Hi all, new BFM release:
A bit of variation from BFG which is nice. That said, the board looks a bit fatboy spin ish....probably another load of rubbish to play too.

yeah Matt you are correct not the best to play!!!!
had the top out of it a few times but can cost a fair bit as usual with this kind of machine.

is this not another clone of suits u sir/full metal jp...?
Anfield, that sounds like you were damn lucky, you surely realise this is not a great machine! Not exactly uncommon for fruitchat tho, every machine going and someone seems to pipe up with
"£75 this £75 that £75 the other"
It's as if every machine out there is great!

not really. streaks / features / etc layed out differently ans about 20 less positions on the board.
certainly a few similaritys but not the same family really

Yeah dont get me wrong it does sound like a brag but I very rarely play this machine at all it just happens to be in my local along with a DOND so I mean I have to play something especially when it gets pumped through all night.
The tops on this are easy and I tell you I think that getting a 2 then out of luck on your first go is a good sign

Was posted about briefly a while ago Matt. Not the best, OK for a few quid. Got that annoying thing of firing you out from one ring straight onto a '?' though.

I'm sure that reminds me of a machine around at least a decade ago called going for gold or something, with the zones too??
Anyone help me there? lol.

I think the machine you are thinking of is the very old pots of gold.....which you play on the emulator these days

Here's the original thread -
http://www.fruitchat.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=6941 - and my attempt at describing it after one experience wasn't too inaccurate .... can't beat a picture though!
Just to clarify Matt - it's not in the least bit like FatboySpin, it plays similarly to JJs but 'feels' different in the way it progresses. The wins from the reels are very frequent and the turbo gamble definitely wins a lot more often than the annoying turbo gamble on JJs/JTRAR etc.
Hi/Lo gambles on squares more often than not lose, so there's little point trying to play that way. When it's ready, it heads straight to the Skillstop square and dumps you into the middle level so that you can collect Gold shots - and all of those features are in line with the Super Shots on JTRAR.
I agree with Anfield Road - it loves to do £75 tops, but beware - it also has a thing for doing £35 tops on the £25 version - usual rules apply.
For a Bellfruit, I actually quite like this machine. If its sited in a place where it isn't gonna be played out all that often then it's well worth keep tabs on. It's also a good thing that the 50p start button is where you'd normally expect the 30p start button to be positioned - so the casual punters might be tempted to spend a little bit more and fill it back up slightly quicker.

<----------- this might be the one your thinking of, played it years back on £8 or £10 jackpot.

We now have a £35 one of these here. Annoyingly its swapped with a lucky devil in the spoons that had only been there for a couple of months! Why not take out that crappy JPTRAR thats been here 18 months! :x
Didn't play it last night. But if a couple of you have chased it and come off ok, then i might have a look in at some point. Can see it gettign plenty of mug play due to the bright colours :P

only played this once and got a greta result from it, now the pub its in is quite busy and so i luckily got a chance to play it on the way back from the bar. Put in the £2.50 change after i bought my pint and got onto the board after two spins (its a 50p £35jp ) , so anyway ion the board it put me straight onto the middle bit with the lcd display and kept going fround giving £3 here and £2's , eventually it ended at £35 which didnt repeat, dont know if it was an IM board as noithing flashed but it was a bit random out of knowhere. I was very happy with that return off 2.50 in. About half an hour later went back on it after seeing some older guy stick in about another 20-30 quid( we were sitting at the table was right across from the machine) so i went back on it and got on the board within a fiver, same thing happens and lets me back into the cash bit in the middle but it stops at £20 so took that as only stuck another £5 in . So overall im liking this machine after tonight being 40ish up on it.

It's very Rainbow Riches isn't it? BFG thinking Rainbow Riches is a success due to Irish theme when it's really a success due to extorionate rip off price per spin theme.
Looks like a garish machine.

Had a chase on here today. Ended up losing about £25 in the process, but never mind!
Seems fairly progressive though for a bellfruit which is nice. 5 Super Strikes and an £11 pot first board. Chased it out. Got 3 £35 middle pots which never went in. When it finally did, big money did the huge sum of £40. Lovely stuff. Still £10 ready after, rechased it and got a bizarre £55. Stone dead after.
I'd probablt go after it again some time, wasn't the worst chase i've ever been involved in. I just wish it had gone for a bit more after blocking for so long!
