The Good old days: JPM roll-ins...
Remember those fantastic moment when you knew you were gonna make a fortune when those jackpots would slowly roll in? Funny how machines like Arcadia, 5 Liner and the ones with one more gamble for a repeat would still resist though. I had a 5 Liner roll in 5 times once and lose the gamble every time. Obviously it went massive eventually and emptied itself. Even a repeat was a guaranteed mega profit in those days. Where did it all go wrong?
Reminds me of those disgusting £25 late-chip JPM machines like Do You Feel Lucky, where the Running Wild feature was blocked to fuck. Eventually the machine would be so due it would roll in the sevens with that delicious long spin, still lose on the gamble for the top, and then roll them back in again. Eventually you would get to the top for a 40 or something.
I remember playing a Caesar's Palace so ridiculously off it's face that it rolled the sevens in and repeated twice. You knew that you were going to take the lot out when that started happening.

Heh, a lot of people used to say never force a JPM - and generally that was correct. But they'd go so far over their target sometimes that the roll in would indeed happen. Had it on (from what I can remember!):
-Caesars' Palace
-Hot Shot
-Impulse
-Golden Goal
-Super Breakout
-Powerspin (I think!)

Yes the token BFMs particularly. They could be set to pay out a hig percentage of token prizes. That usually meant £12 into a Make-a-million for a slow roll in 7 7 7. On other BFMs they'd have the roll in streak. Never used to see wins roll in but when they did that spin, deliberately designed to look controlled, you were laughing.
As for JPMs rolling in jackpots, only seen it on the emulators or bizarre Whitbread chips of Up Pompeii or similar. Nah, maybe did see it a couple of times in real life, can't remember on what or where.

you have to put about 150 in a jpm without collecting a win and it will roll in the jp.
maybe on a cash one ,i dunno,but on a token one it was nowhere near that ammount.
on rollercoaster 8 pound tokens it was a bit of a downer when it rolled in ,your punter had left it numbering and sometimes giving roll ups and before you could get your waltzer or nemesis the bastard used to give you a ploppy slow spin for jp :x ,it was'nt even worth going for top on an 8 pounder rollercoaster as i never saw it repeat even once out of many hundreds,not off a big money jp either,and my one was on 86%
