A50p a go machine from barcrest that is in mecca bingo clubs and offers £250+ repeat jackpot. If you decide to play,i can tell you that the percentage is set at 86%.(i viewed this when staff were refilling) Would assume percentage is co. policy. They can be forced and i have seldom ever lost. NOTE- if you win jackpot and it is short of coins,DEMAND that they refill with key because if they open the front it will not return to showing 4 barcrests and you won't get the repeat! Have known this machine to do 3 repeats !

Made fortunes out of these for years.. but be careful on the 250JP, most are chipped, and play god-awful. The 500 ones are better, though trio grandes are chipped also. Most bingo halls had 2 in them about 2 years ago.. the profits were so good on them that I played them exclusively for about a year.
There is more than meets the eye to these fruits. See if you can spot how to manipulate them ! The 500JP can be forced to do a double JP if conditions are right, though many bingo halls frown on you taking 1000 out of a fruit.
Classic barcrest "wave a big flag, I'm ready to go" fruits.

I wouldnt really say you could force the £250 one, had one go to £120 on tne gamble, lose, then not come out for another £900, hardly a classic crest force...

Try playing the one on the emulator, it doesnt come out easily whatsoever, or so I've heard... thats on £500jp...

Saying all this, I've had the £1000jp on it, and a £500 aswell both first board so I'm not going to complain about the machine too much

If you dont want to talk about it on here, can you PM me blackmogu, I have loads of these around still here and there.

Well, it's not ethnic at all ! I'm A Pasty White British Guy hehe. I had a Chinese girlfriend a few years back, and I had alot of black shirts that I liked to wear. And also, I love mushrooms, which feature quite heavily in Asian cooking, and I made repeated requests for. One night, when we were making pet names for each other, she came up with "hei-mogu", mandarin for black (hei) and mushroom (mogu). The name is unique enough for me not to worry about putting numbers and crap after handles on online signups !

fair one Mr Mushroom.

Welcome to the forums, makes a change to have initial posts from people not requesting free wins or personal access to our bank accounts.

Most of them on here know what they are talking about, apart from Lukestar, he personally endorses the m/c Mental Money Monsters cos he owns every single one of them in the country. :lol: If he tries to sell you anything, don't bother, you could probably get the same information off a manu's website.

On a different note, does anyone have a cliffhanger left anywhere?I just know I would crack up laughing if I went into a pub and saw one these days! :D

days! :D
I've been in the game 10 years, and as they say, "My information is impeccable". No need for anyones clues, I don't give out fresh information either, since I'm not in the business of writing out blank cheques to people. Seen too many good clues burned needlessly by loose talk. On an amusing side note, I used to catch the local rats 'spying' on me in pubs, hiding behind columns, tables and corners just on the off chance of catching something. The rio manipulator is something else that I worked out, thanks to a pointer from a lady in a bingo hall a while back. Still good, and will always be an earner for me when I decide to whack them.
It's nice to have a discussion about the vagaries of machines and the like, and amusing anecdotes from players. That's why I'm here.
