Bookmakers £1 play £500 Jackpot discussion

Fruit machines tend to still be in some major bookies in local villages and catchment areas. Don't see any in towns and cities.

[barneybear]

Got a WIYB in my local BETFRED, only one though in our tiny village which is full of bandits!

[bowie]

Ladbrokes up here still have them.

[danthedude66]

you should still find fruits in Betfreds and local shops i.e for local people i.e not a big chain.

As for corals Big Bucks i find it ok to play for a quick score.

have also had 500 off 7s to burn and 250 off joker poker

that big bucks game is frankly terrible, although the gamble does seem somewhat progressive...

7's to burn never seen anything big you must have been amazingly lucky...

joker poker needs more play before I reach a conclusion :P

Normally if in the bookies i would put £20 in these machines. Now after afew visits my biggest win would be afew quid. I have never ever seen anyone win more the £60 on these machines - god luck to anyone that does.

Ive learnt my lesson though on them i dont touch them now - i prefer to use the arcades if i want to go on the £500 machines

Had the 'mixed 7s' within a fiver on that! the only five spins I've ever had on it. I thought big bucks was ok, big bucks feature seemed ultra generous, but I prob got lucky with that..

I won about £120 in an Ansell's yesterday after my footy bets, I only played blackjack, 10 a hand, 3 boxes, took me about 10 minutes and i just walked. Have put much more than 120 into a machine before, bet they can pay big, i think it just depends what games you are playing...

[theoak]

anyone ever had the 5 kings for LESS than £500?

[jimbo111]

does anyone seriously believe these machines are random??? they advertise a payout of 94.6% how can something thats random generate a payout like this? i am a regular idiot who plays these machines and today i have never ever in all my years playing them seen such an incredible streak..my usual numbers i play £2 each on are 21,24, my normal routine is to start off at 60p on each moving up to a max of £2 and ive seen me down about £200 before i hoit but normally its less than £50..so today unfortunately had some cash to buy a new car over £2k in readies thought play a cpl hundred no big deal if i losse...started off £1 on both and £2 on black..£4 staked..the reason i went fo rblack there was 13 out of 14 reds previously...first 10 spins 8 reds 2 blacks no show 21,24. decided stupidly to up it a bit £3 on each plus £3 on black and another £4 scatted on numbers either side of my fav numbers..so total £10 staked..another 10 spins ...9 reds 1 black..21,24,no show nor any of my other numbers.s ohere i a £140 down in what 15 mins..this cant continue surel;y...£4 21,24 forget the money on the evens shot the colour played £1 on another 6 numbers..cant lose surely...10 about £200 later still no wins on any number.so in 25 mins im down £340..idiotically decided to go for gold £50 a spin covering 20 numbers and had £5 on 21,24...£500 later i had 6x £36 returns on single number wins...all back..im now £840 down and lost the plot completely...£100 a spin £12 on 21,24, several returns of £36 and a few of £72 none more and the remaining £1200 went in just under 30 minutes...£2k lost in one hour just less.over 100 spins 21,24 never came once..by the end i had upto £5 on a load of numbers and several times whilst having 25 numbers covered 1 of the remaining 11 came every second spin to the point it became ludicrouly obvious how unfai this game is...
my conclusiojn im an idiot yes totally agree..but does this really equate to a fair game????

[theoak]

youre gonna open up that whole debate again.

Bottom line; rigged or not it's a mugs game and nearly all of us are guilty. If you are one of the 'believers' that it is rigged, that makes you even MORE of a mug for putting even £1 in it.

[jimbo111]

i totally agree with you i am a mug..yes ..but the facts speak for themselves roulette is a volatile game but consistently these machines violate the law of averages..u can play roulette 24/7 and for a year and never see the for example the same number come up 5times in 7-8 spins i gurantee u..this is normal occurence..15-20 reds in a row youll never see it...bet on all low numbers high numbers will come up...its my opinion these games are randomised only if the machines well in credit....

[ma71lda]

No offence, but if you're goona gamble with £2k in your back pocket, get your arse down the casino mate. None of this randomised bullshit, 20 reds on the trot, covering 35 numbers and seeing it land on the odd one.

Nah mate not for me, feel sorry for your loss, and its not very often I sympathise with a gambler.

[JG]

Sympathies, but they're rigged ok? We know this for sure, we don't need any smarmy bullshit about Price Waterhouse Coopers. It's fixed as fuck. They work from a random number, but the bottom line is THEY DON'T BEHAVE THE SAME WAY from the SAME NUMBER all the time. IN effect, it's a licence to be a s34 AWP as we know it.
