Sounds pretty much like how Jackpoteers plays all the time, especially if someone is occasionally doing the knockbacks on it.

This aint a good machine mate. unless you have £100 in coins and a lot of patience.

Surely there is better machines to play in your area ?

ive done alright on this machine. Kind of reminds me of a red gaming machine in a way, When it doesn't want to pay it doesn't seem to want to pay anything. But when it does....................

Check percentage. Probabley 70%. Will tell you on switch on on LCD display. Don't believe the percentage displayed on machine at the top right corner.

I take it its a £25 version ? If so it can go through a dead patch for over £60+ worth of credits, chances are if its in a pub , its on 70%, if arcade then roughly 80% i suspect.

It doesnt display the percentage( when switched off/on) on the lcd unlike red machines.

If its a £15 version then it can go dead for a good while but its not too long in becoming happy again.

Seriously mate, if you have done well from this machine good on you, but its certainly not a machine for the faint hearted.

£15 jackpoteers were great in their time,
was 1 of my faves of all time.
The £25 version was dogpooh, but would
play 1 just for nostalgia, hoping not 2 lose
2 much, like harry13.50 says 'not for the faint hearted' :wink:
