lol I think the point you're trying to make matt is that it is rather harsh programming to continuously show jp's on the 4th and 5th reel, and do patterns of jp's that show "near miss big wins" all the time..... I AGREE THIS IS HARSH!!!!

Doesn't mean they aren't random tho in MONEY payouts

erm... they are?!??! Random £500's are terrible, whatever particular machine it is, if you're going to gamble in these bookies at least play bj which has a payout of 99% rather than 94%/92%.

uh-huh. I wouldn't be mentioning they were worth a look unless I was seeing some kind of consistent return. Willy Hills aren't random according to the front of the machine, at least around my area. Ladbrokes are. Either way, I've been playing 4-5 terminals in different bookies every day for a while since they did something different, for about 3 weeks, and have yet to catch a loss. I've not invested over £150 either.
Admittedly I could be the luckiest guy on earth, but bookies FOBTS are usually awful, so I think there is a chance that they are either making them momentarily more generous to attract more players (spot the high profile rainbow riches advertisements everywhere) or that playing them like I do returns profits (smaller chance). Either way, it's worth a closer look, given my no-loss record and the amount of terminals i'm hitting.

Once had 20 winning roulette days out of 21. Needless to say day 22 wasn't too successful.

William hills ones are also random (exception is joker poker), THEY ARE ALL RANDOM!!!! Look at the help menu on the crest games and it states on the text "THIS MACHINE IS RANDOM". The slotto games come up with that in big capital letters when you load the machine. Any machine that is random has no method of playing, it is purely luck based. Personally I have seen many play the hills slots, and most have lost... YES YOU HAVE JUST BEEN LUCKY!!!!

Doesn't it just pick one of say a thousand animations (randomly). That's why you see patterns.

It could pick from "animations", but I think not, on these grounds... had a reel king once a long while back give a £20 win on the reels but whilst counting it up it crashed... anyhow they turn it on/off and up comes the reels spinning to nothing but bringing in the 1 reel king and a £20 win off that.... it's picked a number that corresponds to £20, and can show it in any way it wants....

Exceptionally lucky. The gamble IS NOT progressive, you can't 'force' these out. There's no 'hidden value' in the gamble. It's not about 'signs' or 'clues' as there aren't any. As Ob states this game is random.

It's essentially a 50/50 gamble, I know it can be more or less by player choice, but there's no reason for any 'saved lost wins bank' or other such compensatory malarky. A simple, genuinely random factor, at the odds shown, will do the job sufficiently.

The machine will select its random number, display the result and if you want to gamble it and get lucky, great stuff.

These machines ARE random, you can't beat 'em in the long run.

That is unless you've noticed a glitch along the line of "When a harp drops in the very top right square, press it quickly three times and slowly three times, quick, slow, quick for a nice win!"

Without Ob I think we'd all be in some sort of insane paradise where every other pub had a p1 wiyb in it, Power 5s were always unchipped, Party Slottos were as progressive as Pie Factory and betting number 32 at 10:06 would always yield a win.

Without Ob, every Red would be Red, every jackpot a £105 top, every Games Media a ? first spin, every Golden Game there for bars, bars, whoops and Dennis from the first quid, as I mean it's not like that fat huffer mousse down Gala knows....oh she does. Even Dozy Doris will play with her huge bankroll until she gets a decentish win. Yeah she may leave the odd bloop, but Christ, Christ man. Where are you finding these games? Sorry I'm just bitter. Been on the HP sauce, travelled around like a muntling roamer, well actually did alright, got hammerred in stinky Gala again. Arcade was good, made up for it, everything was nice, even HP!

Battled with a refilled Monop. £170 cycled to see the i-cy. Decided to go for the bigger picture and to be fair it cost, but I got Roly Poly heads and the other. An £86 blap and a slightly 'okkard' run down that did frik me a £40 breaker, but disappeared to make me wonder if I should have taken a quick noooj. £255 in, if that nooj had been good I would have left it £225 light, but ended up only £205 light.

£50 down, then I did get £35 back on Union's Ecuador....dooo dod deeed doooo dooo got to love those credit breaks.....BELLLS......dooo doooo. So only £15, but then missed a useless tip for wells on Riches35, Cardinal knows the SP (remember that poker game) BLOOO BLOOOO (hold noise) resident shark nuisance tell everyone how to play the y'know....why???!???? information is value, shut the fuck up you stupid little toad. Army of grannies know it, wasted £40 on shit trying quids, to find out that the silver haired one knew the SP and would leave the main reflex dead.

Sometimes it's good though, coming back from ????????s wedding rehearsal, decided to pop in, yeah night session but made a 1'er on them. It's just the way, £95 down, but then made £180 in the very place I had been trying to avoid all day for variety. Might try again and cane a mystery wotsit tomorrow. Lovely caning a distant location and knowing you have your own cave to come back to.........Still got caned on home turf, actually made on distant location until HP in bookies tried another 'method guess' and got bruised, destroying a flukey reel King off a quid and a hey! hit Mega Streak on red football club on panther, only a £5!!! Petoo Wiper only had £11 on the hip hop. The boat came home in the end.
