Bell Fruits

Will someone please explain to me why bell fruit machines are so terrible? Personally i prefer them to any other manufacture as they're the most fun and enjoyable machine to play. Love machines like monopoly, pony express, golden balls, take the piece. And saturday night takeaway is my fave bandit of all time although it ain't in circulation anymore. They feel alot safer than the hi/low machines which i cannot stand. Anyway just thought i'd ask the question. Newbie i know.

a) 80% of boards are blocked at £3

b) You generally can't force them to streak (which you can do with any other manu)

c) They block at £10 for fun, and have anti force profiles

d) They're boring as feck.

It's probably why no-one wins anything decent on them. All that money they spend on licensing is recouped from tight as ducks arse gameplay!

Fair enough can't really argue with that. What do you think are the easiest manufactures to win on then? You reckon red? And any machines in particular?

Easiest are Barcrest, simply because they are the most obvious. Because of this you'll find less ready ones, but you can't usually go far wrong with them.

Reds are best for the money making. Newbies don't have a clue how to play them, and they streak much better and more often than other machines.

Extremes can be good for money providing nobody else is doing them on your patch. I can usually hit my Bling & Queen 3 times a week, and make £10-£15 guaranteed each time, sometimes more if its generous.

Look out for:

Barcrest - Raiders/Wobbler
Reds - Crazy Cash Point/Life's a Beach

Probably the top 4 of recent times if you ask me.

not a big fan of LAB much prefer the JP gems and CCP etc, but soon as its redding its a minimum of £50 streak

If they took away the collect on a ? they would probably be much better. Every board is a winner, even if it's only a couple of quid.

LAB is way better than JP gems imo
JP gems rarely do nice big tops in one go, mostly staggered £25 then £20 later £25 etc etc

CCP/LAB the best 2 reds
Lucky Devil the best of that type (if you know what i mean)
And yes Raiders /Wobblers the best Crests

JP gems is much much worse than LAB, like it or not, the profile of the machine is to do £25 £25 staggered streaks - it does this 75%+ of the time, where LAB does much better streaks

CCP/lab/gadd yes agreed best, and agreed also on wobbler/lucky devil, never a huge fan of raiders tbh, but yes its a safe enough small profiter...
