the ferry ones are generally just a load of cops and robbers, with the odd crest chucked in, they are very well covered so you wont find much life I doubt

Don't they run to a very low % as they are not covered by the U.K minimum?

They are allowed to go under the UK minimum legal limit but only to a maximum of 68%.

ferry trip went ok,just got back. loads of 250jp fruits to play. 5/6 cops n' robbers,snb,lotr and other pieces of shit.

i found a global which was playing good,only managed to get 60 out of it but its better than nothing. not too sure of the name, it might have been Blackjack :? : ...........there is a row of playing cards across the top which spin and give you the chance to get 21.

not bad

Which ferry are you getting?

If you are getting the huge HSS, then there are about 20-30 machines, with about half a dozen PCB - and quite a few casino crazies, thunderbirds etc... would be a players heaven if they weren't on such niggardly percentages and usually playing keech - you can still do well, but it's not as easy as it might be.

If you're going by P & O, the last time I was there they had about 10 machines - acouple of new Cops and Robbers, a couple of TERRIBLE vivid machines, and a few other machines I'd never seen but looked keech.

I've never had a gamble on the ferries - is the journey usually long enough to actually win or is it a race against time?
