power 5 chipped 70% cunt, big reds , italian job, s&ladders ( yes i class this as wank as well)


these machines have been there for months and months and months infact the p5 has been there years ... theve been tooled a thousand times chipped and rechipped , had the glass smashed the hopper glued the fuckers wont change em.


is it because games tech have bought out l/link and the full changeover has not yet been made? and therefor they wont change em yet ?


even been on the phone and did the old " im the manager trick "

" your concerns have been noted "


waited with baited breath.... nothing ! petrol bomb perhaps? any other suggestions?

maybe a real hustle scam is needed where i walk in and nick em ? any way enough bollocks spoken , do you lot have the same troubles in your locals?

My local had the wonderful VIZ sited for a while and people were getting sick of it. So the landlady, the bar staff and a few yokels demanded it to be changed, the staff who I know told me they wanted a DOND - FFS.

A DOND Red Alert arrived shortly after - Your local watering hole, where dreams come true!!!! :roll: :lol:

4 Machines in your local :shock: :shock:
My local has got a £5 Inchadinkadoo

Spoons seem to have stopped changing machines. The 3 spoons close to me have a total of 13 machines between them and the only change in the last 6 months has been a star wars replacing a P5 that had been there 1st £35 JP machine they had in.
So theres 2 R2r,1 Winstopper,1 showtime, 2 DF,1 Bully,1 Cluedo 2 Hot property, 1 WOW, 1CYBTB & 1 Star wars, What Joy!!

If they make money then they will stay, my work has had a red alert since it was released on test. I remember my last work had a jptrar for over a year, and a nightclub near me had a rat pack for over 2.

I've had the same Vortex for 2 years, i think it was brand new at the time, might even be longer than 2 years in fact, i've had a £25 monty pythons flying circus that was there about 4 years i reckon that lasted, similar with a £25 big bro, 3 decent machines there so no real complaints :) .

I find machines have changed a lot less over the last year, I blame the lack of releases from Barcrest/Mazooma (obviously this has changed in the last couple of months).

I still find it difficult to class the machines we were playing a year or so ago (panthers, cluedos, rovers, £35 invincibles, Vortexes etc) as old!

ive had about 5 different machine changes in the last 9 months, mainly cos of breakdown or us gamblers constantly complaining how shit the current ones were!
the longest serving was a p5, 4 months, (was unchipped for 3 of em but didn't find out the trick till late, luckyly no one else knew it either so it was easy money for a while). we also had a lucky devil last a whole 3 days!!

Sterling idea. I'm sure that will slip under every barman and local drinker's radar.
