Thats extremely narrow minded. Cocaine is illegal and yet it still exists?

anyway, there was mention of illegal percentage chips on some bbc proggy if i remember rightly.

This machine is shocking, and that goes for its other clones like most daunting etc. Shit! Ive seen people put a 100 pound throught this and walk away without even a sign of a jackpot

although, you cant fit a chip <72 (71 if you tweak the dip switches) on more or less any machine thats in an operational state..
the boards reject the chips and it breaks everything

obviously you can get round it... but there arent many people who would know how to fit the chips even if they could buy them, they'd have to make the chips themselves and also find a way to fit them without the machine fucking up, way way out of the league of most people without an electrical enginering or computer programming degree

Spyder's right about this, on most **modern** machines it's very hard to do - although as for that im on Shipwrecked, dodgy lighting in bar or on machine, or beer gogles were active!

I once saw a Cops 'n Robbers (oldish one) keep taking over £10 for a board (£10 jackpot) and every board pretty much would boot you off double quick with nothing or 40p left after a fine. Apparently there was a faulyt with it which the engineer put down to a 'disconnected wire'. Hmmmmmm. Only hearsay but there you go. This was in an old Showboat. Also they used to have a Pot of Gold which could be properly full and take £100 for Gold level....

Shipwrecked is not bad as a machine. It has given me £75 off the Treasure Chest out of the blue. £4 board, £3 board - feck it one more board...grid run to top right!! - £75.
