getting about 7 repeats on a £5 PCB back in the days when you're young and £40 actually meant a hell of a lot.

I used to have a 2p, £2 jackpot machine called miracles that used to pay random pound coins out within the 10p's, it averaged out to about 4 pound+ a jackpot back in the day.

Probably when I was 15 on a fat boy spin. £2 in, on the exchange the cash pot filled up to £25 and repeated twice. :P

I used to stick the skittles up years back in my local, they had a 4.80 tokens spotlight. It went mad off my loose change. Landlord bollocked me for being on it.

Also in Tenerife I had the fruit in the hotel roll for 4000 pesetas. I was about 10, and drew plenty of attention. A fruit swap did 5 jp's on a local campsite. My mother thought i'd been robbing.

10p worth of pennies,about 8yrs old lol.found an old bodymatch thing in the arcade at pontins pakefield ,the reels were vertical and it gave wins for the top and middle matched up right ,second or third go i got the top 2 sections of an old cleaner lady for 2p win .the top 2 reels then stuck and stayed stuck while i recycled all the way up to 68p lol. they then freed themselves,only once did the bottom section come in for the 6p win :x

10 years and lots of tears later,the stars in the sky had realigned themselves again for me. i found myself on a £3 lineup, and amazingly it dropped the 3 bars for jp straight in.now a £1 win on this was a rarety and to this day i've never heard of anyone else achieving the jpt from a roll in.AFAIK you could only get a hold on this if you had'nt exchanged the fruit win for nudges(and that was a pretty muggy thing to do as the exchanged win would always be equal or greater) so i was more than a little surprised when feature held light came on followed by blip,blip,blip.......... 6 times! for 21 quid of shiny gold 10p tokens

more tales from the annals of times past to be drip fed in the future

It was fairly recent but I still fondly remember the board that gave me my first £250 JP on a clubber (Thunderbirds), especially the moment it dawns on you that you've got enough knockouts to climb out the winspins and you had no idea it was about to offer it. Sweet.

I watched a friend clock up about £33 on an Orlando Magic once.
My favourite wins?

Well I'll cite that first ever same same any I had for 4p on God knows what machine near a swimming baths in Warwick. All from a 10p found in a locker. Who says favourite wins have to be BIG wins?

My first ever all cash £10 jackpot was a Viva Espagne. It was from nudge spinner or money spinner. £6 tokens rolling in on an original Cluedo. A super jester rolling in jackpot and only having £1.20 of tokens in the tubes.
A Copper Pot rolling in Aarons and jackpots for about £4-5 of profit (later squiddled away). My first ever £15 jackpot was on a Maygay called 'reel crazy' it was a bizarre affair with a board on a 3*3 strip that advanced. Then pinball Wizard, sure I had a red on that shortly after.
My first ever £25 jackpot was on an It's Showtime, nudges to red sevens on a 1, top for £55. Aardvark. Sweet. Pity a Carry on BS took £19 for a board. My first ever £35 jackpot was.........who cares?.......it gets less magical, more of a daily grind. Probably a winstopper I'd say. No, yes, hold on. Bet it was actually, probably Feb '07 a winstopper from DOND game I bet.
Going back, an Albert square repeating those double bars, a cannonball run on Popeye. A streak on an Instant Win for £30. A Nemesis. A robot paying jackpot. Enough already. Screen Play Knight Time. Two repeats. More generous than Eastenders.

I didn't just write all that. I'm not obsessed.
