Fruit Machine Chat

Ah, sorry, I'm talking about the Gamestech jobbies.

They really seem to be running these machines on a shoestring though. Look at the response you can get on a pretty basic PC nowadays - even with a touch-screen monitor. These just don't seem to be up to scratch thus far...

I visit Dartford probably twice a month and always find at least one profitable. The others I simply won't touch as they are all generally on £10.90 or some such cobblers.

And the VIU is STILL there in that crummy arcade. Heheh...

T'is indeed spaff...

Devil of a Deal: 3 in Dartford! lol

These digital units are tedious. The 'Menu' button is located just below the middle hold and I've pressed it numerous times accidently without looking. If you get a 'Hold Reel 2 for xxx" and accidently press the menu button, don't expect the game to remember it offered you that when you load it...

...But I hope they don't! ;0)

As for gambling, the tax regime is being changed significantly there too. A new Machine Games Duty for the gambling industry will come in, at a standard rate of 20%, with a lower rate for "low-prize" machines of 5% of net takings. The new gambling tax regime will also be altered to discou...

Just been chatting about this on Facebook. I wanted to pick up Mass Effect 3 at the weekend, but Game do not stock it (there's a few articles over the internet as to why). Hopefully Gamestation do? I have a £20 gift card that I better get shot of sharpish!

CEX for the win!

Any thoughts on what this may mean chaps and if it's relevant to 'us'? I would've thought it would've been worded as "Games Machine duty will be introduced", but...

Can't find any further details as yet...

1) Never tip the fitty with the huge baps. She gets tipped all the time, barely acknowledges your tip, and thinks you're just another perve who's only tipping her because she's fit (which you are!). I epically failed at the first hurdle then... ...Nah, she's a good friend now which is handy - advis...

Thumper - no idea mate. As I said though, probs just coincidence as the few times I've had it, the CP has relented shortly after. One thing I've never had is the 'CoB Will Be £1.20' and it then gives you the CP. Probably due to the fact that I would never really CoB if it has already told me that. D...

^This!! I recall tipping a staff member £30 one day during the Xmas period (Had rolled 3 out of the Alien in there and really wanted to keep it sweet!) That £30 was turned into many more results from that machine. (The fact she had stunning baps was not taken into account when considering this gestu...

Heh, almost forgot Skill Number existed - so rare to see. I 'think' it is skill, but there is one hell of a delay, as you say...

going all harold shipman with the plug socket Love it!! These are still one of the most frequently-spotted machines around here. Spoons still seem to have a love in with 'em as well as the smaller local-y pubs. Golds still seem 'easier' to prise out than BR2's. I'll nurse a pint for a bit and play ...
