I did the power 5 once at alton towers hotel! Only once tho as I lived no where near, was there for my work's AGM. The bar staff shut the bar and buggered off at 12, but left the machines on. So I had a nice easy time doing it.
This reminds me of a funny moment. There was a games media clone (the army themed one) next to it when I was there. Some lad and his mate jumps on it while i'm on the power 5 and gets the "hot hot hot" board. He sees everything go red, thinks that its an IM and starts celebrating. When he died after a few spins the look on his face was priceless.
I gotta admit I did fall for the hot hot hot board when Money Magic / JJ was new back in late 2005. A while later, I found out that the IM was simply a flash.

It was usually a sign that jackpot was just around the corner so if you got it from just a few quid in it was worth a force and you would always make out on a few bob.
how about a greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray.
I remember a few people kicking off about getting all the features red on indiana jones only to be killed. People assumed it was jackpot but you had to hit the feature square again for the top.

The best memory was they put one on the 21st december in tunbridge wells spoons which was 30 seconds away from my flat, about 4 months after the chip came out. Unbelievably it worked. I did it first thing in the morning and last thing at night for 4 days solid, and gamestec and tim
martin paid for my Christmas! Good times.
If you did this for 4 days each morning and night and emptied it every time that means some dumb fucker had to fill the machine up 8 times in 4 days!!! Come on, something don't quite add up their does it mate??

you could empty them but took a while. And yes I did take the whole hopper contents lol :-)
I am only going off what he said to me in an earlier post. There is no way anyone in the right mind would keep filling a machine up like this whether you are the boss or a punter.

If you played them the way I said in a different thread, then yes, it would be believable, but we are talking about 4 consecutive days, twice a day, of someone emptying the entire contents of the hopper. This means either a player or manager would have to come and fill the machine back up twice a day after you leave without being the slightest bit concerned about why the machine is taking £20 a board to hit a straight game over, or why the hopper is empty when you filled it up not long ago! I am not having a pop here, I am just saying it doesn't sound right and shouldn't to others either.

I can assure it does/has happened, something like win stoppers were being emptied daily in spoons for a long while, if they keep filling it up it will keep on being emptied, fact, like said though, doubt it would happen now.
