Jumpin Jackpots

This has just turned up at my work, anybody played it before? I can't find it on any of the Barcrest Groups websites, it's definately a Barcrest. Anyway, i've not played it myself due to Christmas. But a few of the regulars have had a few good wins on it, it's only been in three days and it was jp'd by a mate who was the first to play it after installation, then last night, a boy took JP which repeated twice, then another local JP'd it again, all instances have been with a Reel Roullette slow down. Plus they were all up, so does this make it a good machine, or is it gonna be dead now till it's removed :D , it has 25p and 50p +6% modes.

Cheers.

Is that Jackpots that Rock 'n' Roll next to it? I can't quite make out the writing. I've not played either of these machines yet, but what do you guys think of these new Horizon cabinets that a lot of Barcrest Group machines like Jumpin' Jackpots use now? I think the chunky buttons on them are very unresponsive and slow when it comes to skill stops.

Yeah that is JPTRnR, I personally don't like the Horizon cabinets, think they look really cheap, i agree with the buttons as well, JJ's went for 75 quid off 2 last night for the bar manager, this machine is getting abused. It's only been in a week and i've not seen anybody having huge losses on it, in a cruel twist of fate i've only played it once, ten quid i had to spare, nothing!! :roll:

The buttons can be a bugger, i agree.

Hot Shot/King Ker-Ching......2 of these i've found with half popped buttons, which makes skill cash nigh on impossible to get a high amount.

Must be out on test, it not the clearest picture but it looks kinda like Barcrest have cloned Globals jackpots that roll and roll.

Where about in the country is this ?

Just outside Edinburgh, i'm pretty new to the Bandit 'scene' but it's not like JPTRR, don't know what it's like but it's piss easy to get on the 'super mode' and once your there what i've seen most people do is nudge in Jackpot into view then take Reel Roulette red whic is a caseof pressing start on the JP, plus on the normal feature trail it's not too hard to get to MS, only a matter of avoiding ? 2 or 3 times, if you've started with an extra life which happens regularly too, it seems pretty easy. These are the ways i've seen it played anyway. As i said i'll try get a clear daylight picture before it's turned on.

Sorry to sound like a pedantic fool, but last time I was in there, I don't remember a barrier between the machines and normality. Is that a new addition?

I've only been there 6 months and it's been there since i have, but the bar was renovated no more than 2 years ago and don't think it was there before that.
