Barcrest's 'Hi-Flier' and 'Superstar' were 2 classic examples of shite machines. If you manages to pass the £2 win Mark, you were fortunate. It seemed no matter which feature you collected, it was a £2 win. Always landing on question marks. Used to spin in reel wins of £1 very regularly, exchange to feature after 1 gamble (bearing in mind that the machine would round up the £1.20 win to £2), then spend ages on the feature not even getting close at passing through the £2 block. Total garbage and probably the machine that finally got me to kick my habit.

Must Say I Was Dissapointed With The Horizon Game  

Found Mpu5 (Games Are Terrible & Actully Boring After Your Put Tennah Through 
(But Admittedly From A Supplier Ect - There Reliable & near Bomb Proof

Also Many Game's In These Cabinets Follow The Same Feature Layout 

Ie A Dart Board Style Center Or A Square Board Going Inwards With A 4 Digi Display 

(Every Things The Same Now days)

Monopoly 60 was awsome fruitman noooo!

Anyway off the top of my head worst machines (for gameplay/profit) for me include:

 

1st one -  i cant remember the name but it was made by "Extreme" and was in the pubs maybe 5 years ago now. i believe and was a £25 jackie and was complete bollocks...sorry cant think of the name. lol.

Doctors n Nurses

Dosh n Pecks (Barcrest) - A clone of Revolution/Golden Dragon and Battle Axe, except this clone was a real bugger for killing you on 2/11 gambles even when full.

High Flyer/Superstar - As Zoltar explained thats why they were garbage.

 

Anyting made by vivid- All just too obvious, if the first board offers lets say £3 then kills you, you put another £3-£4 in and the  following board will offer £4-£5  and so on

 

And finally almost all £70 jackpot machines, i can only think of a couple that ive enjoyed playing  - Barcrest's Alien for one, and Its AMAZING aint too bad for gameplay.

[corel]

vivids £5 (10p) adders and ladders, my local nobles has a single play version that i dont bother playing no more since it last robbed off me £50. 

 

Also anything with Noel Edmunds face on it

There are 2 machines that I have played that have been the most tedious and vicious that I have ever played, the first one is a £70 random gold which was dropping off the first quid. I put in over £400 and did not get a single jackpot. I was gutted, however a month later I went back on it hoping to get some revenge on it, I put a tenner in and I managed to take out £370. The owners were'nt to chuffed with that and they have changed the way the machine plays. But I wont play it again. The second machine has got to be bar x seven or any of the magic 7's if you catch these wrong it will cost you a fortune. I once put in £80 without getting a single win just mind numbing tedious pressing off the start button. The machine I love to hate is oxo super reels can lose a lot but could also win a fair amount. I do love a good oxo.

Deal or no deal - Can you beat the #@#@#@#? (Banker) - Bell fruit Group LTD. 

 

Took £20 with not a single hold, nudge or board. Only set to a fiver Jackpot as well. Although it hasn't been chipped against the COB cheat yet...
