AK45 Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 (edited) hi would it be fair to say that all machines with £100+ jackpots are Club machines even though it dosent show on the artwork or digital panel that cycles through the machine like insert coin and name of machines etc ? i have been renaming some machines and i cant decide if i should add the club in the name for MFME manager so any help is greatly appreciated,i posted over a year ago on fruitemu.co.uk and got a good answer from wearecity but i was wondering what you guys think about it here at desertislandfruits thanks AK45 Edited May 8, 2019 by AK45 For Fruit Machine Preview Video's https://www.youtube.com/@akfortyfive4574/playlists These video's created by me are solely to showcase the talent of the creators and all who helped in bringing these machines to life,they are in no way a guide on how to play the machine or show how to exploit it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Nope. The stakes and prizes grew as the years went on. Machines that are in pubs now are at least £100 prize level, that does not equal a club machine. However that machine would have been a club machine may years earlier you could argue. What trumps that is even if that was true, the stake would not have been £1 a spin it would have most likely been 10p / 20p. Even if you say ok - you'll play the cheapest game available at 30p a spin you're still paying way more for the stake then you would have done in the past. I name my machines depending on whatever the name is of the actual machine. That is probably the best way forward long term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofruit Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 AK45 in addition to what Reg said above a good rule of thumb is that club machines usually had four reels on the bottom glass whereas non-club machines only had 3. Although of course there were a few exceptions to this with machines like 65 Special/Grand Slam for clubs and a lot of more recent non-club stuff has four reels like numerous Deal or No Deal variants. When I first started playing clubbers the general rule was that a 5p stake got you a £50/60 JP, a 10p stake a £100 JP and a 20p stake a £150/200 JP. Later on clubs moved to £250 JP for 20p/25p a spin. So if you are playing a four reeler £100 JP on 10p a spin it is 99.99% likely it's a clubber. Anything like that is also most likely to be Barcrest/Bell Fruit/JPM and have synthesised/bleepy sound rather than samples. Likewise if it has the word "Club" somewhere in the name it's a giveaway! Anything with both a cashpot and reserve cashpot is most likely a club machine also. Certainly the lines are blurred for more recent machines and it doesn't help when you see an old club machine like Casino Crazy in Mr P's on £100 JP! Naturally if there are any machines you are unsure of post the names on this forum and it's a dead cert that someone will know the answer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK45 Posted May 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 thankyou reg and retrofruit it makes perfect sense to me now after what you both have explained and it has saved me a lot of renaming of renamed machines i would have done wrong lol,I think what you say reg about the naming is what i will do 16 hours ago, Reg said: I name my machines depending on whatever the name is of the actual machine and also what retrofruit says to look out for 5 hours ago, Retrofruit said: club machines usually had four reels on the bottom glass whereas non-club machines only had 3. Again thankyou guys for making it clearer and a lot easier to understand For Fruit Machine Preview Video's https://www.youtube.com/@akfortyfive4574/playlists These video's created by me are solely to showcase the talent of the creators and all who helped in bringing these machines to life,they are in no way a guide on how to play the machine or show how to exploit it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Are there actually any £100 Cat C (non club machines) currently emulated? Only ones I think that run are the Concept Electrocoin based ones and trust me, as the person that wrote them, you don't really want to be playing them unless you like your machines to be a bit boring (in my defence I was following the game spec from my boss, I wanted to do a lot more with them but was told they are granny machines so don't need anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
