BTBs I'd say 1 in 3 chance of repeating the £15, can repeat twice for 45.

well going back to the ITJ thread i played mine on Sat evening, Keyed it to find it £120 off which is a good sign as i've seen it way off at about £220, so anyway first few quid in a offer of £15 and a few good offers on the board so i'm thinking this is pretty ready i'll try for a force for MS or at least a flat £35 JP for a bit of profit........But OH no it plays very nicely for about £20 making me think i's going to pay and the DEAD!!! flat for £90 and gives me sweet F.A only to the annoyance of having no money left and a anoying chav type watching with eyes wide just waiting to pounce and rake all my profits.....I hate this machine now. Last time for me :x

Where's harrys head in hands fella?

You can't really force these....they have no streak profile as the value gets caned out of them with high boxes and COBs when not that ready. Take what you can when they are ready and get off it.

Yeah it was another lesson well learned.....again

thats the third time this machines took me for a ride and will defo be the last, problem is when they show good signs like offering wins past the £10 - £15 mark you sort of have an impulse to push on.......should realise it's just another poor Bell Fruit, oh well

Yes I have to admit I just don't get these at all. Whatever happenned to the purely cyclic 3*GATW?
To get a big streakyblooper, you have to whack about a 2'er over the back and then you get your £100+ in flashers.
I've had the odd stray HONK! HONK! HONK! three uncles or minis or whatever or phones for a flat £35 or a single breaker £43ish and that's that for yer freebies you know.

What really shocked me was a chocka blocka one in a chain arcade, presumably on 86%+ was there for uncles from the off. It seemed to be on the cusp with a couple of £15s at £40, suddenly it was as if it was £500 off, as it started doing max credits for board, roll in stag. uncles for £2 board, not just one stray, but did it loads of times on the trot.

Eventually I had the jackpot from £140 in and eventually it honked it out and I may have won a sparse few quid. They don't hold value in the same way as some Bell Fruits. A lot less cyclic. They may store up the odd few quid of value leading to a stray, but to get your big honker, it has to have been pumped and someone accepted a lottle return with a run of bad deals. Highly unlikely.

No longer can you think £140 in, honker for say £105 from all the honkers, oh that's free, I'm still owed a good 1'er, nice little earner. Nope you have to say some free value from the honker, after per chance, but play it by ear.

I had a freaky £20 deal and £16, yes £16, you read it right, £16 mixed streak, never seen a breaker mixed, but presume it was to give £16. All from a fiver. I ran, not wishing to test if it was still there.

I play them sometimes, pretty poor machine, but I'm like the BFK, I'll play any old shite sometimes.

A common occurance in my opinion is;

There for Uncles....

Shit box

Next board, uncles, shit box

Next board (£10 later) uncles, crap box, all decent amounts swiftly removed etc....

Next board, no uncles £2 block

Next board, another tenner later, and the buttons are being smacked rather then pressed.... no uncles, early ?, COB, £10-20 cash, or high feature.

A credit or two later, feature, Uncles for upwards of £20.

Strange.

Shit games......

Ha. I like the avatar. I still got them old fruit machine games for the Spectrum. One of them was called Cash Bash with 4 features including Skill Climb when you filled the letters.

Yes fruit machine Simulator 1 and 2 by codemasters were great on the c64.

The 1st version was the Cash Bash program. The 2nd version was a lot more complicated. They were great games in their time.

Yeah! those were the days when you had to make a brew to give the game time to load up with it's psychadelic tripped out flashing lines lol, i'm suprised they didn't come with an epilepsy warning or sommet!!

Whats' Uncles..... Mr Mc Streak ??? just curious

I know exactly what your saying i thought my machne had been bloody tampered with i've never seen it played so bad over the last couple of days since Sat's experience of £90 loss no ones one anything at all, i stuck another £30 in it yesterday aswell as my mate putting £50 in after me.....and nothing!!! so all in all it's taken about £200 and not payed fook all!!

As if thats not bad enough there's no excuse for the amount of credits raked for a board, my mate had 2 £17 worth of spins with no board....Abosolute rubbish! How can BellShite condone that!! and then when you finally do get a board 3 spins to ? and Lose!! there doesn't appear to be any % build up on this machine at all, what i have noticed is that it will take like a bastard for about £40 especially on 50p a chuck then it will start throwing a run of boards offering between £5 and £10 or features around Buckers Millions tempting you to take something but even if you resist and push it....it can go flat for another £40!!!

I really believe the one in my local has been updated, i've never seem it throw question marks as quick....give shit deals constantly and taking £5 -£8 and in extreme cases £15 - £17 for boards!!!! WRONG WRONG WRONG :x

Sorry... rant over........ i suppose just don't play it and line Bell Fruits pockets.
