The only experience of 3 Player Monopoly by Mazooma I had was pretty bad, but it was in a crap arcade in Bridlington, and I didn't trust the bloke running it :)

All he did was sit in a chair watching people play machines, I asked for some £1s and he pointed to the note changing machine, which wouldn't take my notes....he was giving the impression that I was causing him some king of hardship by expecting some change, despite the fact he relies on people like us to make a living :o


Hehe, in the local arcades you get a whole bunch of 10 -16 year old crowd around you when you get the top reals, and they all recokn they know what they are doing. So they attempt to play it after I have just walked away with £30 from a £5 JP machine.. Oh the joys.

Lol had that in Skeggy, they have a Party Time 'Bingo' next to the normal Party Time 3player. Saw a bloke put about £5 into the Party Time, finally got £3 out from the top box, and a couple of small wins from the reels [which auto - paid out?]..

There was some bleached blonde chav on the Bingo machine, resting on it - not playing, spotting the PT machines. Was more than satisfied when he lost a good tenner in a £5 machine :)

Now I remember why I quit them :)

AWP Hi-Techs are not so bad, but the Lo-techs are spotted by total f**ktards :)

Sorry forgot to add my fave lo tech manu. I would have to go for electrocoin, as i followed my dad for years around arcades (brighton pier to name 1) and he ended up getting me hooked on barx and the rest. :)

Always nice to see people 'in the trade', although your Monopoly 3 player [on £5/10p
made me want to eat my own head [it really was far worse than Party Time on £5/10p :0]

Anyway, also cheers to the poster above with regards to Frankie for pointing out my quote about throwing wallets away, unfortunaltely I can't think of much else to say about those machines...at least with an AWP HiTech you get to spin a reel and go around a board for a bit :)

Yes I do agree with you on that one. The monopoly wotw 3 player is by far our worst lo-tech machine imo. I dont actually write the software though, I just test it to find faults. If I was to pick my favirote lo-tech 3 player though, It would have to be The Streak.

Cheers Mazooma for the weird BFMesque gameplay of High N Mighty, seeing as how I made a fair bit of cash on a deal, myself and dad put £5 in, and managed £106 out within that period. Until last night I thought a Mazooma could not give the 3rd Red Disc thing needed for the IM [which it did 3 times!], and I also never believed it would offer the JP.

One complaint though, Mega Streak only went for £24 :(

Mind you, the JP+Repeat and the next Mega Streak [which gave £28] more than made up for it :)

Well, its been a while since I started this poll, it should be ending very soon [I believe I put it on 50 days].

When I start the next one [I'll try to include plenty of polls, gives people that wouldn't normally post the chance to get into debating :)], I'll ask for people to recommend options before I include them :) - I see noone prefers the Vivids or Reds, but TBH they've only been making lo techs [AFAIK] for the last 2 years or so :)

I actually [shows you how little I know about lo-techs :D], thought that Prjoect Coin has gone under, until I realised they made the emptyable Joker Poker [is that the name?] machines :)
