There's probably an offer on to push these into the wild. Rent 1 get 3 free

Would'nt mind these if you could guarantee each game had its individual payout, ie. If you forced the impulse, killed it stone dead, switched games and the other game would not be stone dead.

So MattV is saying if you take £100 out of the Flashback it will effect the roulette or poker game, and if a mug(s) throws £100-200 in the roulette/poker then Flashback will be ready again.

If so, wouldn't it be nice of Barcrest to re-release a few classics at £35jp.

Yes they do, but its a roulette game and not like the bookies one

I'll give it another look on Friday, and find exactly what it says - I'm pretty sure that it appears they are all linked though. So, some munter filling up t'other games may well get the fruits back to winning ways!

I'm pretty sure they are in fact NOT LINKED!

hence why I could play both those impulse games out. I know for a fact the juice ones and games warehouse ones arent linked, and I'm sure it actually says the games are NOT linked on this one!

The roulette on the Juice System only has a jackpot of £35. God knows how it works.

I played a video Flashback in a pub today.

It was in a red Horizon cabinet that'd been converted to house a top and bottom screen, with only the Collect, Transfer and Start buttons in place on the unit. Seen similar conversions in several Agora arcades.

Kept on with the old reel blast/exchange/gamble/exchange routine and got up to Flashback after £15 in. It then flashed up instructions detailing what the feature is and how to play it - the only problem was that it must've remained on-screen for all of 3 seconds before disappearing. I wouldn't have minded reading it! It paid £32.

I then took a Stop'n'Step to see how it compares to the old machine, alas the spinning middle 'reel' is just a blur on a video AWP and it's very hard to describe it as a skill feature. Ended up with £2.

£30-odd later I climbed out a JP and a little bit of afters for a £71 bank. Which I then attempted to collect ...

.. and the whole display blacked-out before displaying some gobbledegook which amounted to 'unable to pay - IOU £71.00'

Marvellous! So now I'm awaiting a phone call and will have to make a return trip to a very-out-of-the-way pub that I don't really want to have to go to.

Nixxy's just answered a thought of mine ' how would stop n step work, would fast cash work and when 2 reels are held twice how easy would it to be stop the third reel, delayed reaction and all?' Answer - you can't do it, maybe a mole has been reading everyones comments asking for more skill based games/features.

Well done!!

I did take 11th Heaven on this the other day, and as mentioned previously (I think!) it was pretty easy to hit...
