Gamestec Video Fruit machines

[stretch]

My local pub has recently had a Gamestec Video Fruit machine/casino put in, at the moment it has monopoly, random spinner, battleships and hi lo poker installed on it, with more games coming soon wooooo. I have searched on google, various gambling sites and forums (including this one) for some basic info, but i cant find them mentioned anywhere?????

If anyone would be kind enough to answer a couple of questions for me it would be greatly appreciated, also any other info regarding these machines would be a great help, TIA.

1. My mate and i have been playing monopoly more than anything, it seems to be quite fair but there is one thing doing my head in more than anything. 50% of the time, when you get a win on the line, lets say cherrys for instance, the win table will give a little flash on say sevens or bars. Automatically i am thinking the machine is telling me i cant lose on the hi/lo gamble to get to sevens then on the feature board. This seems to not be the case. We have tried everything that we can think of but it keeps stitching us up?????? If anyone knows where we`re going wrong pleeeeeeeese can you help?

2. Why is there so little info about these type of machines available?

3. Is there anything else we should know when playing monopoly on this type of machine.

Thanks again for your time guys any help appreciated,

P.s Great forums, will def be coming back more often.

Haven;t played these machines so this a is just a suggestion, maybe the sevens or bars are the exchange point in for the feature?

Already thought of that, but it only takes one gamble to get to exchange for feature. Thanks anyway.

It's just flashing to tell you that if you do win the gamble then that's where you will be on the cash ladder. Haven't played these but on a normal m/c that is what it would probably mean - or the exchange point as already said. It won't be telling you that you can't lose I don't personally know of any machine that will give you a no lose on the cash ladder before the exchange (and let you know about it).

So why before i nudge in the cherrys, some of the time it will breifly flash on mixed sevens (the next win up from cherrys) or bars or 7`s, and other times it wont. There is definately more to it than that.

Ok look at it like this. I was awarded 1 nudge, cherrys light up on the win table, but for a breif second or two, green bars flashed (£4), the only win that could be brought in with 1 nudge was cherrys. I dropped the cherrys in for £1, gambled higher than a 2 and won, moved up to £2, went lower than 11 and blam, lost the gamble???? why did it flash on £4???

Thanks again for the input guys, but please keep your suggestions coming in.

Could you have brought a single green bar onto the winline- ie, move a cheery out- perhaps it was a let 'em spin or something?

I know the machine you are talking about but the one I played didn't have manopoly or random spinner instead it had roulette type game and Las Vegas nights which is a re-make of an old video fruity called monte carlo.

Maybe try letting them spin and it will award nudges to acheive said amount like an old nudge nudge wink wink

Still not convinced. Theres definately more to it.

Are these machines really this uncommon, id of thought that there would be quite a few about considering gamestec is a big name in the market?

Surely someone knows something about them?

Never seen them in a pub only arcades and services.
Doesn't matter if the company is big if the game is naff and not played then it wont get put in places
