Hi all,


Put £650 in this £70 jp machine week or so ago, I see from the other thread that there is something for this machine, would anyone be so kind as to PM me and tell me? I believe its an old rip but this particular machine must have surely had it done to it to take that much off me? Any info appreciated.

Best to cut your losses before you are 6k down. Put it down to experience.

Most people on here are clueless bud. Your best bet is to try eBay. Or you could always ask over at JackpottyForums, they're MUCH more useful there.

Hope that helps

Yep, good one lol I see someone mentioned ebay, is the stuff on there worth the couple of quid?

No disrespect, but certain people can work out things for themselves about "how happy" a machine is. ie by the number of red features lit on feature empty, the numbers that spin in on the reels, what it "let it spins" on etcetera.
Others are passed information by others and then there is Joe Public.
I would imagine that this machine has paid to it's percentage, and that over several thousand spins you find yourself £650 down. There isn't a mythical "rip" on every machine and also you shouldn't listen to exaggerated claims on websites ie I made £4000 last week.
You could always force the JP out and see what happens from there ie Collect nothing except JP.
Good luck, anyway.

Ive seen on another thread here that there is a JP rip for this particular machine thats all, well, before it was chipped/on remaining unchipped versions.

I can see when some machines are happy with the reds etc but this particular machine offered me £5 with 2 guaranteed repeats from my first couple of pound, how could it then go on to d!ck me so badly, was this fake happiness?!!

Adding to this thread from a casual's point of view - I would saythat Star Wars V (this one) is amongst my very favourite of machines of all time. I have the dual stake 25p/50p £35 jp in a local arcade for over a year now. It's fairly flat profile but feature entry is usually to every £2 or £3. That's what I like in a machine, like going back to the £25 jp days. Star Wars V is a bit "broken" in the sense that if you get cherries and gamble up to mixed bars, you see the jackpot symbols in the top winline, so you know that it'll be impossible to get 3 nudges whilst in the feature. Also, the colour red means almost bugger all. On the cash side, it has to be both red and repeat chance for the cash to repeat. On the feature side, red only benefits Rocket Money, which is usually £4 on white and £6-8 on red. When the trail bonus gives you win spin and it spins in grapes instead of cherries, then you know that it's in a pretty good mood. I like the Rebel Strike feature because it is so unpredictable.

How did you know it was garun 2 repeats? I still don't believe you lost so much? After 300/400 what were you expecting, no sympathy.
