[Poker / card themed fruit machines]

Sure thing. I know if machines aren't legacy they have their own page I can comment directly on, but for legacy machines, they don't seem to have this, it's just a download link... happy to be directed if i am missing something

@Geddy - not sure if this is the place to do it, but i have had a few of your legacy machines, so thanks very much for the effort you put in. I'm loving this site.

Good man, just the sort of thing I was after, thanks 

[Poker / card themed fruit machines]

Hi all, i remember going back about 15 years or so there was a small run of fruit machines that came out (not sure if all by the same company) that were focused on playing cards. They were fruit machines, not poker machines, but for example when you spun around the board you could collect cards and then collecting the four 2's, 3's , 4's etc would award different features, things like that 

I can't remember any of the names, i have tried a few searches for 'aces' 'poker'  etc. but no luck, does anyone remember these types of machines - and what they were called/if there are emulators? Cheers. 

[file naming conventions]

Had a search but couldn't see anything on this, apologies if it is already somewhere.

Just wanted to clear up the name convention  I see in a lot of downloaded files

for example

Hot_Stuff_(Barcrest)_[C01_25jp]

Hot_Stuff_(Barcrest)_[Dx01_25jp]

Hot_Stuff_(Barcrest)_[Dx02_25jp]

 

I get the different jackpots noted and sometimes the stake options are noted, but what is the C01, Dx01 etc. Or anything else that is commonly used

Is there also a way to determine from the filename which machines have the "proper" machine graphics as opposed to the the basic imitation button layout?

That is a gallery of machines emulated not the machines themselves. 

The machines themselves are in the legacy section of downloads, which you need to be a donator to download. 

Alternatively, the layout producer may send it to you for free as it's their layout to do what they wish.

EDIT.... I'm currently on mobile, so not sure if you are a donator.

Amazing, thanks. I hadn't looked under legacy for some reason, yep i am a donator so happy days.

Cheers for the info, I will try a few of the ones you mention to see if i can get in the swing of things. But I think the sub £100 machines are gonna be my domain for the foreseeable.

Cheers Vectra - happy to grab the machine off you, much appreciated. I would like to know if I am doing something wrong though as if there is a better way to find machines I am happy to do the leg work myself rather than keep hitting people up to send me a copy. 

With the example of Vamp it up, which is a Barcrest machine.   I go to downloads > Layouts > Barcrest... then scroll through the 4 pages but Vamp it Up isn't there. 

When I search 'Vamp' and select 'search files', it doesn't return it either. 

Am I missing a trick? 

[Club machine strategy]

Hi All, 

Not played club machines very often, a few random small sessions down the snooker hall but that's about it.  What I don't really grasp is the strategy. When I play pub machines, I generally exchange to the board as soon as possible and try to work my way up to the top feature, sometimes collecting mid level wins but mainly going for JP / (the highest) Win Series, DOND type feature etc. 

When playing club machines, both real and emulator, I never seem to get anywhere remotely close to a big win before being killed off on the board. maybe a max of £20 cash offer or a feature for £15 quid.  

I did see a guy who used to get a cash win and just try to high / low gamble all the way to JP, which he hit occasionally, but that isn't really any fun to me. So is it worth playing the boards on clubbers to get big wins and I just need to persevere/learn the features or is it a waste of time.

Pretty much all these machines are emulated.

If you look in the layout gallery, you'll see pictures of layouts for them, although there's quite a few pages to wade through.

I liked these machines as a bit like Psycho Cash Beast and Frenzy, you could get the jackpot in several ways, such as off, Step To Nearest Win or Tutti Fruitti. 

Getting the jackpot after using nudges and moves wisely, always felt an achievement and as if you'd manipulated the machine.

Cheers wearecity. 

I can see Vamp IT Up in the gallery, but when I click it i just get a image, not a download, then when I go to downloads and filter to barcrest it doesn't seem to be there. Am I doing something wrong? "Vamp it up" and "Vamp_It_Up" file searches also don't return anything.

Definitely agree on machines you could work into a jackpot, such a good feeling. That's why I really didn't like when 'cash or bust' options were added to machines as it just meant that anybody could hit it and walk away with a jackpot, pretty much taking whatever element of skill or knowledge there was out of the game.

cheers guys, will check out.

Hi All, I have played several machines a few years ago where when you qualify for a board, the numbers ladder is on blue, then if you keep collecting numbers/boosts etc  it works up to Red and all the board icons change / upgrade, but you can get booted back to Blue if you hit a '?' . The only example I can remember the name of was Barcrest Hot Stuff.  I remember there being some really fun ones but I am stumped for names.

Can anyone think of any others - preferably ones with an emu.

NB: I am new to the forum so using the fruity terms I have always used, they may be incorrect but hopefully clear enough!
