Hi.

Let me take a moment to introduce myself here as i'm new, so hi everyone.

I've been playing fruit machines for a few years, not a serious player, don't intend to be, so please don't think i'm requesting methods or emptiers.

As someone who knows his way around a fruit machine, i'm just wondering how certain companies programme machines to play, what i mean is barcrest you'd consider machines for people that want a few quid in few quid out, and there are certain companies people seem to avoid like the plague.

So i'm just hoping that someone can give me a run down of the companies (vivid barcrest mazoona bellfruit red etc) and give an oversight into the ways that these companies operate.

Also, In the local bookmakers there's a recently added Hi-Lo Karate by vivid, so i'm hoping someone can tell me what this machine is like, and how it likes to play (will it let you gamble on dodg numbers etc) and what features are worth going for.

Regards

Russ.
