Fruit Machine Chat

I have been playing this club machine (£250 JP) quite a lot over the last few months, and unfortunately the most I have taken has been about £110 from 30 winspins. The highest amount I have had from the cash or nudge stacks has been £75.

I am interested to hear other people's experience playing this m/c, as I have fairly limited experience of playing clubbers in general. If you have had jackpot, under what circumstances did it happen?

I usually collect something once I lose my extra life (assuming there is something decent available), should I be pushing it a bit further? Are there any particularly good signs to look out for (i.e. extra life from bonus, skill stop etc.)?

I don't really want to go down the road of forcing, as obviously if you catch it wrong, this could sting you for hundreds. I know an emulator is available but to be honest, I can't be arsed to sit there pressing the space bar for hours on end!

Any help much appreciated.

Check previous threads for this one mate, it's been spoken about before. The general consensus is if it is a new machine, leave it alone. If it's the older version, then play when both pots are full, and it is backing. Had j/p once from Cash stack, had full life, then systematically gave all numbers too.

love this m/c, only play it when backing and giving 4 spaces on the casino crazy name fill, if its doing you in early then get off it. win spins are always good on these, 15,20 or 30 is guaranteed big money. the trick on these is know when there in suck mode.

another ood way of knowing is when the exchange point is ridiculously high from the cash prize.

another point is after you lose your xtra life you have 1 more spin when you cant die witch could make all the difference

Cheers chaps.

I know what you mean about taking one last spin after losing your extra life, if you've got double bingo this can make a massive difference.

The only problem I find when pushing it is that I usually get lumbered with 'boombastic' from the mystery square. On one occassion this happened when I had an extra life & both bingo lines filled up, and all the stacks were quite high so just a couple more spins would have probably resulted in jackpot. Decided to take 30 winspins (rather than £75 from cash stack), but still well pissed off.

I'm pretty sure this is the older version as well, it certainly has the old graphics (like the emulator).

The gameplay you describe tells me that it's definately the old machine. In general, 20 winspins = £65-£84.80, 30 = £90-£121. Ah, the old boombastic, a friend indeed.

that boombastic, id rather get lose than that!!!!

Had a bit of a nasty one on this the other day, put a few quid in and it was backing and playing pretty well so I thought sod this, I'll try & push for JP. Ended up sticking about £200 in it, turning down all wins along the way of course. Got lumbered with boombastic twice but managed to take small wins (£2 & £1 off nudge trail), but started getting a bit concerned as I was running slightly low on cash.

Finally got double bingo & extra life with decent amounts on each stack, but lost the life and my last spin got me up to 30 winspins. I was very tempted to push it further but suspected my remaining funds might not be sufficient, so I admitted defeat and took the winspins for about £120, followed shortly by a £25 nudge win.

End result was about £50 down - disappointing but it could have been a lot worse, by the end the vultures were closing in! At least I know now that unless it's playing REALLY well, a force will probably cost more than the JP and should therefore be avoided. An expensive lesson though

I've played this bandit for 12 hours straight before - £400 down at the end of that! Not bad for 12 hours though. The best way to play this is to go for 30 winspins - fuck the JP cause you aint getting it!!! If it offers 30 winspins you should use your Xlife / s and your free go's (the go after you XL has been scuppered) if it is ready for JP it will give it at this point - it will NOT give it once it has taken both XLifes - and in my experience - it cannot be forced - I have the 250 emulator and have tried and tried!!! 30 winspins will be around 80 - 120.

forced the jp after losing the x-life and xtra spin i dont usually!!! but it seemed happy and bobs your uncle double up,, probably my all time favourite clubber apart from hells bells.

the new version scraps all the good points of the old playing method

I finally got a JP from this about 2 weeks ago. Put about £40 in to get it and ended up with a bank of about £270 following a couple of other small wins. I never lost my extra life during the JP board (interesting) and it just double bingo'd me up the feature stack to the cashpot.

Nice to leave it on a good note as it was an excellent m/c, and has now been replaced with some strange 'Red' clubber that I haven't seen before (it's not on their website).

It's got a 1 win line feature entry that can then be gambled for 5 lines at £1 per spin, with a 'temperature gauge' thingy and what looks like half a roulette wheel on the top

Anyone seen / played this one before?

Sorry if its been said before but this machine was probably in every casino at 1 point. The club/casino loved it as it was heavily played by your average Joe. They were removed a few years back from the casino scene after being present for over a decade.
From memory if u pushed it straight after JP it would cost about £900. It used to pay alternate JP's from winspins or cash. It needed to cycle through its payout structure for each rotation. Hit it at the wrong time & forget it. After jp you could attain at least 20 if not 30 spins usually within £30-40, sometimes less. In a casino it could take, after payouts at least £150/day on average. You then played it within the week. Always play for 20-30 spins if its truly backing & if you get JP , its a bonus. If not just let it suck the resultant payout back & play for similar again.
Not a forceable machine but a decent backup when as in most machines has had a bit of dosh put into it.

Not the most relevant of replys but i have won jp twice on this m/c once when forced cost me about £50 after my mate gave up after £150.
And another time cost me £3 couldnt believe it!

agree with the Doc on this one, not had much luck on JPM clubbers myself, they're all the same massive cycle, you just need to catch it lucky to get the pot.

although saying that, I did get £1000 VRV out for fuck all in so I suppose I shouldnt moan too much...

casino crazy I've had 2 jp's and about 200 lots of spins - that shows you how often you get jp!

The way to tell if it the old or new version is to look at where the casino name is. If it has classic above it then it will be the new whereas if it has crystals above it will be the old.
