Fruit Machine Chat

Now that Noel can payout £100 on a quid a spin, is there anything illegal with say a £100 Psyco Cash beast or Club Casino Crazy? All set to max £100 payout and no more than £1 stake.

Does the Cat B stuff matter now

Legacy machines, you mean sited where they fall within the limits of the current catergories?

Yeah like something that was over the JP before but now legal. If got Rocky that I bought on 250 30 but have switched down to 75 5p for a bit and know a pub where a similar bandit would do well.

Are you just trying to say, can you put a club machine into a pub on 100/75 jackpot ?
If yes then why not just say that ?

i had reason to call the gabling commision the other day and while i was on the hone i asked what the situation with older club machines is ie if the jackpot is under £100. the reply is if they were to be sited they would now come under cat c . i myself would love to see some of the good clubbers put into pubs as it would be so much more "amusement with prizes" rather that a beardy tool says how do yo feel after taking many many pounds off of you.


Copied from the mecca.

Some of the old Barcrests would be fantastic, a Club Ooh Aah Dracula would get a fair amount of play from me. Loved that machine.

Yes harry I agree,These old clubbers would give the feel of AWP again

I don't mind losing, it's getting ripped off, I abhor. And I probably spend £10k a year for my entertainment.

What absolute rubbish, many club machines have no chance of awarding the prizes displayed most of the time.

Having it on low stake yo high jp ratio just means you get to press the start button far more times with nothing happening, makes it become very tedious game indeed.

absolute rubbish russ? they have both got experience of playing both types of machine and have expressed their opinion based on that. or are you in a superior position to be able to judge? most casuals want their money to last longer and features to last longer, both generally are absent on most recent machines. or are you saying putting 15 quid in a new 100 jackpot and not getting a win in a minute and walking away feeling cheated gives the feel of Amusement With Prizes?! oh actually russ, i'm sorry. i forgot you are always right aren't you, sorry mate....

Plenty of club machines than can do 15 quid with out a win, feature board game... sometimes even a nudge.

blocks at 50 on barcrests, bfg that you cant get the jp unless iM.

what else can I think of.

if a punter can't afford the price of play, shouldn't be playing in the first place to feel disgruntled.

on AVERAGE they give more amusement to the casual imo and i expect 99% would agree.

I think Russ likes to disagree with people for the sake of doing so.

There is no amusement in playing dond's, particularly when they are dead. Barcrest club machines and such like will take your money slowly and a casual punter will at least feel as though he hasn't been ripped off.

I've just consulted Russ on this matter and he totally disagrees with that.

Everyone has an opinion, but the manner in which he asserts his is likely to draw criticism.

He isn't right of course, he just thinks he is.
