as if Cashino, rainbow riches, Elvis, and grand casino were not enough, they gp and release the same machine yet again and call it max a million

http://www.barcrest....llion/index.htm

if thats not enough to make you believe that barcrest has been founded on a xerox copier, there latest hi-tech is a fireball,dosh and pecks clone too.



Dear Barcrest,
we already know that you produce some fantastic machines, but please please stop possing us off with the same machine over and over again. if you really have to re-release a machnie because your are totally out of inspiration and inovation, try releasing something we would actually like to see, lie a s16 lineup, exchanges unlimited, razzledazzle fortune numbers, even a smash and grab with random nudges.. infact, be the first to release a s16 with random nudges built in... go on.. be the first!

In a way if a company has been fortunate enough to create want turns out to be a successful machine I have no problem them doing a few clones to make as much as they can. Although they do seem to over do it I mean how many clones of revoultion/battleaxe are there? It annoys me when they just clone any old tripe (dont mind the odd clone of a classic machine).

that is a fireball/dosh and pecks, though the revolution was the first to start the trend, so -
1. revolution
2. battle axe
3. fireball
4. golden dragon
4. dosh n peck (possibly before fireball)
5. cashback

mind you, BFM grandslam has just been released again..... (yawn)

Ultimo is another clone too.

Its safer for manus to produce reglass/ clones of other titles, perhaps with a twist.

Hot stuff was released in 2000, yet its still been cloned recently with Space raiders, befoe that Vamp/All fired up Supernova.

Bully for you.Done about 5 times.


Throw a wobbler is Phsyco Cash beast just more in depth.

Bell fruit are the masters at this .

I am not trying to be pedantic, but Hot Stuff was actually 2002!

Surprisingly...No!

Top Gears has added shots whereas the other games have mainly pots to fill.

Top Gears is based solely around shots whereas the other games have pots to fill.


so does top gears! A cash stack and a feature stack, with Fast Streak at the top.

LOL I had a look on Barcrest to verify and got it wrong so I corrected my thread...I guess at that time you were quoting! :lol:

Fair point, I guess.

The other large quantity clones I find are the Gimme Gimme Gimme type machines. Let me see.
Gime Gimme Gimme
Full of Beans
Cash Bang Wallop
Horn of Plenty
Bling King Crazy
Smash Martians???
AND they aqquired that clone to other companies...
Maygay have
Hot Shot
King Ker Ching

yeah and the new maygay machine is another clone of gimmie gimmie gimmie,its called jewel in the crown.

but look at red gaming they release about 6 test machines every month and they are just clones of aftershock or sting king rich.

bellfruit,mazooma and qps are the same with the getting ziggy clones.

they have found a popular formula that seems to keep the punter playing.

it would be good to see something different though which i think bellfruit will be ahead of the rest for example powerball and take the piece.

Just wanted to add that this is probably the best machine out there at the moment.Not just because of the streak but in terms of playability and depth,it gives far more value for money than ANY other current machine.

Just thought i'd add that.

You have missed the new barcrest, Flash Cash, which is another clone of all fired up and vamp it up. Same reels, exact same board layout, bonus's. Everything!!! the same. Not a bad machine to play though.

my arcade just dumped a machine in their casino called the treasury...multi player.

their is not one thing different apart from the name which seperates it from bullion bars... plus it looks tacky as shiite.
