Fav machines at the moment

**jjh** · 5th October 2005, 12:49 AM

Although I have plenty of good machines to play- two Yabba Dabba Darts, 2 BFUS, two SRM's, a VIU and a Double Dragon that always drops £50 on hot notes, I find them boring to play- even when I catch them ready to drop jp within a few quid, forcing out the top feature is getting boring and repetitive to say the least! Hell, I know the layout of SRM I could force it with my eyes closed- it is quite embarrasing now how well I know the machine!!!!!!

So I'm not talking about profitabilty, I'm talking about playability. Don't get me wrong, I like the layouts of my fav Barcrest's but they are all the same old play methods. The machine I really enjoy playing is the Bell Fruit offering, Power Ball. It has been mentioned a few times already on here, but it really is a good machine to play- and good for profit too! Last time out on it I put around £20 in and the super feature pinball style game kept landing in + red cash, got up to £15, didn't repeat but straight back on super board £10 red cash that repeated! The super feature just adds a bit of fun to the game, and you feel that you genuinely have a chance of getting something decent on the super feature when it is activated

So what machines do you guys actually ENJOY playing at the moment?

Gameplay is a funny subject, as some players like to go on a machine take a win and get off, others like a bit of fun to win money, but I ask you what would you prefer each board collecting a win or dying, or a board that takes 10 minutes for you to win 3 quid off it??? Oh and has anyone noticed that jackpots take the mick by spinning for ages and saying you've won JP or something, you might as well have a £25 below JP without the crap!

Nothing worse than that Dave. "You've hit the jackpot" and instead of a quick 8 second promo, turns into a disco frenzy and machines buzzes like you've just won JP on a £500 machine. Next minute everyone in the place is looking at you?

I dont play machines for fun, and the thing that keeps me going is im a bad tempered bastard, so standing @ a machine too long aches my legs (got knee problems) so I wanna get on and get off asap, but I must confess that bfm's lockbuster is a good machine to play (club version) as its soo easily rippable and the gameplay is just pretty awesome.

Apart from that I couldn't give a toss what the theme of the machine is, sounds, gameplay and/or graphics.

I prefer gameplay within boards, but I can't stand the current choice of machines at the moment (SM, SN etc.) absolute wank graphics, and I dont like the type of gameplay King Kong Cash offers and the same goes for Most Daunting, bring back the classics!

Mazooma:

Golden X - Always love themwhen backing, only non chipped

Monopoly - Plasma - Same as abovce
King Kong Cash - Great machine/Great streak

Astra

Party times / all clones - fucking great machine

Crests

YDD - Easy to read and force
BFU - same as YDD
AF - Great machine, good features and JP repeats often

AP - V.good run, and if you knock off a true skill £25 its amazing

BFM - Not many for this shit manu

POTP - shit i always lose ,but i like it

Hill Bilionare - not sure why i like it, only played once and won £16 thats probably why

And thats the only machines i currently like, dont get me wrong there are hundred more i like but theese are the ones im playing all the time lately.

P.S (off-topic) does Duff Beer Guide pass £25 on the £25JP settings??

What do you mean anfield? Without using the method I've streaked one for £75? They DO repeat

**anfield road** · 5th October 2005, 10:10 AM

Have not had the 'Moes Tavern' feature pass £25 yet and was wondering if it does?

And also I have not seen one streak, have had it take £10-£15 between JPs but have not seen one give JP or Moes tavern and then the next board gives JP again.

as after a JP I always seem to find it either gives a £10 rip for a £3 board or it gives a quick board within £2 and I hope for a Choose A Nudge so that Ican get the bands.

Oh I do love them bands, apart from shitty line up

**DannyC** · 5th October 2005, 10:27 AM

TBH, I've NEVER used the line up method, Arcade me and the wife used to work in she used to go on it (not me) she'd play all out for Moe's Tavern which wouldn't take much maybe around £15-20 tops... it would then go for either £50, or next board would be IM, plus does this machine have hidden IM? As I've seen it go straight up to JP on a 3rd board without any ?'s. £100 is the max she's had out of one then off to the bar we go

LOL, I know what you mean- flashing lights and all that just for a jp although it isn't as long as the drawn out process of watching a mega streak roll in- £5 win, £5 win, £10 win, £3 win, £1 win, £1win and then you are wondering if it is going to go over £25- that is more annoying for me!

I know it doesn't really make a difference, but is there any way of knowing whether it is going to go beyond the first £25- do the lights still flash or something when the first £25 is collecting? Pointless info but it could save you the heartache lol.
