played this on 50p stake seem to go bannanas kept giving me jackpot repeat then loadsa money which was a fluke do they turn the percentages down after a few weeks so customers start to put money in

never played this yet, interested now...

I cant see them doing that, as legal law is they must be the percentage that the machine has on the sticker (ie: 78%) and majority of landlords are told by their distributor that anyone/everyone can have keys and they arent illegal.

Even if they put the percentage up on a machine, it doesnt mean that jackpot will be paid more often, because it can only work on the percentage based on whats been put in...

im sure they turnup the percentages for the first 2 weeks then it goes to back down 2 about 70 percent and plays bad

I do think they do pay above percentage to start with but will soon settle down over average 10000 spins

Fresh from the factory machs do behave a bit differently, and can progress from a £2 offer to a £25 offer pretty fast although usually there isn't much room for decent profit, but this can be a cheap way to get a handle on the basics of a new mach

Where do you gamble in Lancs?

Your 1st job on a monday morning isn't a brewers fayre near a motorway exit, is it?

what all arcades and oher places do with a new machine is to put the payout rate at about 100% for a few weeks so the punters don't lose or even win a little on it the first few times, then they gradually lower the % and make the money in the long term. they do this for a good reason - if the first time you play a new machine you lose a big wedge you probaly won't play it again and hence their long term profit from that machine will drop.

no we dont. our machine go in on whatever percentages we want them set on, and then stay set on that percentage.

well, i know 4 landlords, and 1 nightclub owner, who i know have never warranted any of the above methods. At the end of the day, a pub/social/catholic/night club, dont even know how to operate the machine properly, their just thinking about profits, so your either exaggerating it a bit, or lieing. One or the other
