Fruit Machine Chat

Some interesting posts over on fruit-emu.com tonight with regard to the rollout of some £35 JP m/c's:

It appears that Reds are following the general rule that you can play the 30p/play option at 78% or the 50p/play option at an advertised payout of 78+6% (84%). Selecting 50p/play automatically switches play to an 84% payout.

The clued-up folk over there have sited a dual-stake £25/£35 Invincible, a multistake (10/30/50p play) Hot Dog (a new Bellfruit on test), a Rovers Return (a new Mazooma on test).

A new Red called 'Crazy Cash Machine' is nearly ready with the £35 dual-stake too.

If anyone spots anything in their local, make sure you let us know how it plays...

Url ? Cant find it :/

I saw a deal or no deal yesterday that could be played on 30p/50p, with 50p giving you a higher %age payout, and also that everything is red when you get the board - still pretty tripe and £25jp still on that which was wierd....


Anyhow, someone must have seen a £35JP by now, if so, take a pic and post it

I think the license fee for pubs is 3x more for a new £35 machine. That's apparently why no-one is taking them up at present (too costly). A review is due next year, and hopefully licenses will fall to encourage take up.

yes it is for £35JP but NOT FOR 50p play, they can put them at £25/50p with no increase in license

i might be very slow but i haven't seen anyone posting a pic of the beast in the wild yet so here goes. apologies for shitty quality.
it is in the mad bishop&bear in paddington (along with another £35 JP machine).

i think is still on 30p play, i shoved a few coins through and it gave me £15 (no) repeat.

Dual percentage machines confuse me.

If a machine is playing at 78% half the time and 84% half the time, then if you're playing at 78% will the machine be overcompensating for the time it was on 84% to try and get down, (IE be paying out less than 78%) Or is every event independent of the other one?

Furthermore, if the 2 percentages play as seperate games, is it possible that there's two different streak pots in the machine to extract?? Or am i talking bollocks now?

Regards.

Good point DrPepper!

Have played that new Rovers Return one on 50p 'Mega pay' mode. It was actually pretty good! Red's also appear pretty good on this new mode, but they then seem to have unpredictable playing modes (probably just not got used to it yet.)

There must be some Reds though, that this feature will just not be feasible for. GADD for example, get a two on the winline (on mega spin!)and you'll start the board with 8 steps / nudges. LOL

I have thought about this mesen. The only way it could have dual % payouts would be to have 2 completely seperate profiles running. So effectively if you streak the 84% for £75, then you could switch to the 78% and do the same thing.

Its a good thing having consistent % payouts everywhere for us players!!

from what I understand, the 78% will behave as normal but when the 50p stake is played extra money will go into a seperate pot. this will be released on features that are entered on 50p play. should make repeats more likely. I don't think it's like having two seperate games sharing a cabinet.

was playing a 50p a go £25 jackpot last night , cant remember the name of it, anyway got onto the board was pplaying shit so took a red £1.50 it reapeated 7 times which was very surprising to me case the machine seemed to be tight as fuck for paying out fro mwhat i had seen.
