i was so annnoyed last year when i went to devon, i spent around £30 on a £5 pound jackpot machine (a rollercoaster one) and only got up on the board once! has this happened to anyone else on a £5 jackpot?

I think my record is about £20 on a battleaxe £5 machine. Some machines at 10p £5 just seem all over the place, in a way they are reglassed £25 machines in the sense that when they go I they seem to save up for £20-30 drops.
£30 for 1 feature entry sounds unlucky though

yeah i know

ive had a load more luck lately though, went into hoburne cotswolds for a week, one night i forgot to bring my money down to the club and borrowed a wuid off my mate and just couldnt stop getting the jackpots and streaks! i ended up with about £35 in the end
thanks for your reply

Yep, that was precise;y my point.
I thought you had to be over 18 to be on here. Maybe not....

It doesn't make good reading, but I think legally he's OK provided he's not playing machines with JPs any bigger than £5.
Being a 'player' since the age of 11 is nothing to brag about though.

I agree nixxy haha.
Rollercoaster used to be a quality machine with great sound effects. Arcades with 5JP seem to have fucked percentage payouts. If you want to mmake a profit you have to go around with your 10ps and make 80p - 1.20 profits on each machine for like a whole day. Sometimes you catch things and get lucky - 5jps streak their tits off as well - E.g. Mazzomas pacman plus (When it goes red)
This was the method i used when i was a nipper anyways!

I wasn't really referring to the fact that he can't gamble - I just thought people had been kicked off here before because they were under 18. But must have been another forum!
And a word of advice mate - I first started playing machines at about the same age, 3 years ago. Just don't even bother getting into it.

well walking away from places like the arcade on that uphill high street (just down from the fish market and weatherspoons) is good.
Discipline............its not a swear word !!
