Fruit Machine Chat

Jeeeeeeezzz!! What a crock of poop! I was in a pub playing pool with a chum, when a guy I recognised came in and got the mandatory half pepsi before moving on to play this machine.

In short, he put £210 in and got about 10 boards during that time!!! With no win higher than £5 offered. It was full after the first £15 or so, and was dropping onto a mound of money. As it was only me, my mate, this guy and the barman, we were all gathered around the machine near the end, and I could see he was nearly crying!

Anyone else had the misfortune of this pile?

Could be some anti-force code doing it's job?

i've forced a cops and robbers £25 JP before and i stuck nearly £300 in without a JP. Was nearly skint so started collecting things. Every board was £15 for a while. This was a while back mind.

In what way?

They're allowed to alter the odds to near-impossibility (just not total impossibility) in the short term (IE when they detect forcing) as long as they pay out correctly over hundreds of thousands of games.

As for actually detecting forcing, all you need is a real time clock somewhere in the machine, and a check on the last time the start button was pushed, and a record of rejecting low wins.

Yeah old Bellfruits would do £10 and £15 boards for hundreds of pounds before rolling at times. Had it on a hulk when i got two ton into it. Rolled it until empty, but they can be ridiculously stubborn.

Agreed. I had to whack £160 into a particular machine today from being £1 off full and not recently refilled to the best of my knowledge. In the end it gave invincible+invincible+invincible+2repeats+£5+invincible+invincible with a few £8/£6/random blooplahs. That's £245 in jackpots though! There was some cost to the boards, but I left it practically empty.
Very stubborn considering it was showing from the off.

fukkin empire games man...absolute horseshit....only gotta have a swig at their 5pd offering to be scared away for life....luckily i havent even seen one 25 or 35jp empire in the wild....indeed a rare beast...smash tha fukka up!!

try an empire club m/c scary

I've only seen Reel Or No Reel twice; the first time I thought it was OK (mainly because I made £20 profit) and the second time it flatly refused to do anything.

I tried so hard to get MS but the bloody thing always throws in the £35 cash shot and auto-collects. I shan't be hurrying to play it again.

Only ever seen this in arcades at £5jp, and it is turd.

tomb raider by empire. excatly the same as that machine. sucks money forever. forcin the machine is impossible. full up and 150in no jackpot. empire machines is taking the piss. must be illegal to do that :x
