It did indeed. I can still hear it. Da da da da da da da da da da da da da dah!

Similar to me Mike. Loved the Aces and Donkey Kong was great too. DOND WIYB was probably the last full emptier I had. After that you're looking at manipulations rather than a full empty because I was working rather than a player and the machines were starting to be connected to the internet so you had to be on it immediately.

Great thread this. As I'm sure many here are fed up of hearing I financed my uni degree by emptying ace machines, but I was nowhere near as expert at it as some others. I simply only took line wins which kept being available on the exchanges even after it forced jackpot wins on me. I'm not technical at all, but to me it would seem to be a simple one extra line of code to make sure the machine counted any band aid wins as well as reel wins, and tightened up once it started getting over the RTP. But given the guy who wrote these programs went to jail for leaving this exploit, maybe he buried it a bit to make it harder to fix once discovered.

Turns out it did pay the pot about £5,000 ago, but I exited without saving the ram to see if it would come back straight away like Super Blackjack Club does, but it's now had nearly £10k and hasn't paid the pot. I've had a couple of jackpots gambling up wins and a couple from hi-lo notes, but no red bars.

The 'special spin'. Loved seeing this in the wild, knowing what will land on the reels...

How do I get it to take 50p coins?
-
You definitely can't climb the pot out of this one in regular play (although again in the wild every now and again it would give you a 2 or an ace on hi-lo notes), but it should do its special spin and drop the pot in on the reels. I'll try playing with 50p coins for a while

Anyone know if there's a dip switch which makes/stops old Barcrests paying the cash pot? I've put nearly £9,000 through Celebration Club and both pots have been maxxed at £150 for as long as I can remember. In the wild these things would reliably pay the pot as a jackpot when the reserve was about ¾ of the jackpot value. Current config is all the top switches dipped which supposedly makes the payout 88% even though it refuses to go above 84, and the lower just 2 is switched which is auto hold suggestions.

Are any of the new, pub based machines worth playing? iPub etc?

Some are good from a reset. Others need £500 to jackpot from the reset... -

There's a thing called Betteridge's Law, which states any newspaper headline phrased as a question can be answered 'no'. And your query reminded me of that. You can certainly have some fun on them, but don't expect to make money if that's what you mean. -
Golden Game is the best DOND.

Again, that just HAD to be a deliberate mistake by the dev.

I'd see white dots going around in my nightmares!

I wasn't disagreeing.

Most of these games are free to play in demo mode so don't need to be emulated https://www.paf.com/en/slots/game/rainbow-riches-pots-of-gold

Oh, I thought this was going to be a new site Craig had set up

What is the 80's / 90's machine with a clock face on it?

Sorry, it's Vivid Back to the Features I was thinking of -

There was a red with a clock face in the 90s/early 2000s -
I remember only once in the wild climbing to the pot when it was about £25, but stupidly gambled for the jackpot instead of collecting £75 on the exchange. Miraculously it allowed it, and span in the bells.

Follow the bear...

Crazy days. I never really touched the lo-techs having shoved about £30 through a 777 heaven while at uni without a single win. That was a lot of money in 1990.
-
How's this for a session? OK, it's a slight cheat as both pots were full and are free wins, but even so...
-
It's a feature. You're the first person to ever collect that amount

May the fourth be with you

Are you trying to force a jackpot? The Scorpion 4 version won't pay jackpot except in very exceptional circumstances. Just start collecting £100s and £50s and it'll keep paying until you're back close to percentage.
