£35 'Video' Flashback (Impulse)

One of these video cabinet jobbies has just been installed in my local bowling alley. It only had two games on it, however, and the one I chose was this!
It played exactly the same as the original, which I was surprised about! And after £20 in, and doing the reel-blast routine, I took 'Flashback', which gave me all the wins except mystery or JP, which I think amounted to about £55!
Anyone else had any experience of this, or, for that matter, any of the other games that are on these?
PS - the sound was bloody loud, but it was good to hear that old feature tune again!

I didn't, would that have proved profitable?
I toyed with the idea of taking 11th Heaven before going higher than a three to get the top, but the way the video number reel works, I thought it might be a lot harder than the 'anologue' variety...

11th heaven on video grid runner was as easy as the old machine, so I expect flashback would be the same for future use.

Ah, cheers!
I remember it'd often give you 11th Heaven a few goes before it was quite 'top-ready' so may be worth remembering for the future...

I think that it was flashback that I hit a 1 once and mystery still gave JP
One of my fave's at the time this was and seemed to be everywhere. Looking forward to coming across this.

Heh! Yep, from what I remember, I think 1,12 or 11 were JP on 11th Heaven.

Isn't the number reel 11 then 1 or 1 then 11 therefore making it virtualy impossible to miss JP.

I can't remember if the 11th Heaven could start the streak? I seem to think that it could on gridrunner, but that was on a £15 Jp, and would give 3 IM boards after.
I guess the new streak if it did it would be just 1 or a max of 2 boards after if it still does it?
Was it ever decided if all the games on the machine had seperate pots?

Well I would imagine Legally they would have to be. It would be very misleading if you take a £105 streak off 1 game then play another game thinking your now playing a different machine when you are actually playing the same rom as the other therefore you stand no chance of winning.

There was some 'note' stating something along the lines of 'the payout of this game is affected by other something-or-others...'
As you can see, I can't recall correctly, but it would suggest that they are linked?

Thats good then, as I see alot of punters playing the roulette game on them, which can eat there money extremely quickly

played one of these fb's the other day, easy force £20 for £34 on the fb feature, looks fine.
gridrunner was on the machine too, which also forced easy but didnt roll....

lol they arent that good!
A few pubs I have seen have 4 video AWP's that have a big "juice" name at the top. They are rubbish though, played around with them alot.
The wierd thing is, that if a pub has 1, it tends to have 4.
