OK, a summary,

Barcrest have decided to release their sec 16/21 products into category B3, C and D.

Category B3- £500 jackpot- £1 per go % controlled
" " C - £35 jackpot - 50p per go % controlled
" " D- £5 jackpot - 10p per go % controlled

The machines will be close as they can be, all of the section 16 products are being converted except Max A Million which dissapears in September.

Elvis will only be TOP 20 on B3 it will become Smash Hits and 9 liner on £35 and £5. Rainbow Riches will adopt a Lucky Strike 50 line theme.

The progressive pots are being scrapped on all models. Also two extra machines Rocky Balbonus and WPT Jackpot Joker are being launched.

Even the Multiplayer Elvis can be converted. Hope this helps!

AWPs produced after sept 07 will have to adhere to new standards set out by the Gaming Board. Not sure exactly what these are yet. Models produced before this will not have to the changed, but we will have to keep records of what exactly we do with them.

Does this mean that somebody who has played fruities for years and a casual punter will have equal chances of winning on new crests (with the fair gaming policy)?

Should be interesting to see what the new machines are like (and if they have any major flaws).

nah...tbh from what I have seen you will not be able to tell the difference. The biggest change is that S16 has gone and has been replaced by B3's. The changes with AWPs are very subtle, oh expect Red Gaming Mega-Spins with the pre-stake gamble are no longer allowed (unless the machine was produced before Sept this year).

I heard repeats may be going out of the window, as will big tops (credits takes etc).

I just checked and repeats are still ok, Barcrest's latest machine - Funky Fruit Fever still has £35+REPEAT CHANCE and that will not be launched until October. How do you mean credit takes?

As in a big top. A golden game for eg, will give £25 up the top, if it takes a credit it will give another win. I heard that sort of thing may come to an end. No more big tops. If it did I guess it would be 3 invicibles in a row I guess

I noticed on Players Heaven a mention of 'game speeds'. Looks like the days of losing a tenner on a red Mega Spins in 30 seconds could be gone.

I remember a few months back when I was changing up in a Ladbrokes after I'd just raped OTB for £104, the bloke said something about fruities might be able to pay out in notes from September, is there any truth in this?

Don't get too excited. It just means minimum game time must be 1.5 seconds, average 2.5. Means forcing will take that bit longer!
