Hi All

Hve just retrned from blackpool had a couple of quid so we decided to to push one through one of them Concept games version of big seven I think its called super multi nudge, any ways this one is according to the machine on 10p play £5 jackie, after 2 spins i got the nudge wink feature to tell me I had the jacky so off i went nudged in the 3 sevens and watched the old led count up the win got to the fiver and kept going all the way to £25, I think thay have reset the price per game and forgot to reset the payout dip switches. Called over the assitiant to check the pay out shoved another quid through just in case but not surprizeing it went as dead as a dodo. Obviously no mention of the the arcade or machine location just incase any one from that arcade is watching and fixes it, and before any one asks its not in the over 18 area, there are 2 next to each other but dont know if the other one is set the same.

Last night I had a dream that I was playing a £25,000 JP Party Time.

Anyway, I got on the top reels... It cant kill you on the first spin right?

Well it didnt actually.... JP, JP and then err the reel never stopped spinning!

Gutted or what... :(

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

Lol @ Buzzin's dream

Whats worse is when you have that sort of dream where the last reel is spinning and then you wake up because its morning. You try so hard to go back to sleep and see what it finished on... 25k jp....... now that would be nice... £50 pound a play for that sort of jp ?

My favourite personal stroke of good luck was finding a Bar-X 2/10 in an arcade which was clearly not working properly. The lights were flickering on and off and every couple of minutes a pound coin spilled forth from the hopper. I was playing a Cleudo Super Sleuth at the time whihc duly streaked. I walked over to the Bar-X and collected about £20. I dind't want to hover, so went to an arcade down the road, came back and to my joy there was another £60 in the tray.
I put in a quid for alaugh, it dropped down the back as it thought it was full, and it rolled in the bars for a tenner. It could only pay my original quid back. WHAT A STEAL!
The only time I've really fooked an Electrocoin over. Nice feeling.

You know those little change machines, nailed on the side of fruit machines? I've seen one of them spill its guts (£300 approx) to a guy who put in a fiver. It even had the decency to return the fiver. Nice.

Ah....stupid random things that make you lots of money. All good stuff. Makes up for all those quids that get 'lost' in Eclippse cabs.

No offence nudgeman but if that elctrocoin sent your coin over the back even though it was empty then i would have thought it had a pound jammed in the tube stopping the top ones from dropping down and jamming the sensor. However the pound you had wouldn't have come out then from a £10 win ??? Because it would be in the tray? Also didn't the alarm I.O.U. on the other £9????

faulty door sensor on ALL barcrest clubbers on board a ferry i worked on
we had 56 machines all 200 jackys.sensor was on the right hand side of the reel panel.
slip a penny in the top right.roll it left to pull the door open 1 cm..the sensor thought the machine had been opened and if u pressed the start button..the reels span to 3 cherries and a jack symbol...then a tune..then paid out a 10p/20p/50p/pound coin......done this for 5 weeks.on all machines...till the moved the sensor to the bottom door and put bars accross the front panels...............
:D

I Just dont get some casinos/amuesments I know this aint as big as 21,000 but once I had £1 in the bank adter my credits had run out I pressed the colect bank button but nothing came out so as most people would do I called a member of staff they looked at the bank opened and reset the machine and then just walked off!!!!!!!! They said that they could not give me my pound back as the machine was not supposed to pay out!

Shouldn't they turn the machine off?

Not supposed to pay out??? WTF... Arcades, they really are a law unto themselves. I don't mind playing and loosing acording to the rules but i mean they really do take the piss. If you loose fair enough, if you win... Well they don't pay you any way. There really should be somewhere you can complain too. Probably the local countil for where the arcade is i would have thought but i doubt any action would be taken.

In america they have teams of people checkng the casinos in vegas to see that the games are not modded and pay out as they are supposed to. We don't even have any real laws covering machines here apart from jackpot limits. There is something vauge about percentages, but who checks them? For all we know machines could be set to stupidly low percentages and there is no way of knowing. :roll:

Best way is contact your local trading standards and get a random spot check done. They must of done that at our local fair that comes round once a year cos the fruitys were paying out quite reasonably.

Get this for a fiddle, one of the acrade owners was emptying all the hoppers in the middle of the afternoon!! Right in front of me!! No wonder they didn't pay out!! I was tempted to say"excuse me sir i'm from local trading standards would you mind stepping into your office"lol

What he was doing has GOT to be illegal.

I had 3 strokes of luck in the same arcade in one day. Whilst playing a £6 gladiators the was a very quick power surge in the arcade. Not enough to turn the machines off so I continued to play. After a couple of minutes and heard some music constantly laying. I look over to see and £6 Eastenders machine playing its collect music. I wondered over to see that it had £67 in the bank. Well I went to collect expecting it to pay out £69 in tokens but to my surprise 69 pund coins came out. Nice

Anyway as I was up by now I thought I would leave but on my way out I saw thatthere we 3 keys on the line for a 3 player Crazy fruits. Well I put a pound in it and sure enouh someone had left it on a streak. So as this was rolling out the wins for me the player 2 machine next to me suddenly started to pay out loads of pound coins so I immediatel moved over to make it look like I was playing the machine.

Well After the streak and the 2 messed up machines I walked out of the arcade with abput £180.

Not bad.

Oddest thing I've had happen [although it actually turned out OK in the end :)] was on a £5 'Stag Nite', a Pinball Wizard clone by BFM.

Was playing it with just shrapnel from a round [about £2], and had about £3 in the bank. Then on one spin, it made a weird noise, I think it was 'Cock a Doodle Doo' or something. Bound to be the hidden features noise, but never had that happen before.

I got the Cherry Spinner.....got about £17 from that feature, making £20 in the bank - except somehow [don't ask me how!], the display seemed to shift across a place, leaving £2 and thats all it paid out :S

Doesn't make sense to me but maybe someone had something similar happen?

Anyway, the barmaid paid up as she heard loads of weird clucking and winning type noises, and I was a regular there :)
