Is it me or is everyone trying to do the same.
It annoys me to hell.
all the manafactuers are all copying partytimes bassically.
its a joke in are arcade a little bit.
we have partytime arena,hokey cokey,and that new reno casino.which all basically the same.
and i even come across this on the internet the otherday looking for a pic of magic games II.

Astra have had so much success with those machines , it being a reasonably new end in fruit machine gaming the others opened their eyes to it as well.. unfortunately not being able to come up with their own designs for them at the minute as you say their nearly all the same.

Im sure youve seen the "Golden Game".. cant remember who made it at the minute but theres 2 where i live .. a £5 jackpot ( which is a total and utter waste of a machine ) and then the £25 which is ok if my local would turn up the volume , and the manufacturer would fix the stupid red LCD display showing your wins which you cant even make out.

Mazooma made Golden Game. And yes, it is shit.

I apologise for my awful username and previous posts from 13 years ago. I was a misguided chav.

its one of the these things were companys just keep on battering out the same old same old games its just to save money and make more by changing the art work or the change of name but the same game ideas bfm or bfg as now know have just done another cops and robbers ( club cops and robbers gold) i think it`s the 8 verson now including the old verson in the phonix cabnet back in late 70 early 80`s and day light robbery`s ,cop the lot ,club cops and robbers dx ect ect and maz/qps r just as bad with the rogan dosh,cash racker,golden grid type of machines

barcest revalution ,battle axe,golden dragon,fire ball ,dosh and pecks all the same with one or two things taken away or added

jpm qutiam leap,impulse ,red alter,cash buster all the same game layout

maygay,impulse mmm lets see now simpsons melt down ,duffbeer ,sparter cash,high voltage

really what companys need to do is take there best game which made them a mint like the old action pack ,spot light , super pots , super track vamp them up from £3 or 4/4.80 jpks and update the machines like barcrest have done but only as £8 classics adders and ladders they need to push them in 21st centry £25/awp as companys like jpm which are in the s**t would get them out linear verson of roller coster or old an classic one like strike a light which is an old jpm mps2 machine

think about it would give this generation or the next another 10 to 15 years worth of games which we had a great laugh with over the time , or maybe i am just pushing the boat out and to rapped up in the passed. ps i am not that old!!! :roll:

totally agree i would love them to do loads of old machines and change them in to 25 jackpots there are so many good machines out when i was younger like test piolt,money talks,big bucks there are so many that i would love to see.
but the main one i would love to see has got to be a
Screen Play(Maygay M1A)with video screen,on £25 Jackpot,it is such a class machine,the features were so good.

Only problem with this idea is that you know how crap £25 machines play these days and if they did do that then it would just destroy your memory of the machine

its the same all over the shop...how many motors look the same...how many new "BUsted" lookalike bands, how many Hifi's etc etc etc


If you can make money from it it will be "Cloned"......

As long as its backing, and you are getting past the £2 block you should be OK on most Bell Fruits. Dads had some IMs on this, shown by 'Go All The Way' on the alpha as with many other BFM/Mazooma machines. Normally find that when one has taken loads over the back, you should still bank build on it as they can take loads more before streaking, and last time I did that on Doctor Dosh a while back, I got £47 in bank from £50 in followed by 2xIM for £107.

I just don't see the point in forcing machines anymore, seeing as how most modern bandits can take £200 round the back on a force before dropping :)
