Thats one hell of a "bump" on a thread...

Aha... some clarity. That does not look like a UK machine -and they all I familiar with......

I am pretty sure that the drag will give you enough time TBh - its how I do it on games like this.

@huuj there is also a £200 JP club version - should be in the Barcrest Legacy section. I got JP twice in one day on that in a Casino when I was about 20..... got it off a tenner on the second highest feature i think, then some one proceeded to lose about £300 in it, so I tried again and of about £15 it let me gamble to the JP from the highest feature. Those were the days..........

Not personally, might have been before my time... Having said that though there is a JPM machine called Magic Dragons - link below

Not long into the £15 era, Eletcrocoin released updated Bar-X games called Bar-x 5 and later Bar-x 10 Exact same game and pretty similar game but Bars £15 and X's £5 - released AFAIK in that dome like cabinet. These seemed to have a really weird profile where they would "streak" by giving a win every £4 or so, so very long and drawn out. Not sure what made remember these, have they been emulated at all?

One of the BEST parts of emulation. Lets takes this for a blast, lets not collect anything for £100 on a £10 machine, lets gamble the wrong way. Lots and lots of fun trying to make low features pay silly amounts... or JP's that never repeated in the wild - repeat. Some of the challenges you can set your self are immense - and completely impractical if playing with real cash.

God I loved this, and Speedball 2 on the megadrive What a game

They go online though. I work in a call centre... all the 18-25 year olds have online accounts and are there spinning away on breaks. Its insane.

And, unless I am very much mistaken, SWP as opposed to AWP could be set as low as 30%!

I think he means the the question marks say "skill stop bonus" when you land on them - which is a blatant lie.... Skill stop itself was a fun challenge to hit the best square.

Hi and welcome. In terms of all the uk "feature" based machines, so ones with trails that lead to feature games, or nudges, its important to remember that these are compensated, so the machine knows (mostly) what it is doing and what it is prepared to offer..... So a machine which is behind its target percentage is more likely to trail hold as it is looking to pay out some money, whereas one that is on its percentage or even ahead will play "tighter" making wins harder. Machines like to pretend that the offering of nudges or trail helds and the like are random, its not - all controlled by the game software so no real discernable pattern as such. If you collect nothing from your Red Dwarf game, you should see it get happier, more bonuses from the postion 4 (and the better ones as well), more trail helds and the more regular offering of wins. Conversely, if you collect everything, it will be less "happy" I almost wish I was brand new to the scene, cos it would be a whole new learning experience! Good hunting and have some fun.

The Betcom / Blue print Andy Capp game can be screwed with - if you try to all out force for £100 from the end of trail cash shots it WON'T pay it - ever. I think @Chopaholic put £1000's in it - emulator obviously. My version is currently 2k behind its payout, and it does not give this back through continuous JP boards or anything. He has also done a JPM Big Wheel vid where this can get astonishingly behind if played on full force.

Have one on me - your work is amazing and you are sorely missed.

if 11 boxes left - just about 1 in a 1000 (11 x 10 x 9)

Id like to see some rich person who DOESN't need the money, take offer 1.....

I will always be a gambler, I am resigned to that and can keep my losses in check (mostly - occasional blow outs happen) For me though MFME is a real boost, it does satisfy me, and I can equally happily play old slots rather than deposit online. If I had never had MFME though, would I have been able to just quit entirely? Possibly, but i'm not convinced. Having said that, my days of playing IRL are definitely numbered. I have lost fortunes on randoms down the year, and they, and the digital cabinets hold very little interest for me now. I have one arcade with a few £5 machines which I enjoy - but the pub days, I reckon are in their final 12 months.

I had one one the Dragon 32 - wasnt any of these pictured, but it did have a feature trail which would give nudes or (i think at least) some sort of win streak. I used to love my Dragon 32 - 1st home computer with proper keys

Hello and welcome to The Greatest Show on Earth - only without Hugh Jackman. Or P T Barnum for that matter.

Got my five year badge today, and what a pleasurable five years it has been. I love this site and the memories of yesteryear it contains and would just like to say a huge thank you to all who contribute, be it layout releasers, video releasers or just those (like me) who comment on the more fun and informative posts we have had down the year. Keep up the awesome work

This is a really interesting post - but WAY above my technical level - me just bash buttons.

Hahah - got my Hot Shot running a pretty Brutal ( but not zero paying) auto play set up. Its just double repeated on the JP - who would have thunk it?

The things you learn reading random posts... despite being a member here for a few years..... I have always loaded each game from my downloads - I never realised MFME had linked them all for me! I officially feel stupid, but @stevedude2THANK YOU!!

It takes some fiddling with, but I just use some very basic profiles to ram some money into games. This is my rather basic one for mega Deal or No Deal - surprisingly, cos of the number of boards which will hit Mega Streak on the shots, although this will get the machine owing a good chunk on % its not as high as you might expect. (It should be a 0 where it says insert - I must have knocked it taking the image)

Welcome You may want to consider a small donation to the site - this will give you unlimited downloads for the year - and is unbelievably worth it. If you remember any of these games from the 80's on (possibly even 70's) you are in for a world of pleasure.
