Fruit Machine Chat

Being bored of the usual crud (DOND, BULLY, PQ, CM, HM etc) what is worth playing for fun, and the chance of the odd £ or two?

Unlike QM, Cool, Grecian, Nil, Istem, et al, I'm not in it for making a profit but out for the occasional reward, whilst having fun.

At present I'm on Premier League Darts (other than those at £2 jackpot) and Colour of Money.

The new South Park is an easy £2 - £6, and then clams up like a inmate of Guantanamo Bay.

Word Soup, which I hate, is dicked beyond belief, with the £1 being 2000+ points on every machine I see, giving me good reason to avoid this pile of pap.


Machines in my area:
Paragon: loads
Gamesnet: very few
ItBox: Every w-spoons
Open: 0
Inde: some
Kudos:1
DICE:0

Fun:

By Any Means
Blockbuster (I shouldn't but I'm old enough to remember Arkanoid)
I have a mate who used to be darts excellent (not new version) but I like it when he's not around, plus it makes the landlords think I'm not a genius quiz pro.

Profit: There can be only 1 (although you are right about the new South park game for beer money)

QM

Heh, Arkanoid (and Revenge of Doh) were classics.

I'd go for BAM too as you get a reasonably lengthy game and the minigames keep it interesting (apart from when that bloody balloon one requires you to get some stupid metreage to get the bonus!)

Re Arkanoid! You wouldn't believe me if I told you I hold the UK record. Probably. I constantly point this out to the kids who are fucking about being pussies trying to get Prestige on Modern Warfare 2.

Got it on MAME some time ago. Pointless without a proper controller though.

Was Revenge of Doh doable after level 13 was it?
