Fancy a change from £70s so decided I want to own a £500, now I want to know if buyin a rainbow riches is worth it.. I just want something different.

I haven't seen any on gumtree or ebay for some time!

I would need delivery too which brings me to the issue of couriers being expensive.

Imho any Rio B3 cab is worth it, especially as you can add all the other games, and even more so, if you can get the other games cards as well.

 

That way you have loads of different machines and only one cab.

 

I'm very happy with mine and have never got bored with it in over 3 years :)

Jnc are looking for £495 for rainbow riches, debating to hold on this and wait for a cheaper one.

Is anyone selling a rio cab?

Hi there I owned one of these for about a year. However when my motherboard went it is very difficult to get parts for the pc side of it to repair it I would of had to buy a full pc unit.

As with other cat t c machines parts are very easy to get hold of.

I might of just been unlucky with the motherboard going

I have 99% of those Roms on that list. However they won't all work on a barcrest enhanced rio.. Only the T7.
Latest one that works is tutti fruity.
And I'm selling a barcrest rio.. For £495. I've technically already sold it but the bugger won't pick it up (although he's paid... About 5 months ago) so I'm a reselling to pay him off and give someone who actually wants it the option of buying one

I didn't mean the list in the 1st post Nick, I meant the list I put in post #133.

 

I have at some point had all those on my machine, but decided to delete the T7 ones as they would only work in demo even with the correct card and chip.

 

I much prefer to play in real cash mode, as you can cheat in demo, which takes the excitement and anticipation away for me.  Plus if you know what you are doing on the T7 version you can make the roulette wheel stop on £500 every time you get a go on it in demo play.

How do you do that Phil?

 

Which machine is that on?

 

Cashino or Grand Casino or something else?

 

That used to do my head in trying to get the £500 on demo, over 10 times I used to try it before it would land on the yellow.

 

That was with 5 wheels as well! LOL

 

If I were you 'pies the cat' I would buy an Elvis, Cashino or Grand Casino from JNC like I did for only £295, then get a pic chip and change it over.

 

They aren't too expensive, but it will certainly be less than the extra £200 they are asking for Rainbow, then you get the best of both worlds.

Yeah but from what I see they are hard to come by, I would love to have a £500 RR real cash but do I buy a cheaper one and then wait to get chip?

Also I don't know a lot about the other games like installation (I know there is a video on YouTube ((think it's yours nick or nails I can't remember)) can you install the demos just off a USB stick?

Press and hold down start release and hold down again, keep doing it till you have 500 in winning position, and then still with start held down, press collect.

 

At least I think that's how to do it, but tbh it's that long since I actually did it, I'm not 100% sure.

Yeah but from what I see they are hard to come by, Not sure if they still have them, but JNC used to sell them for between 70 and 100 quid for the chip I would love to have a £500 RR real cash but do I buy a cheaper one and then wait to get chip?

 

Like Jon says, go for a cheaper game and either wait for the chips or cards to come up on ebay, or just get the chips from JNC when you decide you want another game.

Also I don't know a lot about the other games like installation (I know there is a video on YouTube ((think it's yours nick or nails I can't remember)) can you install the demos just off a USB stick?

 

As long as you get the bpaks from a trusted source that you know to be 100% working, then just transfer them onto a usb stick and follow the onscreen instructions, it's very easy to do as long as you follow each step in order.

 

Oh and NEVER try to alter ANYTHING with credit in the machine or you'll kill it!

 

Most of this stuff is also in the thread I linked earlier.  I know it's 25 pages long, but deffo worth reading, as are the other threads about the same things, if you're getting a Rio.

If you do get on the repro then DONT download the B3 elvis top 20 1.0  as it is for the sitdown single screen machine (I think) but it WILL INSTALL WITH A ERROR ON THE TWIN SCREEN CABS AND  YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING ONCE THE SOFTWARE EXCEPTION ERROR COMES UP) 

 

I know this as have been there and got the t-shirt!

 

If you do install it then your have to take the hard drive out and fix the software manually


or send someone your hard drive to fix!
