oh the days..
had that from day one! made my money from that really. for ur info george it ripped back percentage so (say72%fruits) 250 took 320 and the 1000 version took near on 1150
No board, no nudge, no nothing...
(if it was dead when getting pot)
I had 2 1k versions in casinos and a few snooker/social clubs always tried to do them when it had taken value first
I'm not a clubby person, I'll play snooker but not the machines. I never saw the fabled Club IJ. Wowser, what a rip. Plus I didn't realise £1000 incarnations were around. It's bad enough say a Wombat taking £30 for a board, but over a grand?!??! For a board? That must have caused chairs to fly and abuse to be hurled. They can't have been that popular. I'm guessing it was straightforward enough to work out this rip with a bit of nouse. Get a few K hits lined up on the books and that's darn good money.
Uuuft. I'm all excited now, I don't know why, it's not like I won any money on that.
Showing my age a bit here, but back when I started playing. Every BFM was fair game.
I remember going in a social club that had a club attraction (£150 jackpot). Took a £150 cashpot out. They refilled it so i took the other £150 cashpot out. They refilled it again so I hit £50 on reel match and gambled it up to £150.
Super Blackjack £200 had a fault on the original prom 1.0
2nd feature up was a reel match feature and you could hit a bar (slipped most of the time but would randomly stick 1 in 10 attempts), match the 4th reel up for a £50 plus win. Of course £50 and over was from a seperate pot!
2.0 changed the feature completely from reel skill to choose a fruit type feature! didnt matter though as SBJC was good for top and gamble! 3.0 a little worse and 3.1 was a pain in the arse. were there any other chips i cant remember? Dover / Calais boats eventualy had 3.1's on 60% lol, that made a nice gamble to get out honest! :P
i used to do ok from a couple of old 100jp superblackjacks never knew anything special on them ,just did used to gamble upto 8pound sumink and then go x12 if you'd just had your king on x6 it was long spin time quite often.
it was one of those machines that only rewarded bravery if you did'nt go for it you'd never get it gifted to you. never saw one pay out to a punter who was'nt brave enough to risk notation on an 8 anyway.
