Good Machines Or Bad??

**Fruity_Expert** · 27th September 2005, 04:45 PM

Went bowling the other day and the alley had a varied selection of machines, what do you think of em?

Vamp It Up [Barcrest]
Hot Stuff [Barcrest]
Golden Dragon [Barcrest]
The Big Cheese [Barcrest]
Cop The Lot [Bellfruit]
Dough 'N' Arrow [Mazooma]
Hot 500 [Reflex Gaming - £500 JP]
King Kebab [Barcrest - £5 JP]
Manic Streak Features [Vivid? - £5 JP]
Simpsons [Maygay - £5 JP, Italian Job clone... but not Meltdown]

If i ever go back shall I avoid all like the plague? Most times that place is full of chavs so the Vamp is prob dead 24/7.

Cheers all!

Vamp It Up [Barcrest] good
Hot Stuff [Barcrest] good
Golden Dragon [Barcrest] good
The Big Cheese [Barcrest] good on right chip
Cop The Lot [Bellfruit] good on right chip (bloody unlikely)
Dough 'N' Arrow [Mazooma] good for a streak if you fancy forcing upto £100 through it
Hot 500 [Reflex Gaming - £500 JP]
King Kebab [Barcrest - £5 JP] shame about the JP value
Manic Streak Features [Vivid? - £5 JP] slight alteration of Vivid method for good results
Simpsons [Maygay - £5 JP, Italian Job clone... but not Meltdown] not bad but the JP lets you down again

Bowling Alleys can be dodgy places to play...the local shark in training is always resident and any serious playing will give you the hairs standing up on the back of your neck feeling as 10 pairs of eyes bore into you. You turn round and nobody seems to be there...it's just like an ambush in cactus creek.
Everything in out local bowling alley is set to £5 JP 25p play...bloody awful.

yeah I saw fuck that idea.. chavs are usually thick as shit and will turn of you if they see it as your taking their money that they could have had with there elite vivid trick.

Leave anything to do with those scumbags well alone unless you are with a friend.. its simply not worth the bullshit.

I once had a golden dragon screw me over, giving a super on first board and then not giving a JP for nearly £70. There are tonnes of info on this machine and its clones (revolution etc) on this forum if the user would kindly run a search.

Later found out the arcade likes to refloat every night, disgraceful. Still shouldn't have taken £70 for a pot though.

Christopher - what was your playing method for Golden Dragon?

I found that 'Super' boards usually came after one JP or after the second JP and the machine will completely die out.

If cash starts at £2.40 on the feature or you have 5+ steps - it is usually JP.

The bowling alley I checked (long ago) had:

Hilowatha
Royle Family
Codfather
Pie Factory
Austin Powers
Six Shooter
Supercharged

and other machines, all refilled daily and obviously all chipped out to play poorly.

£70 for pot is a feckin disgrace,

Suppose u could try superhold on CTL but that as far as ur gonna get lol

**darren222** · 28th September 2005, 05:51 PM

hott stuff/big cheese is what id go for, these are my fav machines at the min for straight forcing, with clueless people about they'l prob be collecting small wins which will build the pot on cheese which means its gotta be good for the force from time to time

machines in my local bowling alley play is decent i have a wildfire clone, royal roulette, IJ3, AFU so a good set of machines. ive only been once though and was low on cash AFU gave me hot reel 2 reel for £24 from first board + r/r was backing and pretty buzzed, probably the best place in my area to play now as there wasnt too many people about + theres a lot of m/c's with v good streak potential

I tend to find that a super board which gives jackpot usually results in at least one other pot within the few boards after.

I just completely force these if they are due from the off, as this particular one seemed to be. A lot of players like the recycling method on these, I just feel that takes a lot of time.

I've had a slow bonus on these, it was that buzzed up. Also had the barcrest button light up when I collected a cash amount for skill gamble to break the bank.

Whats this Royal Roullete like is the streak on theese any good? I mean we have around 5 in the local holiday camp and they wouldnt have being dropped yet (JP) am i right in saying there impulse? as i forced a dambluster £5 in there and it IM for a £50 streak, is the gold series on the roullete any good on £5? and would it be worth forcing for JP if it has a streak built into it?

cheerz
