That was the strange thing about the £100 upgrade - the effective jackpot was reduced because they could only repeat once, whereas the £70s were allowed to pay £210

And Sidewinder in my experience almost never went to the top on Air Bomb

The oldest I've ever felt was in the pub with @woodsy, and one of his mates was also there with his 18 year old girlfriend. So basically I'm in the pub with someone young enough to be my granddaughter

That's a good discussion - how long have you managed to make a quid last? In Keele services in the early 90s they had a Mario Bros pinball game that me and a mate were so good at we could basically last indefinitely. For whatever reason it didn't increase the replay score much, so we'd play as much sas we wanted and almost always got a replay and maybe even a match at the end, leaving it full of credits when we got bored.

Lol. Took them three months after the £10 cash release to get the machine to stop looking at the token sensors

I just got killed at £5.80, even though it offered jackpot on the previous board

Oh, my mistake

So who was bastardising @Projectgilda's code, because he's adamant it was 50/50? We all know machines that would ALWAYS go to the top on nemesis.

Cool, I look forward to it, whenever that might be

Any progress on this chaps?

Looks great. I want one! Although you could do with a 4th hold button for clubbers...

That reminds me at my golf club many years ago playing Blackjack Club, which let me climb to the pot, which was £100, but it wouldn't let me climb past it to the £100 jackpot and leave the pot intact. It just gave 'snap' constantly, so after about two dozen attempts I assumed it was blocked and collected the pot.

Top Gears etc were from the era that the machine only paid out £1 coins, so almost no one would be putting in anything other than £1 or notes. It also had a thing on it where you could usually gamble right up the trail. Can't remember if it was an emptier or just a glitch...

Indeed. But long story short, all those machines were very dull and would rarely pay more than £20 from the current pot. But I suppose that was 4-5 times the AWP jackpot of the era...

Most people on here enjoyed compensated AWPs. What the have in pubs and clubs now are very dangerous gambling machines that will take to every penny you have in a very short space of time. Definitely not worth the risk if you have the 'it'll pay eventually' mindset.
