Fruit Machine Chat

as some of you may know Mecca bingo awarded barcrest a big contract to provide their clubs with Triple 7's £35 and £500 machines. They are going to be 'linked' with several other clubs and share their % base. I wonder if this will be like the old Sec 21's where the top pots could be linked machine to machine (3,4 or 5+ together).

It all seems to be a bit of a grey area. My local club always seems to get test machines too like Astras Big Party, Triple Hot and locomation. They also had the reel deal (barcrest strange one).

Anyway how would this work? would the RANDOM numbers be put in a pool and each of say, 30-50 machines pick a number from a pool of numbers?

Anyone else heard anything?

I played a Locomotion in Kettering a week or so ago, although I knew it had the sinister undertones of '£25 in for a pound win then no top feature', I was hypnotized by the cool gaming screens up top. To my happy surprise, I got about £80 off my first feature.
Yee-haw choo choo.
