightclub I go to. I don't really find them all that fun. It takes loads of spins (sometimes a few quid) to get to a board, meaning the reel play is quite dull. And the boards feel quite pointless. There is some fancy ones but it seems to be either nothing or the jackpot. It's hard to take anything they offer you seriously. And everything is rounded up to the nearest £ too.

That said. If you have a spare few quid and fancy a go on a machine then it'll prob last you a good few minutes. Just don't expect those few minutes to be especially interesting.

[Cf]

FWIW I think 50p/£70 is a really nice setup. The jackpot is sufficiently large that it's worth winning, and the cost per play isn't so high to make you feel like you need a jackpot just to break even (unless you get too involved lol).

alot of £5 jp machines cost £4 or £5 to even get on the board :/
i put £55 in a redgaming invicible and got nr 1st bonus and loads of red feature boards before if gave me a megastreak :s
it started dropping after about £6 in and was red and still cost 11 x the jp
thats like putting £770 in a £70 jp machine before getting a megastreak.

You can burn out £5 reds colecting red features ect, iv made 70 plus on these a faor few times. when red ofcorse..

i lost count of the times i made decent money playing mainly 5 pounders while waiting for bigger stuff to get punted up. no risk also.

to be fair there has'nt been much released in recent times that's actually much cop on cat d as far as i'm concerned.

i would'nt play reds on 5jpt full stop usually,apart from aftershocks and similar,totally pointless like already said, boards are expensive and infrequent unless hit at the right moment.

i used to play 5pound spotted dicks ,hbiyr's,jiggins,haunted houses,pacmans ,cashlabs,pcbs ,caesars.......the list goes on, and lots of lowtech 5 pounders and made plenty of money before i even started on any cat c games ......unless the venue was well populated of course ,in which case straight into the over 18's.

i reckon there's a few people on here who've made plenty out of 5 pound circuits aswell ...cannonball? chandler?

you could honestly have a really good day out by the seaside playing nothing else but 5 pound machines> ive usually come out loosing around 40 quid but for a whole days worth of entertainment plus some of the money going for beer tis not a bad day out.

I've got about 10 seaside towns within 20 miles of here and I couldn't agree more. And even if you lose a fiver quickly you can just fuck it off and move on to the next one... £50 into a £70 JP is something quite different.

[liverpool24]

There's an arcade up here by my birds that does £3 free plays every day, I always put it in the batle axe and every single day it ays the same, £4 in take crazy reels, aways pays between 5 and 10. I get more enjoyment out of tat than any £70 machine, but profit wise you can't make much, get on a £5 jackpot red gaming though and believe me as Gee said you can lose a bomb. *thinks back to to prestatyn Pontins, shudders*.

[anfield road]

Play £5 IJ3 and Dambusters for a JP to see if they streak!!
play £5 Big cheese, top dog and High flyer for a Win streak if going past £2 (can do upto £33)
play the pac-man for mb3 for the heads (10p) is well better
hot wheels well empty them if your board can take a day though!
£5 jackpots there are loads and loads more tricks on em half of em still work!

But you will battle all day so £70s are alot quicker hell of alot plus not as boring
