[buzzin_nutta]

I had 89 from Arena before, thats my highest though.

[carlosgee]

the most i have had is £125 from a quid. Dropped in 3x's got onto the superboard, rolled 2x£2,jp,jp,4x£5,jp,jp was slightly chuffed to say the least

I can honestly admit i have never played a Party games.party arena or vegas nights since Astra released Party time ! Which was years ago.I got stung of Party time then and vowed NEVER to play one again.

I vow i stand by and one of which i am glad as i have seen some SEVERE beatings on these ( by the machine, not player one's fist ! )

Two pound wins seem to norm here.

I did however play an 0x0 electrocoin the other day and won £60 from a pound.But only because there was two bars on the winline.

Dangerous game these lo-tech multiplayers folks, you all should know this and be prepared to lose a MINT.

Played a 10p play Party Time a few months ago with an £8 JP and landed a JP straight in on normal play, got the top game and got 2 x JP's and 3 £2 wins. A bit crap I know but £30 off a machine that rarely gives you more than a single £1 spin on the top game was quite surprising.

These are the machines i stay away from...i might put in £3 at the most if i see someone lose over £100...i find them so boring..the only way u can win is by going to the board, and not only is that hard enough in itself, when u do get there u end up having £2 win!!, this may not be the case with the party games with the computer screen, but the one with the jackpot which are balloons are the worst of all.

[bhoy7]

Still stupid enough to play 4 player party time, when it first hit my arcade if you got three £2 wins in a row when you went up you always got the jp as well, this soon stopped.
Have seen jp win put someone up and then give 3 jp's.
Have also had 2 jp's on the winline and held the other reel if the jp is within 3 nudges, you sometime get it.

Well my biggest streak was from a 10P 5JP 3 player stand up version. I got £200+ Pounds. Now ya thinking yea right, What ever. But this is why. Ever been on partytime i thought never, this shouldnt have took this without going on top board. Then ya proberly correct. I play these things all the time so i know when somethings wrong. Anyways playing away on this 10P ago and well after 40 pounds on not getting on top board then im like theres something wrong. Already been on player 2 and 3 and they went up....But i noticed what others may have not. Ya go upto a partytime when no ones on...The machines flashing its demo and when ya put a credit init stands to attention and the lights stop flashing to say its responded to the machine. Well this is where the fun starts. Im playing away and im like what the hell this flshing in my face...Carnt remeber it doing that before....So carryon playing getting extremly mad when someone comes to player 3 and drops in a quid and the lights stop. Well im on one...I wait till he finishs and the machine after 3 mins or so goes in full demo. Collects the bank leaves it and thengave it 3 mins and put a credit in for it to still be in demo..So much for comms link alarm. Well im straigt to the staff ya best get the managment here now. Well after 2 hrs of arguing and peak season holiday makers piling up there decide to stop trying to fob me off as they begun to realize i new a bit about slots. Another 2 hrs later of ripping the machine apart and mass calls to Astra etc i reqested the rom chip of player 1 which was at fault to be put in player 2 which i no went up. They did this and gave me 20 Pounds credits. Not relizing what was about to happen. The machine had been found to be like this for an estamate of 1 month....1 MONTH of not going on the top board. Well first win and its partytime. It went absulutly of its rocker. Ya no when ya go up on partytime and when you die it sometimes triggers back up. Oh yea well this was doing it about 15 times ago....When it stopped it took about 10 pounds and did at again and again. After emptying the machine 2 times of all pounds and a bank bag full of 10ps they turned it off. Well they waited till i went back home form my hols...Came back a month later...The machine paid out 1500 Pounds before it stopped emptying itself. So when you go one of these make sure when ya put a credit in the lights stop flashing. One other one it does a s well is ya put credit in the lights stop flashing but the letters that say partytime where the light usally go back and forth. Well when its conflicting it dont.It just goes dull. Thats what the prob with this maching. 2 Machines where trying to have the same comes link. Thus not setting of the comms failed alarm. This is an easy tunable method by staff etc and can be frauded in the wrong company. Staff could easyly get the machine to conflict. Sort it out after a full days takings. Get the m8 to go on it and cut the 200£ + profits. So when ya think partytimes not connected..Then check the lights peeps...I had it happen more than once in different arcades. Hope ya had a nice read :-)

Blimey chaos........Had a good Beer too, hence one 'sentence' merges into the next.

Great post bud, but personally I think i'll wait 'till i'm 100% sober to mentally break that up.


edit.....it's ok...............altered my Res to 120x90 lol ( only kidding)

[Bencrest]

This is totally unbelievable, and I'm sure someone else on here will back me up.

I've played these things before, and there is nothing stopping a JP coming in on the bottom reels and flashholding several times. So to argue that the machine somehow owed that much because it wasn't connected to a top-box doesn't sound right.

