Sounds in late 80s clubbers

04 October 2017 - 07:15 AM

Anyone fancy a project?

I've been playing a lot of the late 80s clubbers recently. Explosion, Attraction and Clubwise in particular.

The latter is a perfect emulation, but the first two have the wrong sounds in many places. In Attraction the noise of the start button, reels landing and cashpot increasing are all wrong, as are the hi lo wheel.

You can see a video of Attraction on youtube here



Given that the right sounds exist in Clubwise - as far as I remember the only difference was the hi-lo tune played When the saints go marching in as opposed to the Entertainer - is it possible to fix up Attraction and Explosion? I find the high pitched cashpot increase noise particularly grating.

MFME for mac?

Sorry if this is already answered but I can't find anything

Can MFME run on a Mac? My son wants to put a Mac in the playroom instead of my old Windows pc.

Cheers in advance

Are AWPs more of a problem than FOBTs

14 March 2013 - 06:05 PM

I was in the boozer today and started playing the DOND Go all the way clone, Cash Ahoy. After about £20 in it offered me £28 or a gamble of £2 vs £70 which I duly lost. Assuming this meant it was happy I chased a JP and in under an hour had done over £100 in it without getting the jackpot even offered as a final box gamble. This is a ridiculously expensive habit and the industry no longer used the term AWP, preferring Category C so that when people complain about the lack of amusement they can be ignored. 

 

But is this really right - should pub fruits be a bit of fun like AWPs used to be or should pubs be casinos? I know FOBTs are described as the crack cocaine of slot machine gambling, but the speed at which Cat C machines eat your money these days is astonishing. 

 

I found the below article on the BFM web site recently, not sure what it means by 'unintended restrictions' re cashpots - can anyone opine?

 

 

 

New Category C Gaming Machine Technical Standards

 

New technical standards came into effect on 8th November for Cat C gamingmachines.

These changes affect three main areas on machines:


-Speed of Play: Changes in speed of play have been approved, with game speed being linked to stake.


-Cashpots: A technical fix has been announced to remove an unintended restriction on the use of pots on Cat C machines.


-Game links: Cat C games may incorporate 100% holdover on non-winning games so that any features and bonuses built up can be carried forward.

 

 

 

Fortunately for me there is a happy PS...

 

On the last tenner I had in my pocket it offered me £49 or a gamble of £50 vs CASHPOT of £45, which I took. Then after collecting that it said 'invincible next feature', so I played another three or four quid for the board, stopped it on feature shot for the Cash Ahoy mega streak that went for £140. So less than five minutes after being £100 down I was nearly £100 up. Ridiculous!
