Fruit Machine Chat

Ok here's the deal.....

You have 3 arcades, and in each you are allowed to site 5 machines, all have to be cat c current or legacy.
1 arcade is purely what you would like as a player to make the most profit.
1 arcade is purely what you would site as an operator to make the most profit.
1 arcade has to have machines sited where nobody feels ripped off, i.e. players and Joe Public get enough bang for their buck alike.

So, what's the Sceptre van bringing in ???

as an operator

1 ,a dirty chip ,lowtech, mopopoly wheel of wealth single player.
2 ,a concept chip bar-x 10
3 , one of those lovely electrocoin diamond 7 etc
4 , a single partytime doubledecker
5 , a 35jp slotto

As a player :-

#1 - prgram 1 P5
#2 - program 1 Dial
#3 - program 1 slow dial
#4 - prgram 1 4 reeler
#5 - program 1 Going ape

All on hourly top up, think I might make a few quid in there.... When the van changes them its going to be P1 LOTR etc pretty good arcade no staff

As a player I think to be realistic the following line-up would be more than satisfactory.

1. A P3 Dial.

2. A reliable Red, ATM, Invincible or something similar

3. Rovers Return

4. A set of Golden Games that aren't on a bent chip

5. A Tefal Cash Attack

Of course none of this is any good without a regular stream of degenerate gamblers, the sort who like to push Dials, but collect bits and pieces on Reds. The absence of Randoms would also be a great help.

the diamond 7s are very hit and miss, and the cat c slottos have been gash ever since they went in.

id site

bar x7
bullion bars always do well cat c or d
joker poker/poker plus
mega jackpot

all depends on site, sometimes machines do well in one site, and rubbish in others.

maybe even a brcrest stampede 4player, never EVER needs refilling

Yes, good choice. Those Stampede's are particularly chronic, yet still get played alot by young and old alike.

these can turn on you all of a sudden even though you have found the one. you can be 150 up on it and then all of a sudden take 300 off you even though its the 'one'. im sure its filling up the long term pots.

Hmm, i would have to have an arcadia..for playabilitty, got to be one of the best machines ever..i know u said about profit..but that's my one and only choice..u may find a handfull in the country now..shame! Such a buzz hitting the seu!

Yes they were gems those games, found one in an arcade on the welsh coast a year or 2 ago. It was burnt, but I couldn't resist buying it back round so I could nail a shoot em up.

Great times!

theres still one around its the big fairground that goes round the country. its called the hoppings in newcastle. its still has NAZ 'S name engraved on it and PT.

As an operator I'd probably site 5 deals, obv not a dial/unchipped P5/4 Reeler, anything but should make good money. Something fucking awful like Empire Strikes Back or Juggling Jackpots would also take good money I reckon.

Not prepared to divulge what I'd want as a player, but as far as a cross between players/joe publics I'd have:-

Simpsons Beer Guide
Spin On It
Caesars Palace
Chipped Arcadia
Chipped Vamp

All good, groundbreaking machines (tho SBG was a clone of Sparta I guess) with excellent graphics and sound effects (especially SOI and Arcadia).

Love them...i remember back in 2000?, had one sited in a local bookies by me..copped a seu, and it seemed like the whole shop erupted!..and that's before i got the nod bout nums..Arcadia is the dogs..dooodahhhss!