These machines (say on a 3 player, machines 1, 2, and 3) all have their own ROMs, own percentage target (although I'm guessing it should be the same across all the units), so again logic dictates that even if there were a comms issue with the top box, the individual machine would strive for it's target percentage, and would pay out wins to aim for that target, without needing the top box to make up for it. I've done bloody well on some of these in the past without ever getting up top, having JPs roll in, JPs from 'let em spins', and flashholding several times.

Probably just me but your story seems a bit suspect

Well my biggest streak was from a 10P 5JP 3 player stand up version. I got £200+ Pounds. Now ya thinking yea right, What ever. But this is why. Ever been on partytime i thought never, this shouldnt have took this without going on top board... and loads more text which is so badly formatted I won't even bother too read it in depth.

Also just realised, this thread is 2+1/2 years old.

Took that long to write Ben lol

This machine is divided in its percentages. A percentage is took and given out for the machine it self. Then a seperate percentage is took and given out for the top box. Thus if the comms link fails on the top box to the machine then yes the machine will still play the same as always with its percentage for the machine being correct but because the top box isnt comms to the machine that slave percentage cannot be paid. Thus this slave take builds and builds and when corrected the machine slave percentage will be that far out it would have to pay mass loads of money to get the percentage rates back to what they are set to. Ive been playing this machine for years. There is no partytime that runs a sole 1 percentage for the whole setup. Each machine runs a MACHINE PERCENTAGE & A SLAVE PERCENTAGE FOR TOP BOX. So even when the machine is faulty like i explained it carnt decide oh ill pay it through the machine percentage like you describe and pay ya loads of jackpots to compansate. The percentages are seperated and if comms failed for about a month before being fixed then someone will get loads of money... I wish it was the 30P 25 Pound jackpot ones thats died on me GEEEEEEEE

[chaos]

And if anyone says they aint true ill be quite willing to demo it for you if ya can get access to one of these machines. Thats if people want to take it that far. One partytime tip................If ya get a shed load of money of the machine itself then theres a great chance the top box will follow....Partytime arena for example usally goes for 200 pounds streak when ready. You usally get arout 125 pounds of top box even thou this may take several wins which go up 1 after the other and usally 3 Jackpots on the machine which you get close together.. The rule on these if ya get the jackpot on the machine and within say 5 pounds ya get another then you most likly in for a big streak. Been and done it so many time.. I love partytime. Im like an old granny smashing hell out of them even though ya really no it dosent have any effect PMSL

Party Time Arena (#4) = £176 Saturday night
(put about £30 in)

... Needless to say, the machine (#4, along with 2 and 3) had been turned off...

[stevedude2]

Although far from eloquently put, I can partly agree with some of what Chaos is saying about some early revisions of Party Time. The base game returns a % of your money; the rest is paid via the feature. If there is a comms problem and a slave can't get on the top box, you'll just get a bad % game on the main reels, and that's it. You won't get an enhanced game on the base reels to compensate. When the problem is rectified there will be loads of money to give away suddenly, hence the massive payouts Chaos describes. On early versions people used to run out of credit during a Party Time and simply sit there, knowing that none of the other slaves could go up, as theirs was still 'active'. Then after watching people lose loads of money to the crap base game with no Party Time they would finish their feature and dive on the other slaves. This was fixed quickly - you will see that the feature times out and stops if you leave it inactive for too long. Also the machine will now alarm if there is a comms problem such as this, so the occurences described by Chaos will be on early software.

As far as being able to predict when a big streak will come along - that is almost impossible to do, and certainly what wins the base game gives has no bearing on how soon you will get a Party Time feature or what you will get when you do. Hence the success of the game.

Interesting read though, cheers!

[chaos]

Least someone no's about slots lol. Yea the streak comment i made is only a prediction basis and is only what i found to usally happen. Never 100% but usally happens. Ya no when its gunna happen because the machine just goes mental. When i argued with management for about 2 to 3 hrs i empty that partytime about 2 or 3 times..They then turned it off LOL. Never mind. I think i can safely say that i wont get a streak like that again unless i find a faulty one again. This however partytime isnt an old revision.. The comms alarm works as it should but when under this comms conflict you have two machines connected to the same slave number. So the machines dont realize that the comms have failed because it no's that machine is connected but it dosent realize its got 2 connected at once to the same comms link so thus the machine goes mental and only one of the machines will go up on top box why the other will just do nothin. However when they started turning machines off and booting there faulty linked partytime on its own it was alarming off like mad. Comms failer / Hopper Failer alsorts. Any error and it was doing it. At the end they had to reset all the machines and retune the wirless links 1 at a time to the top box. This resolved the problem and that was that. An example of this fault which dosent shut the machine down is when say you are on player 3 it goes up on top but it flashs the player 1 side not the player 3 side..This is just to say the player 3 machine is set to COMMS 2 not comms 4. Just to rectify that comms go as follows.......(1)TOP BOX (2)PLAYER 1 (3) PLAYER 2 (4) PLAYER 3 ...Hey i should work for ASTRA PMSL
