My advice on how to play them is simple- Don't bother. Dire machines with rigid, dull gameplay. No real potential for quick ripped profit, and chasing will usually result in a loss. There is no entertainment to playing this machine unless you are a fan of Al Murray and wish to experience the odd quote of his. I just sigh when I see pitiful, dreary, ill though out games such as this appearing, bereft of any creativity. JPM will be bankrupt again if this is the best they can think of. To think someone actually signed this machine off as being ready for release is a testament to the general malaise of the industry. No innovation, reglass after reglass of the same tired concept. Liven proceedings up whilst playing by simultaneously smashing yourself over the head with a hammer.
Yet another reason not to play fruit machines.
Seafront rats will be losing the will to live while playing this on £5 jackpot in around 6 months time in their local arcade. Just arcade. There is only one Amusement Arcade left in Britain, Reelfruits in Maidstone, Kent. The rest are just arcades.

If you're bored, you could do worse than give it a board. Oscar is right though, the game is too rigid, too controlled. Like most stuff of the post £35 era, It's not actually a proper fruit machine. It can offer £70 on the deal game (I've only ever seen it do this when it's £70 in the box anyway). If it's only giving £2 on the board then it's dead. Deal (The Guvnor) pops up now and again. It wont pay the mortgage, but if your fellow punters are soft enough, you might get the odd half decent board. In a services, forget it. You can force it, but it probably won't be profitable. Board costs usually not more than £10er, usually every £4 or so. Good luck.
Recently I played a buzzy Revolution Just setting up the loco hold and using my noggin with shuffling the reels etc was a pleasure. Poddling Piddlington.

Probably because hes such a vile, unfunny, loud mouthed excuse for a "comedian".Quite possibly the least funny comedian in the history of living creatures on earth. I have a goldfish that is 50 times funnier than this twat.

I find you have to wade through a lot of boorish, repetitive stuff in his act, so I agree in part, although a bit harsh imo, to put him right at the bottom of the pile. I liked his material on accents. Particularly the different Scottish accents (chamois leather Scotsman) and Scousers intercepting German radio communications. If he were a fruity, he'd be a Take it or Leave it. Perhaps there's an irony that the average pub going AWPer doesn't particularly enjoy AWP that features a character that lampoons boorish pub culture?
I am surprised Al Murray hasn't beaten Alice in the popularity stakes. Surely overall low takings are down to it being a small scale release versus the proliferation of Alice? I don't even have locations for 'only way is epic' etc, just the original and that is uber rare nowadays.

I will also concede that he is funnier than Jim Davidson and Roy Chubby Brown.

Fair enough, although a goldfish may enjoy the act a lot more than us, given they supposedly have such short term memory which may be an urban myth.
