If any of your Directors/Management taking time to read these forums just see how popular your machines are at the moment looking at the post count for this section of the forum this last 2 weeks.

I think its time to sack your programming team!
Or clone some more of your old ideas with slight variations.
ie. A Bully for You with multistake/Mega Spins/Double Shots for example.

It's about time they got their arses in gear. I cover 3 town centres and several pubs inbetween them and the only barcrests around is
1 Open the box - Not touched it for about a month.
1 Cocka Doodle Dough - Still on £25 JP

And thats it. Since they bought out all the other companies they seem to have abandoned the barcrest style fruitys.

I think it might have been something like Hippy Hippy Sheik. There was one in Norwich, i'll find out!

Open the Box is definitely like a Red, the fact it kills you first gamble all the time when dead. Loves to kill on 2s and 11s!

Yeah the greatest fruit machine manufacture of all time are going through a terrible time for machines. Really dont know whats going on with them, its like they have just given up on AWPS. I mean they were fine 2005- early 2006ish ,they have just stopped making machines.

If I was the director of Barcrest I would order the programming staff/design team to spend a couple of weeks looking at their old machines 1998-2005 and then ask them to look at the current stuff they are making and ask are these new machines they are creating true barcrests

spotted a few new crests now I take it they are still on test. They were in Leeds Sports Cafe and Doncaster Walkabout.

- lucky ladders (Invincilbe Clone)
- Bank Volt (Open the box jobbie)
- Cash Attack (like old machine with horse shoes)
- Fill Ya Fruits (Shitty looking)
