a few questions to answer here but - 

Cat C can also accommodate anything below it on the license, so yes a £5 would be fine. (you could also havea club machine in a bookies for argument sake)

Bacta were pushing the FOBT thing so much that the £10 cat b5, Cat C £150 £2 a spin and cat D £10 20p seems to have been put on a back burner.

do we have any £400 jackpots ?

whats the deal with the `hack` ?

well, almost a year old reply...

nothing like a 10 year old thread to make me look twice!

played it last week.

lets face it, hes excited. Its like buying a johnny in advance of your first shag!

Cant say we haven't helped him.

When will it arrive ?  

should be next day delivery, what did they say to you ?

Reg, can you deal with this one

i feel your pain Reg

im surprised that the old rio stuff like cashino hasnt been emulated yet?  its just a pc and software right ?

Rio 500's are still around. Save a youtube vid a few days back of an owner that had the balls to put an old section 16 £2 play back on the floor !!!

and thats the problem. greedy SG wants T8's everywhere so it can release t9 !

As of Jan 1st 2019, Scientific games will pull all support from T7 terminals.

It goes without saying,  3rd party support will still be available from the likes of JNC etc. but SG will officially pull the plug.

is their really that many t8 terminals out there ?

classic machine back in the day...

cockwomble

 there isn't a central location for bpaks at the moment (that i know of), the fmedb (http://www.fmedb.com) will be hosting bpaks for t7 games in the future, i will pm you later when im back in from work with more info.

yes there is, its called barcrest!

https://files.barcre...client?file.wcn

but you have to have an account and be in the trade

lost me, are you upset that you have to download everything again, or upset that you are unable to download?

I think it is very easy to be so blase over the action been taken.

Iv'e never(thankfully) been part of a family who have lost a relative through their exposure to the addiction of gambling.

Yet my best friends in-law took his own life in Feb of this year through mainly bookmakers and FOBT'S!

And the guilt of his brother lives on today,especially as he and other family members turned not only a blind eye

(to his more than clear problems)but his own brother who he rented from,evicted him only a month before he sadly

took his own life. Completely tragic beyond words.

And he and thousands of other individual's have also sadly lost their lives through a vicious cycle of addictive gambling.

And yes I more than agree with pbb's point,people are hooked by many forms and outlets of gambling and they are

not just taking their life's and getting into difficulty through bookmakers alone.

And yes Nails some of us may have more will power than others,but many people get to a point of no return.

I know iv'e too been there as I know many members have experienced similar situations.

What ever the reasons are behind the move. I will cheer the day the vile machines are changed.

The sooner the better,why wait till April,change them now!

Bookmakers will never lose out and there staff will get other jobs eventually.

Yet peoples life's destroyed and lost can never be repaired fully nor loved ones reincarnated.

For every person that is saved(when the vile units are changed) then that and that alone above everything,is all that counts and matters.

And yes a huge shake up across the industry needs to take place,this is only the start of a very long journey.

 

Jay

ive self excluded guys for the same thing, its no different  alcohol, drugs, gambling. you say bookmakers will never lose out?  i hypothesis that with the implementation of a £2 stake, many shops will shut and then some of the big names will simply shut the doors because gambling is finished in betting shops. Why take 2/1 in a shop when its 4/1 or 5/1 on betfair. 

greyhound racing is in decline, betting in shops was dwarfed by the fobt stakes etc etc. im NOT sticking up for betting shops absolutely not, my point was the old showmen are corrupt and it was all for personal gain. 

question - when £2 a stake kicks in, do you think gamblers anon will have more, less or the same numbers ????   exactly the same, because gamblers will spunk their money on what ever moves.

fullstop period.

Please can someone explain what Cat C and Cat B all mean? Confused dot com lol.

im surprised you ask since you've been playing machines for some time, however off the top of my head here it is -

cat a1 unlimited stake/prize

cat b1 - £5 £10,000 jp

cat b2  - £100 £500jp

cat b3  - £2 £500 jp

cat b4 - £2 £400 club machines

cat b5 (doesnt exist yet but was proposed to be a maximim of £10 commited credit and £500jp)

category c  £1 £100 (£2 £150 proposed)

cat d 10p £5 jp (proposed 20p and a whopping £10 jackpot)

hope that helps, peeps please feel free to correct me

As i've said before, this has NOTHING to do with protection of the vulnerable. This was a ploy used by the amusement trade association BACTA to have leverage and go for a level playing field.  

Arcades by definition are not betting shops or casinos. If they wanted to protect the players then why on earth were they looking at £2 play £150 on a cat c, and the possibility of a cat b5 with mega/ultra spins. Its darn right two faced.

There are plenty of people here who want rid of them, and im sure the pathetic stories of how the machines broke them will filter through. I too lost more money than i care to mention, but im a man for fu*k sake and i chose not to go back. 

This move will see thousands lose their jobs, all for the sake of lining the pockets of the arcade owners, that the bottom line. What BACTA should have done is looked after their own members and not poked around in other people business. Now there will be betting shops converted to adult gaming centers, and the likes of ladbrokes etc. have deep pockets when it comes to kitting out shops. they will have the best machines, tito enabled to securely thrive a business. The likes of the family run `show boat` amusements wont stand a chance. Now they have lost their customers.

I will be interested to see what scientific games has up their sleeve. They will not have taken the acquisition of Barcrest and global draw lightly, and now with the absence of cat b2, they need to produce something by April next year.

To clarify, im disgusted by Bacta and what it has achieved, Placing somebody inside parliament (Jason frost, Plymouth) was actually a good move, i take my hat off, but it will cause many many individuals to lose their jobs to try and line the pockets of arcade owners. I do hope somebody from the organisation has the balls to answer.
