This really does seem like a crazy one to me, it's either incompetence or corruption on the part of BFM (as indeed are all these things). On the one hand it seems almost unbelievable that they didn't see the problem with a game design of 'infinite hi-lo gambles' on a complex hi-tech machine with loads of mechanics available to cheese the gamble when the machine finally sees the risk. Or maybe they did see the problem and punted it out there, knowing what would happen and that a load of players would make bank, before they dialled it in with a rechip, and knowing full well that there would be no consequences. Depending on who you listen to these things are all accidents, or they're sometimes accidents and sometimes corruption. Yes I did this method in the video as it was chipped out early doors on £70 and I'd lay money on them being none out there in the wild, unchipped, on £70. I've had the £100 trap explained to me a couple of different ways, including one that still works on £100 chip Perfects that are out there now, but I wouldn't do that in a video.

Shock horror BFM fucked up again, quite amusing watching @Big Jempty Galaxy on a £4.80 jackpot, and then fast forward decades and they're still doable on the £70 jackpot.

You need to go back to the previous emulator version. Don't uninstall V20.1, install V19 into a different folder and have them coexist on your computer. Try this one:

DOND Banker's Bonus for this one.

I've done a video about the slot machine in Borderlands 2

Emptying Club Psycho Cash Beast.

I take your point on both those counts, and agree that a club jackpot being cycled round in very mysterious ways that only a few people understand can be done 'well' (as far as it goes....) if there is still a decent game left for other people to play. That said, I remember they had a Club Cops & Robbers in the snooker club I worked at back in the early 90s (I'm sure I mentioned it in the above linked video) and there was literally just one guy who came in every so often to take the jackpot out of it, the regulars played it and some of them won a few quid perhaps, but I don't think I ever saw anyone except this guy who clearly knew what he was doing take the jackpot out of it. How much money did all those regulars put through it compared to the guy who came and jackpotted it every so often? Did any of them have any idea they were just never going to win the jackpot on it?

I'm not entirely sure that's much of a sales pitch for 'superb compensation' TBH! If the machines had '£150 JACKPOT THAT YOU'LL NEVER WIN UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND HOW MY INTERNAL COMPENSATION WORKS' printed on them instead of '£150 JACKPOT', I wonder how many golf club regulars would have been inclined to play them. Fast forward to the modern era and it's like DOND games that will simply never, ever, offer the DOND game if good players are on top of them. DEAL OR NO DEAL EXCEPT THERE'S NO DEAL OR NO DEAL GAME ON IT FOR YOU - ASK A PRO PLAYER FOR ADVICE doesn't have quite the same thing as DEAL OR NO DEAL THE POWER FIVE. Compensation has, IMO, never been done properly and 'securely' for as long as compensated machines have existed. (I mean, really, this thread alone largely demonstrates that.) (The fact that they've even managed to make random machines 'doable' and/or even predictable is arguably even worse.)

It's definitely doable without plugging, there were some times when I was playing the one in the snooker club that plugging was simply not an option, but it was still a profitable venture. TBH it doesn't stitch you up nearly as often as it could do, in fact I am slightly starting to wonder if the last chip I played in the snooker club is an even later one than emulated here, because the one in the snooker club could be a right arsehole for heading straight for the centre and then hitting something chunky off a single reel blast, which the emulated one seems less inclined to do. What ROM revision are you playing in Fort Boyard @dondplayer? As per the video there are some boards where it will play the twat, but overall it's easy to see ways it could be a lot worse, makes you wonder why it took Barcrest so many rechips and still not get it right!

TBH I think the quality of coding for machines over the years has been absolutely fucking shocking, pub/arcade fruit machines in particular seemed to slip under the radar when it comes to any sort of scrutiny as they were always classed as 'amusement with prizes', hence escaping the sort of scrutiny that IMO they should have been subjected to as proper gambling. When I think back to my hardcore addict days, pummelling myself into oblivion, stupidly thinking I had a 'fair chance' and that there's no way machines would be allowed out on the market that were vulnerable to all the sorts of shit we all now know they were, with potentially terrible consequences for those who weren't 'in the know'. I still consider myself lucky to have got alive, literally, to have escaped with my life. And as per my Gambling Low Ebbs videos, there were times when it got pretty close to the wire. IMO the core of the problem is compensation, it's just never really been done properly, and indeed one could argue it can't be done 'properly', to my mind the only fair machine is a random machine.

Here's a thing, what happens if you do the method on Lotta Luck immediately after doing the method?

I believe it had side artwork but I dragged it off in Edit Mode as it's a pain in the bum for my screen setup. You can check yourself in Edit Mode and see if you can drag it back into view

Here you go All credit for the layout to @Tommy c Snakes & Ladders.zip

One I've been wanting to do for a while, and brought to you courtesy of a shiny new DX by @slotsmagic The £1000 in RAM+GAM file is over in the Layout RAM + GAM file area.

Interesting, I didn't realise these were still doable after they chipped the step gamble out. Didn't have many Revolutions or Battle Axes over here, but when they arrived the step gamble had already been chipped out. Any theories behind what's gone wrong with the coding on this one? (Apart from the obvious answer of 'Compensated AWP in not coded properly shocker. Again. Repeat forever.') EDIT - Are the ROMs available for general consumption logopolis?

It's featured in this video

Direct timestamped link.

Only ever saw the one, it was in The Plough in Ramsey, in the bar side of the pub. Played like utter shit as well, I suspect it'd been done by a proficient player, this was before the days when I knew about numbering, of course. Here I am putting a pound coin into it.

It's over at Fruit-Emu.

It's a straight clone of Indiana Jones, quite a rare machine, had one in a pub here. There's a classic for it.

A true JPM classic for this one - Snakes & Ladders.

Just a quick follow-on video for this.

Taking a look at some of the recently released low and mid-techs for this video, £4.80/£6 jackpots ahoy! Also Manhattan Skylines.

I don't post my online slots play in here very often but this was quite a nice result last night, link is timestamped to the big win
