Cool, cheers guys. Wonder how much money some people put into these machines to find out tricks like this or do you think they are leaked from the designers sometimes?

To be honest mr hazel/brazil/pea nut, that is the whole point why information isn't just given freely on the forum!

people HAVE put money in to find out these "tricks".Namely "Us!"

To answer your comment you make above aswell, the forum is NOT just a place for "new" players to come and reap information to make them money at very little financial risk to themselves.

Nothing is free in life.

The best experiences, tricks, shortcuts, knowledge you make will be by yourself, playing the machine, putting and risking "your" money in an attempt to find things out.

do me a favour, at some point this wkd go and put £100 through an m/c, any m/c will do, and then report back to us all on Monday how you've got on and what you have learnt.(or perhaps even won)

And if you reply to this saying "no way man, I aint putting £100 of my money through an m.c for other peoples benefit" well, that response would kind of prove my point.

enjoy your wkd.

good call firefox, I think there is not enough help for newbies on this forum really and we're all a bit quick to slate people, which is why I'm happy to advise sometimes, but within reason. Bling bling for example I worked out myself the very first time I had the feature; its just common sense for any decent player, just like it was on dragon drop which is why I have no problem letting people know it.

bling bling was obvious to anyone who emptied fruits 'u sirs I would have thought.

Most tricks in any players time have been told to them by aquaintences. Everyone else would be lying if they said it wasn't the same. It generally costs us nothing.

What does cost us is the years of building up a trust network of contacts. Why someone should feel they can jump the queue in earning their stripes is beyond me. It's precisely where the problem with information leaking comes from... trusting people who have not been through the same lengthy peer-review process.

And look where this lack of process gets us.. exactly !

Well my main hobby is cars and i've put thousands into that rather than fruites and i'd quite happily help others with getting the right mods and making sure they don't go down a route that would cause them problems. It's all to do with the nature of the person and as far as i'm concerned sarcy replies dont say much about them..

i think you missing the point. teaching someone how to play a machine or giving them the latest trick is basically giving money in their pocket. you cannont compare your hobby of cars to playing fruit machines.

money off the machines is probably the majority of peoples bread and butter on here and its all about survival. its not costing you anything to advise people on cars and it doesnt jeporadise your financial position in anything giving advise to someone which mods to buy etc. im sure you will agree on this.

however if why should one teach some joe bloggs the ins and outs to a machine. that person could step on your toes affecting you and ruin the whole scene for everyone else.

I understand to a certain extent as to what your saying but i'm not a hardcore gambler and im from Bradford so unless that person is making their rounds there I doubt i'll be causing any problems.

It is costing me to advise of mods as I choose to try stuff out and share my experiences with as many people as I can so they don't end up spending money where it's not needed just in the same respect that I won't have to put extra money in a gambler when I can save it.

I certaintly won't be sharing anything I find on here with any scumbag chavs ruining the tricks as that would be leading to Argos selling even more sovereins. At the end of the day it's an opinion. There's been quite a few people in this thread that have accepted that i'm new to these machines and helped out where possible and that's what it's all about and I really appreciate it.

I think if people are so into these machines that it pays for their mortgage/living, that they have a bad habit, it's not a job or any kind of profession and will kick them in the arse somewhere down the line big time.

Yes, it is a profession for many of us. Yes it may kick us in the arse somewhere down the line. If it dries up, we do something different. Just like changing jobs, no big deal. Good luck in Bradford. You would'nt stand a chance at the moment anywhere in the slums of Yorkshire.

A full time career playing machines can only spell doom in the long run, I have heard of and met many people who have quit decent jobs to play full time when gains were plentiful, and in every instance their life has gone down hill since whether they admit it or not.

[blackmogu]

quite true milk monitor.. the trouble with playing machines as a living is that suddenly you find yourself with too much time on your hands. Time costs you money, and the increased income that is possible out of machines is soon eaten up.

Also you get the problems of drinking more due to boozer visits, lifestyle issues etc. that comes with having too much free time (look at other areas like musicians/tv stars).

The thing with playing these days, is that there are so many poor machines in relation to good, often you see pubs with 5/6 machines, all of which are bfm/global/games media.

The good stuff (bar emptiable) is restricted to reds/rovers/extreme's (by extremes I mean £35 ones, there is very few £25's about). Given that this selection represents about 20% of current machines, you are left with a huge 80% selection of either non emptiable DOND's/warped clones (including suits u sir etc.)

I can only see this figure increasing further, the killer blow would be if red decided to make more random style machines, that didnt roll, and had a more global/bfm feel to them; if this were to happen, it's pretty much game over imo...

[Matt Vinyl]

ob is spot on there. Warped and the such like are very unreliable, although of course you 'can' get lucky on 'em, but they are not a 'regular source'...
