We had it lose in an arcade in Clacton so we left it thinking it had been chipped! It sat there for months until we tried again for some reason (I can't remember) and it turned out it was still unchipped!!

Mainly that Jack. On £25s, the step to 3 or 10 will lose if the machine is dead. It starts 1 cash and 1 feature.

The unchipped £15 version never 'went dead'.

You COULD empty Dragons if they were off their nuts with buzz starting with "sequence reels" but there was no actually empty method on it like Battle Axe, Revolution and Ultimo.

Ultimo was the only 1 you could empty on £25, all the others would die on the step to 2, 3, 10, 11 when it was "dead". You'd know from the long pause when you gambled that it was dead. Also, when dead the features would begin with 1 cash and 1 feature, never 2 of either or both because that meant it was alive (unless u started with a fruit win about £1 of course). The most important feature by far on Battle Axe/Ultimo/Revolution was nearest win, getting to know those reel setups. Obviously Locohold was vital too! It would have been so much easier to empty Ultimo if the + on 3 with feature was +2 not +1! Bastards!

It was brilliant seeing how mental Revolutions and Battle Axes went on £15 when played to perfection. Lovely runs on them too. I made £140 on a Golden Dragon in a pub - it was completely rammed with coins, sounded like there was £5000 in the bucket!

By the way, Master of Games was actually meant to be Master of The Game! I just pressed enter too quick - any chance I can change it!?!! Mods????

Your 'sequence reels' is what I used to call 'running reels'!

I remember once in a pub, where Dragon was full and starting on these reels. I played through about £25 worth of credits so that every bonus was offering 6+ steps. Took top feature, then jackpot not long after and was told to leave the machine! Still some value left in it aswell.

Back when Barcrest was king.

That day in that pub was hilarious! I got a top almost immediately gave about £40 then a super (invincible not just the buzz being super-ready) for £50 then another jackpot and a trigger for sequence. It was banked for £50 odd and no troubles with the pub, got the money the next time I went in... It was never THAT good again, gone the next time anyway!

Back to the original topic, they did indeed make the best games as old timers like me can remember (I'll be showing my age here), each way nudger, cash falls (not the later Maygay one), silver ghost, and all the later models mentioned by John32. Arcadia was a personal favourite. Anyway I digress JPM are still alive and well and no longer owned by SEGA. They have Classic Red Alert out there which I have mentioned before and I believe there is a Casino Crazy video version out there somewhere.
