Fruit Machine Chat

nice looking machine but has never really expanded from a low base.

One of the reasons is the screen interface is totally shite, non responsive and often misaligned so that pressing a becomes b etc. I phoned my contact at Fat Spanner who said they were only the game manufacturers not the builder of the units and advised I should contact Barcrest.

Contacted them (Barcrest)and they said they were not allowed to talk to 'players'
Dickwits you give them free advice and they wont listen, however they will listen to a pub landlord who is unlikely (unless Dave) to be bothered enough to phone them.

The game that is most affected by Barcrest's shit screen is WordSoup although there are others. Anyone else experienced this.

Games Warehouse make hopeless games but at least they are amenable as are Fat Spanner.

Normally fine but I find these are very susceptible to getting ruined due to even a small drop of beer. I'll know...I was on it and someone shook me about as a scare...Didn't know I had a pint in hand and got a bit over the screen. The configuration moved about 3cm right after that.

I honestly dont have this problem with my Hotwire.

But I do re-calibrate every Monday morning.

I won £5 on that Channel Four Pub Quiz game on an Open the other day - it wasn't even the JP (which was £ , and I hadn't played well. Even so, it reverted to £1JP mode the very next go - very tight, escpailly for a £1 game, and an example of how Opens have gone downhill nowadays.
