go to page 10 post 95 - thats the fix.
also you need to extract it with winrar so i rebuilds the directory structure correctly,
Works a treat.

Funnily enough, I got two Jackpots within 50 quid - something that never happened when I punted them in the bingo hall. Typical.

Interesting way they set the thing up - seems like the executable is a virtual machine, inside which the fruit machine lives.

As above the ffdshow install fixed it for me ... much better than Jim :D

I managed a JP off £30 quid of credits from 5 reelkings although all the rest of play has been shitty wins and 1 reelking at best
