That's fair enough, though £500 might be a bit much - I've decided that I'm not gonna take anything on with less than £300 in £1/£70 land.

The thing that interests me is that people (in my view) are more likely to play with notes on the £1 stake. So if I find one full at 10pm when I've had a few, in a well-played pub, I'm likely to get a bit too excited and take something on when I haven't quite got my ideal float with me, and come a cropper ...

The moral of this story: Discipline will still be as important as ever.

£1/£70 land?
Why are you all talking like we're moving to some new crazy dimension/theme park?!

U'd have to laugh if some random punter was reading this. Talk of going to a £70er "armed" with knocking on £500. He'd think we were mad! And thinking about it so would I.

But my main question is still the recycle period. I think this needs a bit of homework doing.

For example get yourself a £140 and this sit and see how it plays for a random afterwards. Well invested time I'd imagine.

Do u think they'd recycle as quickly as £35ers bearing in mind how much of a cunt they can be after they'd just been done? Might well do. Say u get a £140 it may well reel that money back really quickly by expensive / dead boards. If so then that would be good.

But my thinking is still these are going to be amazing or crippling. Add that to the fact that you normal punter really might just stop playing etc for die hard ones / people with more money than sense...

yeah just imagine going into spoons £70 Indy!! get skill off a few ££ and it repeats for £140!!

WTF that is a sick profit for one machine!!! I think this new playing is going to be amazing!!!

£25 to £35 has made it so that we make alot more money!! why would £70s be any different!!

T0 be fair im gonna laugh at mug punters plaughing on the force and going skint alot quicker and leaving it ready!!

hate the £35s when you sit there waiting and someone gets it off there last £5 and it gives £70 etc

Don't most of you guys think though, that to counter for all the (for want of a better word) lax programming there's been recently that they are going to have these new machines as tight as, in the words of Albert Steptoe, 'a Gnat's Chuff'?

Think someone else mentioned it, that now £70 is on offer (with the potential for however many repeats, also) they are NOT going to let testing go lightly.

I think that you (the full-time player(s)) are in for a rough time. Will be happy to be proved wrong of course, but I guess only time will tell...

good points Matt.just a few days away now but i would'nt be rushing out for doors on the 12th ,i think these new machines will want to gorge themselves silly on muggy money before any 210 tops are reported.it sure as hell won't be like it used to be with brand new machines submitting cheap jackpots and streaks from the off.

Matt Vinyl · Post by **Matt Vinyl** » Mon Jun 08, 2009 11:32 am

Indeed.

This point is interesting though:

it sure as hell won't be like it used to be with brand new machines submitting cheap jackpots and streaks from the off.

I wonder if they 'might' kick them off with this sort of profile, that'll last a week or two before then turning the screw. The classic 'lure you in with a few nice wins' and you're trapped. To be honest though, I guess that's more of an 'addict' view of things and if there is money to be made early on, we can snaffle it all up and realise the minute things have been tweaked...

Not the old "90+ % payouts for the first week" scenario then.

Exactly that, H...

bent programmers and all that!! do NOT fear I am not getting a job for the next 3 years at least anyway!! Playing will soldier it

Lugsy got to admit I disagree....

I think these will be flying from the off. What choice do they have?
Remember this is a BIG jump.

I really thought it would be £50 next so I reckon they don't have a choice other than to make them play sweet for at least a month or 2 which is when money can be made.

If you put average Jo off u put us off (as machines will be flat) so absolutely nobody wins.

The horror stories will come out in a few months for sure when we see the "true" state of these machines but for now I'm happy 2 throw money at them and see what happens (unless dead obviously).
