Free info any good?

[rushmore]

I came across this link, which has a load of 'free' info.
The question I need answering is the bit on the bar-x's, where it tells you how to spot mab-chipped ones from standard ones. Is this kosher?
guides for older stuff

Basically I have trouble sometimes in telling them apart initially, as unless stickered they are hard to spot and are few indicators they are flash-nudgers.

Ta in advance.

I have two of these mab bar-x's locally, even though they have been rechipped not to be emptiable, you can still get the bar streak via knockback on £2 flashes. I'll b going down on Monday to hit these. and yes the information on that site was 'kosher.' You'll b lucky to find one on the early chip tho.

Most of this info is true, but you'd be damn lucky to find any of the mcs mentioned still working with them methods, as they are old chip methods, nobody would give a current chip method out on a public web page, and if they did it wouldn't be working for very long.

If you know of any arcades or pubs that use small distributors then you might be in with a chance, also watch out for the Club Machines, some labour/catholic clubs actually purchase their own mcs, so they could also be old chips too.

No advice on the BarX, never played it

He states this on his website:

The device is a handheld portable jamming transmitter. You often wondered why some places banned mobile phones near fruit machines? Well, it's because (as airlines know too) that there is a risk of disruption to the electronics, which may 'benefit' the player. Machines by law have to meet minimum percentage-payouts. If the machine is 'disrupted' then it is programmed to give the player 'benefit of the doubt' and award the previous win.

Not true, he's put then it IS programmed to give the player 'benefit of the doubt' when it could be the other way around and FOOK the mc programme up.

Airwaves lol, its a load of crap imo. No conclusion can be drawn to this as mobile phones aren't even proven to damage anything, they even once said Mobiles could cause cancer Is that along with fags, booze, coke, too much milk, worcester sauce walkers crisp? pfff

I will tell one thing now. The Monopoly one is correct!! As i have a Monopoly machine on P1.

Most of the time the JPs have come from Superpot and if 4 stations are lit you have a pretty good chance at £75. There is a block at £2/£3 if you get £4+ keep going. Good numbers to gamble on are 1,2,3,4,9,10,11,12. Having bonuses are quite good. If you are on the super feature take either orange set, red set, yellow set, green set or purple set.

Orange set- pips- £1 per pip, offers £1-£12.
Red set- Bank roll- stop first figure either 1 or 2 then second so on e.e 12.34 equals £12.34 rounding to £13. very good £10 minimum average £15
Yellow Set- Scatter street offers 4 board shots average. £3 repeat minimum
Green Set- good or bad depening on what simbols are on the winline. You stop light on symbol you want. excellent if JP on winline. If the Jp is on the winline, machine is very happy.
Purple set- road runner- stop dapple on cash ladder, £15 minimum.

My machine is on 78%.

I hope this is of help to everyone, if more info is needed PM me for details.

Danny, no disrespect, but WTF has this to do with my request for help on bar-x identification??

[DannyC]

The title of the thread is 'free info any good' too?

So this is merely part of his 'free info' scheme.

[CoasterDesignerpro]

My Monopoly is P1, and yes i can empty it if i want to, but i won't give that info here. I have given the help i can give for certain reasons.

Oh and blue set, super hold. Excellent if a high win is in view obviously!

Pink set- symbol steppa.

Rushmore,

Surely u can play machines close to these bar x's and see if they ever flash. Then u will know whether they are/are not mab versions. Or else play them yourself and find out. You'll then b able to identify an early chip or not.

The two I have locally are not early chips, played one today and decided to force out the flash nudge run. Was not successful!

Rejected £2 after £2 waiting on the flash nudge coming in, when the first one came it was for £2, rejected again, but no streak of flash nudges after. This continued for a while until another £2 flash came, rejected once more.

JP drops in, no holds, no flash afterwards. Jp drops in again, around £20 later and this time it holds, no flash afterwards. By this time I've rammed about £50 in, have around £28 in the bank.

Keep ploughing on waiting for this flash run, It eventually comes, jp, jp, £2,jp with hold and final £2. Relief, broke about even.

Also, I would recommend taking the £2's when it is on the flash run as it does not fuck up the run of bars, these will come regardless of you collecting £2's as long as its the streak. If u reject them during the streak they will merely drop in once the streak has finished, rather like the golden games.
