barcrest... hero to zero

I was thinking this to myself earlier, not seen a £70 so far, but you know you'll get stuck in if its still ready, £200+ for a rechase perhaps if it wants to play up? there will be a few stories posted in the coming weeks no doubt.

Just had the chance of that situation
After £20 in on a £70 hi lo it gives red BB
So it gives £70 no repeat
Next board big bucks blue
Took it for £10 so £60 up
Pretty red too

But a combination of closing time within 20 mins and not having rechased or heard of good results doing so on a £70 I took it and ran

Like trayhop said somewhere maybe reds on a £70 no longer means 2 JP's

Hopefully the £70 tops will come cheap enough to still turn a profit, also if something is ready from the off and costs £80/£90/£100+ for a £70 top you would 'think' you would still be on for something, but who knows how there gonna play out?

Forgot about BB so perhaps theres your chance!Unless of course it"cant" repeat anymore.

Like i said, £70 isn't really flat on these!! It's just the same machine but with a £70 guaranteed top isn't it....just like getting £70 off a £35er really, they are still just as likely to go dead after. Had smash the cash do a 'flat' £70 saturday night and lifeless after. Of course if you get loads in and it just goes £70, then as per £35s it may still be there..... though until someone gets put in that position then we can't really say.

terminator 20 for red (first board went to £25 naturally), cost £80 for £70 flat then died off it.

Another £70 to get it back to red then another £20 to get it, £70 flat again then dead...

Included in this experience was a £43 board cost...

Bad times...

Wow £43 for a board not good
Seen one of these but it was dead
Looks like I had a lucky escape

Does look as though the £70 top is now your 2 jp's for reds in one go
Anyone had a £140 yet?

Thankfully, work commitments have kept me off the playing circuit since these £70ers have come about. I'm thinking more and more that even when I do get the chance (next week) - I don't think I'm going to bother!

If you've got reds then they are pretty much as they were.

I've had a £70 DOND dabble like some of the others on here, and they are disgusting really. DOND games are so tight with the high boxes (as you'd expect), at £1 a go you don't seem to get much extra incentive lolly, and they have the same stupid blocks as £35ers.

Looks like the industry has been given enough "rope" to hang itself, and is duly obliging.

It's simple poor product, overly expensive, no repeat business.

Will be nice to have the free time.

Me too - I've had a look round several towns after work yesterday and today and still not seen a £70 machine.

With Reds, it sounds from reports as though you're simply playing in an attempt to pot it before you've spent £70. Failing that, it's damage limitation.

I'm actually hoping to find a £70 Poker Face just to see whether Games Media can do something other than a flat top feature - as it sure as hell sounds as though Crests and Reds aren't gonna be much fun to play.

I hit a 70Jp on an indie off 30 quid in....5 quid later and next board hit SS so thought fuck it. Another 50 back in and it went for 110, so made a fair bit on it.

Incidently when i changed up at the bar they said that the fruit machines had been so busy in the past 2 days (since the 70jp machines had been sited - and there was 3 in total). The other 2 machines were both DOND but had BOTH dropped 140 ... !!!!

Incidently, have i missed something on HI/LO ? And Pms would be greatly appreciated as i still have a couple of them tucked away in good spots... Any tips greatly appreciated.

Played a pokerface the other day, £110 for £70... was annoyed it didn't carry on just to see if it did silly tops or had to do £140/210 - come on someone else must have played em...
