Well i've come up with another theory and that could be that they already had £125 in the bank and the jp did 3 repeats for a total of £280.Now that wouldn't be odd as i've had quite a few £35 machines give me 4X £35 on a mega streak or jp repeater just my thoughts;).

eh?

£125 + (70 x 3) = £280???

someone needs to go back to school

It still would be odd as like I said before, they were capped to 2 repeats maximum. £35s could do whatever, There were small sections of Golden Game vids that had done over £250 on one game, Monopoly Wheel of Wealths did £175 often. However that's £35, you can't compare the £35s to the £70s in terms of repeats, seeing as government legislation has changed with the introduction of £70s

Clearly a "rip" caught on camera. Seen it before, will see it again.

There is no doubt the machine was paying and not in back door mode, and the repeats are real; the miscellaneous symbols on the alpha cleary tell you the machine is doing something against the coding. The muppets demeanour of "I can't believe it repeated again (snigger snigger)" also lends a clue to that!

This is why AWP playing is hazardous for your health. I saw something very similar recenlty in a Blackpool pub on a DonD Crazy Chair, and this was a £35JP. Three lads crowding it, couldn't see what they were doing, however red MS went for over £300. Counting the hopper told me what it went for. Totally against what the machine is programmed to do, and it emptied. Needless to say, they did not go to the bar and ask for their £25 owing....

Manu's are too worried about note acceptors being skanked, the eye has been taken off the ball of piss poor programming! At least the poor punter who goes on afterward will pick up the tab for that....

I would have to agree with the majority of that post MMM.

It is a long running battle between 3 sides.But who is winning ??

This latest upgrade to £70 has surely gotta be every operators worst nightmare, and not just on the awp front.

And even when these " upgrades/fix's " come out from the manus, they dont always " fix " the problem,

And when you think its only really two companys that produce awp's ( bells and Barcrest ) its not hard to work out whos making all these problems.

Always hush hush though, come on industry people lets hear your views on why there is so many xyz's..........................................................................

thought so.

Not totally correct. "Linked" wins on £35JP were actually capped at four in the previous pre-"super-casino" legislation. I have a copy of the pdf document somewhere, probably on the old computer. That meant £140 was maximum theoretical. Never worked out that way, because the word "consecutive" was used in wrong context if I remember and thats why manu's found a loophole. I.e. if a machine was to pay out £300, if on one game it did not pay the JP amount it could have a four link, then a gap of an award less than JP, then a four link again. Example; £35 £35 £35 £35 £20 £35 £35 £35 £35 = £300. Happens on Red Gaming machines all the time.
