Very true Stevie, haha. That does look a very interesting machine, c'mon the Barcrest! Maybe a new team of developers

:

How long has Jackpotty been on test? I'm yet to see one, saying that I only came across my 1st CIOLI a few weeks ago and I've only ever seen one Coppa Loada This (which considering its feedback I'm still in good profit).

Do distributors dish out machines to certain parts of the country more so than others? Or is it just pot luck, the bearded variety excluded.

i hate to p*ss on everyones respective bonfires but if you look closely its a straight clone of monopoly R2R. Inventive thinking. . . bollocks.

Your eyesight (and knowledge

) is much better than mine!

If I was to walk past a pub and get a glimpse, see the logo and style of the m/c, I'd immediately think Barmy Army. Do the features 'stack', cause there's a fair few there, or is it ARB such as Gold Strike?

We will see.

Just had another look and I have seen the gamble strip. Press gamble, land on ?, die. Simple as.

Yeah but remember this guys, Psycho Cash Beast 2 has passed test and if you look at other threads, we are a liking this piece!

Have they waved the old Barcrest magic and done the same on Rob Da Bank?

Let's get some feedback on the play, before we make judgement!

There's a very good reason why Rob Da Bank is a clone of Mazooma's R2R, and MMM. To put it simply, if somebody left mazooma and went to work at barcrest - would they think up something new? Or just keep going with designs and profiles that already work?

Personally, i think Rob Da Bank is woeful. Don't get me wrong - i had 12 features off £10- it was feature happy. But it was just stupid - cos the moment i collected anything, it died on its arse.

Also, the mystery gamble on these style machines are nothing short of immoral. Out of 12 or so available outcomes, the ? outcome in the middle must come in 9 times out of 10. Now, we all know machines aren't fair, but thats bordering on the ridiculous!

However, R2R worked (prob because it had Monopoly plastered all over it). But if the public want machines like RDB, then i'm even less likely to play fruit machines from now on than i was when the last bell fruit machine i played thought it would be hilarious to allow me to put £50 through it, for a measely 6 features, all of which either killed me on the second or third spin. Those game designers and testers must me real fun on a night out

Maybe someone will do something that feels fun and fair to play. Then again, would anyone actually play it if they did! Maybe people like having their arms ripped off

£1 play, £50 jackpot anyone....

It's not quite. Looks like a cross between R2R and Barmy Army.

YoungKai · Post by **YoungKai** » Mon Apr 07, 2008 5:15 pm

to be fair, i only played a tenner through it but it played exactly like R2R. haveing said that i'm sure i'll end up going for it at some poing this week as the pub its in is populated by mugs

As alluded to earlier, this machine can appear really active, sticking you on the board literally every two or three credits.. as soon as you collect something, however, it dies on its arse. I've given up on it for the moment.
