A few things.

Post by Fruitypoopy »

Hello. I am not here to ask you all of your secrets about fruit machines or how to make big bucks. I just want to know a few things, and if anyone would be kind enough to explain them too me I'd be most happy :)

Right...

1) Fruit machine keys, are they worth it do they work.
2) What does "Emptiers" mean.
3) What are the best machines to play?
4) Anyone know anything about the "TombRaiders" Machine.
5) I have lost a ton of money in a red gaming machine called "Invaders" Should I avoid all these machines?
6) Now, I know I said I wouldn't ask you all your secrets, but how do you start off knowing your way around fruit machines.
7) How do you know if a machine is chipped or not?

Bearing in mind I am a total noob to this and I just would like to though those few things. Also, there is alot of fruit machine jargon here I don't understand. Some of the words the users use I just don't understand. If anyone would like to take there time to answer me my questions I'd be most greatful. Thank you in advance.

:wink:

Hi,

In brief:

1/ Not really worth it as nearly everyone has a key now and most pubs etc. do very regular refills so the balance isn't particularly accurate

2/An emptier is a way of manipulating a machine (usually using a flaw in the programme) in order to win over percentage and therefore 'empty' the machine

3/Not really an answerable question, depends how much you want to risk. Bellfruits/GamesMedia etc are good for 'a quick board' in a pub but may require a huge investment to see anything better than £5. Reds etc can take more money more quickly but you can get bigger wins. Just don't play Party Times in arcades!

4/Yep, it's rubbish!

5/Not necessarily, the one you've lost on may be getting done and/or be on a low percentage.

6/By losing loads and learning about certain machines / learning by your mistakes

7/As a rule of thumb it's safe to assume pretty much everything you read about on here will be chipped by now.

Not a huge amount of info there but I'm sure others will elaborate as they see fit

Not worth the hassle of being seen and maybe ejected.

2) What does "Emptiers" mean.

See post above

3) What are the best machines to play?

All m/cs are ok at the right time, you just need to learn the signs. As a rule of thumb, avoid BFM's and reds that aint offering a board within £10. Older Barcrests are the easiest to read i.e Bully for You, Yabba, Space Invaders.

4) Anyone know anything about the "TombRaiders" Machine.

Is this the one where you can just hi lo the dice to get to the end?It's shit. Don]

Hope it helps.I am afraid you will get very little for free in this industry.Teh people at the top of the food chain make too much money.And it is as bent as hell.

NO! It's a good machine. When you've played it long enough you'll understand the reels and be able to detect when it's going your way.

This, and other Red Gaming machines like it, are excellent examples of machines which are possible to make a sound judgement of 'levels of happiness' when you start playing them. Invaders is a clone of Aftershock. Upon which Rampage, Quake, Nitro, Red X, X-Rated, Life's a Beach, Grub-a-Dub-Dub and many more games are based.

Play these sort of games when full and trust me, you'll enjoy them. If you learn the 'bad signs', you'll realise when and when not to play them.

That's a shame. They didn't mass-release Invaders in the first place, so losing one is a bad thing :(
