Current Machines

[Scott]

Just been thinking that I aint quite been playing as much as I used to so I just want some pointers to good machines.. not asking for info or tips just machiens you guys believe have a decent streak pot cycle and a progressive nature. Heres the machines I am playing at the moment and the amount I make on each machine per week (thats EACH machine).. these are averages of last couple of weeks

Extreme - 25: £40(bookies) - £30 (pub)
Damn Buster: £30(pub), £30(pub), £30(pub), £30(pub)
Fireball - £60 (pub)
Cash Attack - £60 (bookies)
VIU: £25 (bookies P.3), £50 (pub P.2)
Invaders: £50 (pub, yes its shit but few things like fruit steps to £15 and red Xchanges/bonus helps)

There are a few more that I play but not so much these days.. looking to widen my playing a bit more now..

I currently try to work of a cycle of Sunday mornings and Thursdays evenings which seems to be working but this is only because I hardly ever see anyone force a JP therefore not really anyone getting the streak.

I think quite a few people are thinking along the same lines as you at the moment. Hasn't been any decent releases for a while and everything is a bit quiet. Im personally still doing ok (as probbably you are) but I know where your coming from when you say you could do with a few extra machines to play.

If you play db's im surprised your not playing some of the older impulses and IJ3 unless there are none in your area. These can be decent machines if you get a stranglehold on the streak but can become virtually pointless to play if people are hitting them regular. Anyway. im sure there will be something along soon, because there always is.

How do you have the discipline to play Sunday mornings? Jesus don't think I could be that hard on myself, guess I must be the drunken asshole filling them up heh.

Seriously, obv. thurs nights / fri+sat+sunday mornings best to play, do you ever go out after eg. a big footie game has been on? Usually good for a flutter.

M/c's round here are poor atm, got Atlantic/Bottle Bank (mtr?), Cops n Robbers, Pony Express, lots of Red's (grr), Hyper Vipers, loads of GGG+all clones, er still some Top Dogs and Beanstreaks as well, plus IJ3/DB. Oh yes and Bankraid, what is this like? Even the SC has gone.

No Doshballs / JJ+RP, also never seen a Vamp it up ever round here, times are grim, Still got an unchipped C4 and a Bedazzled in the same bar tho...

I have aways personally found sunday morning to be the quickest and cheapest time to hit a streak as it sounds nasty but drunk people do play the machines and dont have a clue what they are doing on saturday nights. Trust me I do this my self a lot and I lost £15 in a fireball although I put in £3 and got the JP setup for STNW but I nudged in the red sevens for it instead and was like FUCK!.. oh well alchohol is evil

Also other good times are about 30 mins before nightclubs shut(be careful and only do if not quite pissed) and first timg when the nightclubs open on sunday nights (first on after the piss heads on sat night).

[Topthelot]

now thats a sign of the truly committed - turning up early/ late to nightclubs to hit the fruities

be queuing outside kebab shops next

[Scott]

How do you play a fruity in a night club at all? I never bother unless it is just druken playing where I probably get no where..

Once I streaked a high flyer off £2 for like £85 first credit was a let em spin then the board was flashing and it went from there.. luckily I was not to drunk and was with like 12 mates cus there were two guys who said they had only just gone to get change. They just backed off once they noticed who I was with.. although it could easily have gone the other way and got violent. Messing with fruities when there are hundreds of drunk people around you is simply asking for trouble in my opinion.

if they broke the golden rules of not running out of float, and leaving a credit in the machine then there is nowt they can do.

I think these days it is necessary to take what you can get whatever the location.

I have a fireball in a local late bar / club (only open 4 nights a week) and can take 3 JP's out every saturday without fail for about 50 profit.

Considering the place is the only half decent night spot in the area it makes sense to do it weekly on a saturday night.

Seems to be alot of talk of playing for a potential streak on Dambusters and IJs, to clear this up, is it worthwhile? I have not found it necessary to play either yet due to the number of big cheese clones and doshballs in my area.

I am aware of big cheese types and playing profile and methods but would appreciate if someone could compare big cheese types with dambuster and IJ3 in summary. ie. Chances of streak / cost for streak / signs streak is near? etc.


Cheers

iirc streak has been activated by first cash shot (normal board) of £25, then a repeat, then the flash. Signs are obvious, it offered me bank raid a tenner before JP.

tbh don't think it's worth it, streak maybe every 2 weeks?
