Well after I got the Top Giza off ebay and it worked for about ten minutes then the 34v went and the motherboard decided to pack in we rang up the guy and said this has happend blah blah and he promised to send a replacment hopper within 2 days and he did. Put the hopper in and it didnt work. So we rang the guy up a day after and told him the situation and he said he would just swap it for a Red Gaming Invincible £35. So they came the next day to pick up Top Giza and replace it. But I got a choice : Juggling Jackpots by Global or Invincible. Unforunatly the Juggling Jackpots was on Epoch so I refused it and took the reliable MPU5 Invincible. Got it at five and its still running perfect now! Havent had a single problem apart from changing the stake and percentage, decals and a few bulbs. Done a full test and is running properly without any adjustments. Typical red gaming. Excellent game and brill graphics and sound effects and very please with it and the service provided. The company I got the machine off is 'slotmachineheaven' on ebay or 'eyespygaming' as it was call a while back. Brilliant service and Highley Recommended. Free Delivery as well.

The only other problems (not really mayjor) is that the bulb for 30p play doesnt work and ive changed the bulb three or four times so i dont no what the problem is.
And the take feature button, some of the blue LEDs dont work (only two I think).
And the reel belt makes a horrible racket but im sure its ment to be that loud lol.

So heres a couple of pics and some videos on youtube I made before.

sorted matey,

i got that machine from them also ,

only problem can be the "number bug" where from time to time it will kill you when you go lower than a 12

by far the best feature is "red hidden riches" the 1 where amounts scroll along the lcd like

**.*-*2.*-0.**-7.**

then it adds em up, obv if youve got 7.** thats 7 quid so usualy adds up to £20+

i have learnt sooo much off it, and now i play "red gaming vortex" in this 1 pub and each time take out £20+ profit because most people who play them only can be arsed to whack a few quid in after losing feature gambles numerous times (pisses me off tho that theyve set it to pay out any wins direct right away, means i have to aim for profit in 1 go each time )


actually there is a "trick" iv found when it comes to that (on vortex, invincible and other clones), if your on the board and it potentially wants to pay you something nice, each time you get "feature" gamble it 2 or 3 times max, if it wants to pay it wont kill you, then each time you hit "feature" bonus again it will put the eliminated features in red, so you get more chance of getting the bonus you want,


edit: your "take feature" button looks a bit sideways in that pic lol , at least you got the "50p start" button tho, mines just got "transfer" :S

oh n where did you manage to get the £5 decals in the vids mate?

Its a brillant machine. I havent had any dodgey numbers yet but when you try and set up a board with a decent amount of nudges it doesnt like it and will kick you off the board any chance it gets.

Ive never played vortex before is it in a horizon cab?

The take feature buttons got a crack in it and a bit stiff so I think its damaged which is why the cards about 30 degress turned from where it should be

The £5 decals were already in it so I changed them after doing the videos. Thing is the top ones that are ment to be the notes only got up to £25 so there out of a similar machine on £25 or theres a set missing

Also if people could rate and comment that would be very nice

[cashbox1]

looks a good machine cardie mate - when you getting cracking DX`ing it LOL

yea sometimes it does that, there is that thing that says "the machine must offer players a choice at times where there is no chance of sucsess" so it could give you gamble wins until you are at the point of a nudge win but then of course be a 4 n go to a 3 or summin lol.

vortex is horizon cab matey, baz uploaded some test piccys a while back i noticed here

hope he doesnt mind me posting that pic again, features are exactly the same (just different names), and only other difference is 12 nudges is tops and theres that option for 50p a matrix spin, but deffo look out for that 1, very few ppl play em for that long in pubs/arcades/clubs due to picking crap feature or playing "gamble feature" too many times and losing lol

maybe i'll email em to see if they got any £5 decals for cheap, mines the same with max notes at £25, even tho 1 i hit 1 of em it gives a £35 win so i reckon quite possibly the machine is only meant to be a £25 jp max, but obv theyve put a £35jp key into it,

should give you months/years of fun on it

it looks a really good machine the only thing is i cannot stand them reel spin matrix things ? there just a waste of time. They wouldnt be needed if the fruit machine industry wasnt going on its arse.

Im thinking now maybe the decals are correct as it wont accept £15 jackpot so we both must have all the correct decals. Btw whats the stereo sound like on the horizon cabs ? I expect on a red it should be brilliant.

Also all red games have the bookies arcade or pub lights on the machine somewhere? I take it these are built into the ROM version

[Sparkz]

yea the matrix spins thing is complete crap, i think you miss out on the chance of "5 trail held super skill stop" by playing the matrix.

the stereo sounds are actually good on red horizons, thats 1 thing you can always be sure of with red, and as someone mentioned ages ago, each machine has its own unique sound effects even if the machine is just a "clone" unlike other brands (i.e barcrests "dosh and pecks" and "top gears" use more or less the same sound roms when moving up the trail and of course the "its hot" samples are the same)

the red that i have seen tend to have the bookies, arcade or pub lights, i dont get the point of having them though becasue it doesnt make a difference to gameplay does it? (mine has pub lit up)

Mine to has the pint glass bulb lit.

I think they may vary on like if certain lights flash when it being played and if its got to be limited to a certain volume or no attract mode ? Either way when ive played them there doesnt seem to be much differnce in gameplay

[CrAzYbAr]

Pub gameplay is a more soft profile
Arcade mode will stay under % for a bit then do a run to get back on %
LBO(horse) mode will reduce attract mode(don't know of any gameplay differences)

Ive took the bulbs out of the two that arent used and use them as spares lol.

just read the post that says `didnt take the epoch tech but opted for the trusty mup5 tech`

IMO i really dont think the tech is any concern for home use, its only when you need to do eprom upgrades and the such that anybody may encounter problems.

ironically, when you realise that red gaming is a player `force to the death` machine, you`ll be kicking yourself you didnt opt for the global machine.

surely that depends on the uses of the machine?, red gaming is known for unpredictable gameplay, such as 1 minute it can offer you £10, you lose gamble, then it will offer you nothing, or you can get on the board a few times, get next to nothing... then boom "super skill stop" jackpot/super/mega streak.

the chances are if you want it as a savings bank you wont nescesarily be trying to force for the jackpot each time, but instead try and get a few small wins every week or so,

i dont trust "global" machines anymore, "warped" is 1 global thats skanked me beyond belief, sometimes when i have cashed out the bank its given me a few quid less, or worse still hopper has been full, iv paid about £10-£15 into £5jp version, got "red mega streak" and been paid barely £3 (even tho i was spinning at 30p a spin)

[cardie]

The main reason why I didnt choose the global is because it looked as if it had come straight out of a pub, the fact that it had the shite sanken PSU and the epoch board, the fact that I have seen this machines clones (rock star and jackpots that rock and roll) all break (two in two arcades in blackpool and one in a pub) all either PSU problems or the lamp driver board fail. Where as ive never seen a Red gaming break. Frankly I dont think globals have any decent gamplay any more.
