Not sure, it's done in the mornings and i usually work nights, plus i'm not on the bar, i'm a chef. More than likely a Monday or Tuesday though.

Passed by today, well actually i went for a mickey dees and popped in for a " pint ".Machine was getting played but i got a wee look at it.Looks like a new idea from the cresters, which is nice.

Eventually got on it and it was £72 light,so i gave it all my spare 5p pieces !

Shall be back again though.

Finally got something decent out of this tonight, it's being really tight now, 18 quid in, 10 off a random red feature, then Mega Streak red off my last credit, only went for 25 though. Still 17 quid up with a minute to go for my bus. :D

We played on one when we went to ATEI. It's in a pub by Liverpool St station.

Some bugger had popped the start button, so when we got a board it just took forever. Managed to get £4 off it. Might have pushed it if that button worked a bit better! :x

The bonus board consists of,
Super Mode, Extra Life, Shuffle, Arrow Advance, Multi-add.

The rest of the squares are your normal, add features/feature ko's, add cash/ko's, nudges.

The graphics arent as 'chunky' as most barcrests. looks more like an extreme!

Damn it ! I was planning a trip to Edinburgh this evening via Queens Crossing !

Still will go but was looking forward to playing it again.Only really had one proper session on it, other times ive been in its been a bit low on coins.

I wonder if Barcrest have recalled them all or is it just been replaced as normal.

Saying that Piggy Bank sounds like a new test machine too,Aint heard of this which could mean Bowies work is a new test site .

Bowie, where is the next Brewers fair type gaff nearest you ? Megabowl over the bridge ? Just wondered if they had just shifted it their .

There's a quite big BF in Dunfermline next to the cinema just off the M90, had a search on these forums for 'Piggy Bank' and a few folk have seen it, only JJ's was removed and not JPTRAR so it might have been the recall, you can always check i suppose. Bloody two machine changes that JPTRAR has survived, quite annoying.

No prizes for guessing whcih machine made the most money then !!

Its always the same.The worst machines always seem to make the most money in the cashbox hence why they last a bit longer on site.

If you know the manager well enough , why not ask him why it has gone ect ??

As for the Brewers at the mega bowl.Its well covered unfortunetly.

The bar manager was as surprised as me when the the guy came to change it, i try to dissuade people from playing it, but they just don't listen.
