ok not impressed here, first one I played £20 for a cash stack ( £3+ on extra cash, £2.40 on normal start ), cost a further £35 for a jp repeated so not bad here... although this was on a huge 88% ( + 6% supposedly too )....
next one, was in the pub for ages waiting for this guy ( in the mean time I made the fatal error of playing sub zero, which was £12 light, cost £25 to win the hi-lo to a feature point so ended up playing it out... bad idea £130 for £50 in the long run )... anyway, he's over £100 down on this HC £35, left it full and £4 cash starting from the off... £35 for £35, £30 for £35, £40 for £35 - money back - thats it... from a machine that has been pumped silly and £4 cash starting...
not a happy bunny... I cant belive these are programmed to cost a FULL £35 FROM STACKING CASH!!! thats amazingly harsh, and if they dont then repeat, you dont make a penny from a flying machine!
on a similar vain had yet another pointless £50 in £50 on 50p jailbirds, these are just dross imo sorry matt :P

....low risk gamble, u will lose £5-£15 if no rpt,
possible 25-35 raise,(if it 75's) not a bad gamble IMO,
they usually alright 4 a few decent boards after too..
Not tried the re-push scenario yet........

I was playing in London today, and had some nice stuff on 2 £35 Campers.
Chased the one in Whitehall spoons which did £70 (£60 top/£10 cash) off £40, and another in a small pub off Leicester Sq. which did £65 off £50.
Amazingly, i also had one of my best ever extreme results on the £25 campers in Liverpool Street spoons. £2 in for a £58 bank when i left it.....insanely good! Loads of meaty cashpots, and a £23 under canvas at the end! This is in an area i'm told is always covered......obviously not too well!

matt its quite amazing how lucky you seem to be!!!! That spoons is so covered its amazing, that 25 campers is usually stone!
honestly all I ever hear u say is such lucky results on everything u play, over and over again.....! This isnt reality for most people!
Not having a go, you seem like a really nice guy, but its a bit annoying hearing about result after result on machines that just arent that good!

I like them :P
London wasn't too great overall though. I was about £50 up by the end of it, with most of it from that spoons. Chased the LAB in spoons in Leicester Sq. too, which had 4 reds and £7 from the off. That went for £25, rechased and it did £50. Was in halfs, so we only made about £5 odd each, so not great. The Yates next door wasn't much better, an awful FNC, a dead campers, dead LD and i didn't touch the invincible. Kings X station was similarly bad, with everything awful. The fruits in the burger king at liverpool st. were similarly shite. Definitely not somewhere i'd go just to play.

I don't think I've ever seen a machine in the Whitehall spoons less than £50 away, and as for the one at Liverpool St. station - well ... that is a candidate for Britain's most 'played' pub.
You did bloody well to make money in 'em Matt - to this day I have never left either of those two pubs in profit, and I live here lol
Rest assured you'll have annoyed a large number of heroin addicts by beating them to the winnings

Needless to say, the Kings Ransom, Sub Zero and Corrie were awful in Whitehall.
I went down to Tower Bridge for a look, and couldn't believe there was still a maygay JITC there! I went there last July and it was there....almost as bad as the JPTRAR thats been in the spoons here about 16 months i reckon :x
I'm sure the London outskirts are fine to play in, but i didn't have the time or know where anything was on the outskirts, so i just stuck with what i knew. It's such a big place that there has to be something decent. In Liverpool st. it was heaving as per, and Spurs were at home which added to the numbers. The GADD was flying in there, but some bloke took blue sevens, £5rp twice and £4 which ruined it where i was on campers. Never mind, still think i did well overall!

Why didn't you continue to play the Campers if it offered a 23 under the canvas at the end? It obviously had a huge buzz, you would of prob got loads more wins/sets out of it.

By at the end i mean that was the last decent thing i got. Needless to say that finished it off, but i had 2 more boards after that.....one for £1.20, the other was back to 1-1-1.

The London burbs can be great to play, especially reds. I friday night in Richmond (on the piss no less) netted me about 120 profit playing mostly reds (they were all off their nuts) and knocking back SSS on Abra clones.
I find central London sharked to buggery... sometimes worth checking the city pubs for business types feeding reds at lunchtime.

central london is very burnt (96%), the city is very burnt(90%)... richmond is usually burnt(75%), wimbledon/earlsct/fulham b.war is 80% burnt, acton town/ealing broadway 70% burnt, angel/kings cross/camden 85% burnt.... ermm thats enough for now
of course anything less than 70% burnt I wouldnt be mentioning, although suffice to say its not very common
( when I say 70% burnt I mean 7/10 times u go there its burnt)

Right went on my route yesterday which consisted of 25 and 35 jp campers. I had 8 to do in various pubs/places. Checked all 8 places and 7/8 of them had been replaced in one day!!! Gutted. Played the one they had left which skill bonused from 2 quid in. 8 pound later i got a 75 on the top, 10 quid off 6 reel blasts, loads of sets, a few outdoor sports, under the canvas for 18 and nudge trick for 15 quid.
Made a good ton on it. Was still proper gutted about the other campers being changed though!!

went too do my £25 campers one day last week thats in a re-fill daily bookies, seeing someone was on it and knowing she likes too play it for over an hour i went and done some other bits and went back, it was £54 off but 3 shots and 2 nudges so quite lively. after taking a £5 cashpot on my first board it then costs £8 for my next board that £3 starts, got the JP of £7 so nice and cheap, then next board starts on £4

so went for it again. this is a first for me, usually i just take all the value from the machine after a jackpot, i can only assume that she put in well over a ton too get it in this state.
any one else ever known the signs too be there for 2 continuous forces??

Yes, Lots of times, while the MD/DAN/RTB prefer to just repeat there and then, Campers don't like to, but come back showing next board.
