Think it was a crest and maybe that's not the full name of the m/c or the correct spelling. Played this today for the first time. Cost £10 for the first board which went upto £15 cash and a £18.** cashpot. Decided to take it on!
Took £40ish to offer JP which I declined being geedy :P cost an extra £10 for the MS which went flat, ta very much! Milked a £10 cashpot which repeated and a few £5er's after. Wasn't down much but wasn't impressed with it!
Anyone else played this? Does MS normally go flat?

50p play for double darts is huge if you can blag a few throws! If I play it again I'll have my milky hat on.

It's Al Murray, clone of Oche, Oche, Oche. Terrible machine, no real streak profile, costs loads to go in and no shortcuts really. I'd avoid if i were you!

To give it its full name, Al Murray's Happy Hour, it's a strange beast with obvious winning/losing gambles.

If it really makes you work for what eventually turns out to be a disappointing MS, there's usually a JP available shortly after from Golden Hold, full cashpot or from a board which flies to the top. If you get an MS that you didn't really have to work for, but cost you say £45/£50 - then there'll be nothing on the horizon but a loss.

It's one of those games that makes you wanna see the next board but which will happily kill you going higher than a 2 going from £1.60 to £2.

Oddly there're two of these bastards on East Croydon station.

Decent machine

It has replaced a Hi/Lo silver here. So far not offended by it, quite like the SFX. Had double darts and on 50p double value, so got to £35 in no time.
I've got a few ideas on stuff, but still very much learning on this one.

dunno whether its all that worth learning, the star wars series is the one that crest are concentrating on at the moment, the darts ones are being phased out, which is no big worry anyhow as they weren't great.

Pity, as I think the ealier games in the darts series were pretty good. Not had the (mis)fortune to see any of the newer ones, but by the sound of it, they're not all that.
