Exact clone of Jp Gems/OAR but in the shiny new cabinet. Piggy bank themed as you can guess. The "top" is different, it just spins around the safe cash amounts and lands on one, which I thoguht was a lot nicer than the stupidly quick "£25 shot, unlucky".
Forced on 50p spin and came off about £20 up, you either get the 1,9 or 12 nudge board. with Mega spin on 50p.

No its not, its the same as jp gems. on a roll, you cant gamble your safe win on this.
also one thing to note is that Red 7s are only £20 !!

From what I have seen I would say Piggy Bank is nore of a clone of Fun Nudgin Criminals.
Red sevens are £20 on both of these and the top feature seems to be the same.
There are a few more new reds just popped up near me as well called
Swip Swap (I think)
- It is kind of like slider but with a legal tender type top feature
King Rich (£35)
- Seems to be a clone of jackpot genie.

Nope, you're absolutely right.
I'd have to say that Fun Nudgin' Criminals and Jackpot Gems are almost identical games anyway, just with different layouts, and the safe cash wheel having a gamble option. They're just rolling out machines now with elements of other games mixed in.

Another new Red spotted this weekend: Zig Zag. Effectively a mixture of Snailblazer / Subzero / Jackpot Gems / On A Roll! The 1- 8 trail goes from left to right, then the nudge trail goes from left to right on a slant and then the cash trail goes t'other way on a slant up to the big money feature.
The features are 'blue' and 'red' a la Subzero. I only put £5 in and got offered 'blue' Big Deal, which I recall from SKR days was the top feature, and whacked it on the £25!
Is this a test machine or has it been around for a while? For some reason I remember the name being mentioned at least once before...

piggy bank/fnc are really just JP gems, which are really just rocket money and cobra and giza etc.etc.etc.... they are all the same - red have cloned cobra so many times now, just with tiny tweeks like mega spin/different safe cash trails.
Is there really any difference between the following ( cobra cabana plays differently so I'd say thats the only one ) IN PRINCIPLE - ie. not just silly additions like mega spin/different safe's.
Holy moley, JP Gems, On a Roll, Rocket money, Top giza, Cobra, Cobra cabana, Fun nudging criminals, Piggy bank
not that I'm complaining - the series has been very good.

I've not encountered the latter two, but would definitely agree there ob... They are a classic 'breed' of machines and are good to play. My personal favourite out of the list would be:
Top Giza: Was the original £75 topper that I enjoyed
On A Roll: The 50p Mega Spin £25jp combination makes this a real winner!

re: on a roll £25 50p - had a couple of bad results on these recently, ie. no streak from def. reds, not to mention mammouth board costs! Although if they are ready, you'll get it quickly I'll say that for it.
50p campers on the other hand seems a great conversion

True, I've played it five or six times and always had good results. Of course though, all machines can be gits if caught at the wrong time!
Rocket Money never really done it for me, I might add... Can't really put a finger on why though...

in my experience rocket money has been one of the best of the series - had loads of £75's - tbh we're all bound to have ones that we have luck on and ones we dont even if they were all exactly the same in terms of playability!!
