Barcrest Jackpoteers

Right heres the situation,

In our local for the past few years we've had a Spiker The Biker which was a £5 JP. I know these are disliked (the £5 JP that is) but between my knowledge for the machine and my refill key I could always make a profit off of it. However, yesterday the machine was replace by Barcrest's Jackpoteers.

Tonight the float was at £96 pounds (presumeably out of £125) and I put in £3 pound and took £6 out (£2 repeater) but I guess that was luck.

I was wondering if people had any tips for this particular machine. It is also a £5 JP but was hoping I could get to know it as well as the Spiker one.

I'm afraid I don't have anything to offer in return.

The idea was to knock back all wins and IM boards causing it to go mental. I wouldn't bother on a £5 machine as it would probably cost you just as much to buzz as a normal machine and the return wont be great

the 25 pound version of this can be great. That 6 you got off the repeater is about as big a win as you'll get. Jacpoteers'll either pay a few quid quickly or just stay dead for ages and ages

Thats a shame, I miss Spiker! Is there any barcodes for this?

**badders** · 18th October 2006, 05:08 PM

Bloody hell, you had a Spiker that only just got replaced by a Jackpoteers?
Are you living in a timewarp ?

Yeah in this particular pub the owner doesn't want to pay the license fee so sticks to £5 JPs. It's a local guy who gives him these bandits every couple of years so this ones going to be hear for a while which is why I'd love to know how to play it! The next closest is a DNA (Red) or a Quality Streak.

Well the time warp continues, Jackpoteers (£5 JP) looks like it's here to stay and although I don't play it that often it seems really random. Refill key said it was sitting at £99 today so my mate and I thought "what the hey" and put £2 in... Cash Streak! Long story short we put in £8 between us and took £27 out (3 £5 Cash Streaks, repeaters etc).
How on earth are you meant to predict what mood this thing is in?

It get's played fairly often but usually only Cash Streaks for £5. Is it worth employing the "knock back 3 IM's then taking the streak method"?
