Can anyone translate? i understand the general question but your post makes little sense to me?




There has been little entertainment in AWP's for a while now, just hi lowing up the trail for mega streak is hardly entertaining, but i play for profit not entertainment.

mmmhmmm scott...agreed...the only entertainment I used to get was from donder boards...

Am I right in thinking that you're saying the value has gone from your machines Phillips?

Happens to us all, runs that are good, turn bad. All depends on who is playing what and when.

Remember the days when arcades had punters in ?

Remember the days you had to wait to play some machines ?

Now I go home, fire up the emulator and play old school games. Today's machines minimal entertainment and inland arcades will surely close soon.

I lost interest around 6 months ago which coincides with my last proper 'day out' on the machines. These days I play my local Hot Stuff for kicks and free money.

Surely the acronym AWP should be scrapped under the Trade Descriptions Act these days too? I sure wasn't amused when certain Bellfruits decided to cost £20 for a board and I'm sure nobody will be amused with the inevitability of £35 boards on the new £70jp machines.

I don't regret knocking it on the head either, in fact I'm more impressed with my willpower for not even wanting to play them.

Yes, I agree..awp should be changed to bwp - bemusement without prizes

[philips1985]

i know what you mean i dont spend know more than a tenner a day

not worth it and i go to my local shipleys in a morning for 5pound price match and 10 on a sunday really get me a bit of fun on a sunday for nothing as well

fed up with putting in a tenner for a board on a 5 pounder

i cannot be bothered at all sometimes as well

Poker face 50p play, £2 prize then death 80% of the time

Most machines have the same CYBTB/Gamesmedia style 3 level layouts on the board type layouts since they are tried and tested to make money for the manus (but boring to play).

I just don't bother playing fruit machines much lately unless i know odds are high in my favour, meaning i generally spend bulk of my cash on drink only lately.

Have been getting hostile receptions in a few pubs i've profited in which makes me feel like playing even less, can't see it improving once buggy £70 pounders start getting iou'd all over the place since i doubt most pub/arcade owners will float them enough to even pay one jackpot.

Expecting horror stories to emerge of £500+ forces and nothing back, simply from using old tested methods not working any more, but players getting sucked in due to addiction/losing their cool and the "it's gotta be due now, i'm XXX hundred in!!!" routine....
