Mr McStreak
Those Money to Burns were just awesome games on £1000 jp. I remember milking one for money multipliers after someone did around £5-600 through it, and I didn't have enough to take it on. I was £70 or so up on it when it spun in 4 coins, for superboard, and sent me straight up to £500, with reelskill lit....mouse75 wrote:About 10 years ago - in casino with about £20 after my boss failed to show for his leaving do. £6 in £1000 money to burn (playing for 4th feature) - get a board and here a strange whining sound. About two weeks before this a casino regular told me that meant it was a Jackpot. Pissed as a fart and thought i must have imagined it. Play the board and nudge in 3 bells, think about collecting the tenner - but what the hell it's only another two nudges for a grand. Press start, press start, press start....question mark - oh well, never mind............skillstop!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I kid you not, i was INSTANTLY stone cold sober. Hit two nudges, and nudge in the 4th bell.............and the machine sits there, reading across the alphameric display........£1000 collect or continue!! Continue for what exactly!!!!!!
I was only in there twenty mins......... happy days.
Next best was before the £500 cap on bookies machines - £10 in some peice of garbage in Corals - 2nd spin £900 (Jackpot was £6000).
Although these fall into insignificance compared to winning a £30 buy in decent poker tournament. Thats a real buzz.
Nothing like a bit of pressure...
The jackpot tune blared out at around 1000 decibels, as it did on most BFM club machines of that genre.
If that wasn't great enough the Costa del Cash next to it gave someone a slide, which they took. I was amazed as it had only dropped 2 days before, but gladly took it on again. Some casinos had a fantastic selection of machines, and it really was easy money back then.
If you could stay off the tables.
Wowser! Cyclic widgety surely on the CMTB. It's on the emulator. I tried to load it up just now and milk it, as I'm sure I did about £3-400 in it, got bored and nudged in the jackpot off test. I wanted to go back and milk it ala MM, but all I could find was Showtime Spectacular. First quid, on the board £1.20 Cash buster start, flying up, blatantly ready. £8!!!! No repeat. Then next credit back on, pink box, jackpot. Sweet! Get in!
I thought Costa Del Cashes were nightmares to play. Shows how much I knew about clubbers. All the proper top boys were playing them though weren't they? Fair play for knowing your onions. 100k off superholds on Aye Jays, whilst we were getting excited about numbers and Nemesis on Rollercoasters.

Ah, this is a good topic, here's a few of my favourite moments: 
1. Friday lunchtime in a reasonably busy 'gastro pub', playing a Snailblazer that I'd seen some exec. types put about £60 through. I only had a fiver on me as couldn't procure funds until later that evening. I still had almost a full pint left and could go and waste a few hours elsewhere if I did run out of spondlies. I managed 2 boards out of the fiver. First one riddled me off on a 10. 2nd board 'arb1', which I managed to convert to 'ar' and it did a £75. Sweet. Leisurely enjoyed the rest of the day doing a bit here and doing a bit there.
2. Me and a chum (in the same pub as above actually, but a good 6-7 years previous) out one evening and going 'pound-a-piece' in a Maygay 'Bank Raid'. First board gave the three gold bars in one pop and we wiped out all the top notes for a cool £100! I recall that my mate was on the phone to his missus who was nagging him about being out supping and spinning and when we got the first £25 he just winked knowingly at me. The 2nd £25 he told his missus to 'hang on a minute'! The 3rd £25 and we both punched the air! The 4th £25 he dropped his phone in his pint! (Accidently, of course, but funny as feckery!) It still worked as well after that, as it was one of those old BT 'bricks' that you could send a text from and turn it off at the right time and it wouldn't deduct your credit. Heh-heh!
3. Motorway Madness - first credit 'LES' on Bells for a £10 jackpot when I was about 18 (nearly 11 years ago) was very pleasant and bought me and a chum a few Strongbows, which with each, you got a free scratchcard for another free pint. I worked in a pub at the time that also did this deal and we'd snaffled a good few cards away that we'd scratched off previously and 'replaced' them with the one they gave us. Even when they began to suspect something, we rubbed one off (oo-er!!!) in front of them and that was a winner too. Heh-heh!
4. The first machine I ever played, Ace's 'Cash Bowl'. I worked out that 1-2-3 on JP-Grape-Plum (possibly JP-Plum-Grape) would always give you 5 nudges for JP. This was in the pub that I worked in and would often make a good £20 an evening from it - particularly on Sunday evenings, which was Karaoke night. Ah, those were the days, when with a pound or two I could so frequently get JP. Now you need a hundred pounds or two just to be 'almost' sure of getting one.
5. I think the most satisfying wins are quite often after long battles, particularly on Reds, when you're say £50/£60 in and you see that "!!!WINNER!!!" on the LCD after the top has already gone for £70.
I know a few of those are 'general' wins and not specific cases, but there's far too many to recall. Heh-heh!

"And do you ever contradict yourself, Minister?" "Well, yes and no..."
My mate had a dodgy phone years ago, unlimited free phone calls he had for ages, then one day his pal asked to borrow it and decided too ring 192 for a number and they somehow put a block on it, he was'nt pleased, i'm sure we called the phone a basher or something like that?
As for a nice win???? far to many to recall, one that sticks out off the top of my head, walked out Zanzi bar in Leics after a right skinful and walking to the pizza place for some scran, try a quid in a Revolution why i'm waiting, got red run around, first challenge is to look for a jp symbol to nudge in the window, drunkenly get my face to the screen and do my best with my one open eye to see which reel to nudge, then when i get it in position i see most of the lights are out so have to do it off the sound, not easy seeing how drunk i was, managed to hit it and it repeated, sweeeet.

I'm sure it is....danthedude66 wrote:not too long back
£10 in rainbow riches
3 leprachauns for £!50
2 spins later gold pot £500
video is on you tube if you wanna see it
I saw one where someone got 5 leprEchauns, and the onlookers reeled away in disgust when it went for 60 pounds. Fucking awful really considering the expectation has got to be £150+ MINIMUM.....
Then again they are sick machines, and I truly sympathise with anyone who is addicted to them. After a days work I will usually stick the spare £1-9 in one, after halving the wages up with my friend. The last time this happened we got 4 wells for £50. I was happy with my share, and bailed otu. My accomplice decided to carry on, and literally the VERY NEXT SPIN the rainbows came in.
There was nothing more certain than the gold pot landing, and it did! I felt sick, but was pleased for my mate, as he does punt them alot, and deserved his slice of good fortune.
He chucked me £100 out of sympathy, but I turned it down. He did insist I took it though, so I thought fuck it, why not......
When I got home I found £3 in my left pocket with the shrapnel, the coins that wouldn't go in the machine I was playing at the time, so if I'd remembered to put them with the float I would have still been halves when the pots came in. AAAAARRRRGGGHH!

I knew you'd mention good ol' Motorway Madness!! I had a lovely sequence of five consecutive IM boards on it once ... on £10 JP. Something you just don't see nowadays.Matt Vinyl wrote:3. Motorway Madness - first credit 'LES' on Bells for a £10 jackpot when I was about 18 (nearly 11 years ago)
This machine may at times offer a choice where the player has every chance of bankruptcy
