Fruit Machine Chat

What tricks were there that didn't spread to all and sundry in the past 10-15 years?

1 I found but couldn't get it to happen again, which was a massive shame as it would have made me hundreds of thousands - millions potentially - was in William Hill on their FOBTs when they used to have 'Turbo Roulette'.

Basically the bug was that it gave an extra chip, so you could go into -£ money, and if you laid it all out and lost then you would get the balance from before the spin back in the bank. If you won it was all good and you could collect. Obviously just go heavy on a number and keep spinning till you win the maximum.

Another FOBT one which was widespread but still quiet enough that I made healthy on was Ladbrokes terminals; if you put a couple or more coins in quickly it would block the machine and print a ticket for you balance before turning itself off. Play blackjack with £99 on one box and £1 on the last box and see what you get vs the dealer on the first box. If you had a strong chance of winning then gamble it, otherwise "block" it and get your £100 stake back. Made a fair few grand on these.

Fruit machine wise I can't really think of similar

on perfect dond, if you play on 50p stake, the 50p on the cash stack is a free win

reno reels - loads got on it eventually, but i was on this from virtually day one and probably the machine i earned most money out of.
strike 10 - only knew 2 other players who knew about this
club shuffle - such an easy empty. still can't believe barcrest let this slip.

a few more, but the machines above haven't existed for years.

pay rise, had a skill feature which did not register called spot the ball & that was a classic fruit machine from ace on the £6 jackpots.

Was Strike ten made by ACE? £10 jp. I remember doing Cash Bowls and the clone of it, they came out in no time if it was a fresh unit. Renos were the same as Monte Carlo or Bust if I remember correctly

haha! you are being generous calling spot the ball a skill feature.
did anyone not know how to play these?

the strike 10s made by ace could be emptied (same as wild wild west), but i'm on about the jpm strike 10s
reno reels could be emptied the same way as monte carlo or bust, but also another way. it was the other way that i was on for months and months.

Don't remember A JPM Strike ten. I remember Force 10.

there were at least 2 jpm strike 10s
btw - it was force 10 that could be done the same as wild wild wests (my error)

round about the same time as the reno reels was reno casino . it's doubtful that there were many others on these as i greedily egged the absolute shite out of them whilst still on test..... i learnt my lesson well there.

monty carlo & miami dice were 2 of my favourtes.
£70 was totally free.

£70 was totally free? they were £8 jackpots. these were a decent raise (even when chipped), but i heard of a few getting stuffed on them. some costing £150-200 to empty!!!
btw - everyone was on these. probably bumped into more people playing these than pie factories.
