just a "few" questions,..id thought i would ask these as there doesnt seem to be many topics about club fruit machines on this site.

(i) I know recently,...someone has made an hour long video of everything to do with maintaining a £70 barcrest machine,.....anyone out there thinking of doing one along the same lines but to do with a club machine instead..?

(ii) anyone got any pictures of inside of a clubby

(iii) are the hoppers or whatever stores the dosh until you win some of it,...much bigger than inside a pub/arcade machine?? (might sound a daft question)

(iv) are there any club machines which have an invincible mode (making the logo go red/or indicating that you are in invicible mode)

(v) why arent there many club machines emulated as lower jackpot machines???

(vi) my local has a couple of club machines in it,but it is not counted as much of a club,...just basically a pub,with no membership fee,just situated on a street corner..is this allowed?

(vi) is there a law stating how much a jackpot machine can take in before it dishes out the jackpot?

(vi) what kind of evil bar steward (b'stard) thinks up ideas for making a club fruit machine?? lol

Bigger yes, "Much" bigger, not really.

(iv) are there any club machines which have an invincible mode (making the logo go red/or indicating that you are in invicible mode)

Several, download Club Psycho Cash Beast for example and use this RAM to see it happen:

Another off the top of my head is Bellfruits Club Gold Digger (Get 4 'Dynamites' twice takes you onto a no-lose invincible board)
I've got a RAM for that one too floating around somewhere

(v) why arent there many club machines emulated as lower jackpot machines???

I'd guess not as popular, or the resources simply arent available.

(vi) my local has a couple of club machines in it,but it is not counted as much of a club,...just basically a pub,with no membership fee,just situated on a street corner..is this allowed?

Yes, if they have the licence for them.

(vi) is there a law stating how much a jackpot machine can take in before it dishes out the jackpot?

The %age it's "supposed" to run at I'd imagine.

a club machine is identical to a standard fruit machine working. it will most probably have a 4th reel as standard and a larger hopper. that said they are the same.

That was moi.. And maybe one day I will when I get a clubber in.
Won't be for a while though I imagine to be honest.. as stated above, it's generally the same gig inside an swp and a club machine.

pyscho cash beast club is a good example of how a £10 jackpot was also released as a £75, £100, £150, £200, £250 £500 and a whopping £1000 jackpot machine - that also had an invincible mode!!!!
club machines must be in a private members pub for memebers only. siting a club machine in a pub is illegal.
there are some bellfruit machines that will never dish the jackpot out
the club machine was invented as a long term machine and was not designed to drop a jackpot a day, let alone a week. clubs incidently pump all the profits from the machine into the bar, thus why club prices are cheaper.

as part of the trenial review we may see £100 jackpots in pubs. this *could* pave a way to seeing club machines in pubs, highly doubtful since most clubbers are 5p £75 jackpot except for barcrest which can do 30p £75. you can bet your bottom dollar pubs will want £1/£2 per go £100 jackpot.
