Oversight?

Post by ma71lda »

Went into my local arcade and they had a brand new Yabba Dabba Darts set to £5jp/10p spin. When you have arrow shots single/double/treble it still pays x10p, like a £25jp. Is this going to be very easy to empty or will it be a case of £3/4 for a board, unless you're me and it will take £10 a board. :)

Joking aside, its actually a decent independant arcade with a few £500 including Rainbow Riches, bar x's, banana style m/c's, 3 £25jps :? , but it has 10 £5jps including a Golden Dragon, Gridrunner, Spiker the Biker, Pie Factory and a Spin On It to name a few.

I haven't played a £5jp darts machine, but i'm guessing it will just kill you off quicker and only give you a couple of throws??

Aye suppose, but if you're on trebles anything over 14 instantly gives you cashpot jp, therefore no doubt you would see alot of treble 1, 2 and 3's!

Got a £5 yabba here - as others have said, you hardly ever see anything more than treble 6/7. When it's not in the mood it'll take £4-£6 for a £1 board. Crap really. Good for reel KO practice though!

yeah, theres tonnes of £5 machines that dont bother changing the value of low features etc, some you can get £4-5 from second feature up, board just wont return for minimum £4.

On a 10p/£5 Vamp, I managed a £7 MS (not the top VIU streak) somehow. It was definitely a £5 JP as a few quid later I got another board which let me nudge in JP for £5 - no repeat.
