I sometimes tolerate the £15's, but for me anything on a descent price per play with a low jackpot has the most fun. My favourite being JPM BigBucks on 20p / £4jp - full of life and surprises. 1 About me: Arcade, Pinball & Fruit machine fan. At home: 7x Pinballs (90's to present day - Fish Tails to Metallica), JPM Monopoly60th (£10), Astra Reel Stampede (£10), Astra Double Jackpot (£5/£15), Astra Ready to Roll (£10/£5) & Astra Classic Slot (£15) bartop.

fits Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 I liked the 5p £1 jackpot when I started drinking. Could spent £2 and be on there all night 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wearecity Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 Never was much into club machines, although I've played quite a few through the 80s and 90s in snooker halls and working men's clubs. Normally club versions of AWPs I'd played, such as Super Blackjack by Barcrest, Cops n Robbers by Bell fruit and the last era I played were Give Us a Break, Casino Crazy by JPM. I do remember once playing an Empire Games, Wild Thing as well in the early 2000s. For me, it's aways been about AWPs, my playing days from 10p £4 jackpots until £35 jackpots. My favourite era £4-£8, at 10p or 20p play depending on the jackpot. Played them for fun as much as addiction. But for the best gameplay, always machines of that era, should be played on their native stake/prize. None of this 5p play malarkey, blrugghh. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slotsmagic Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) I used to quite like the forceable club machines on lower stakes (5p/10p play was common out here, especially as the clubs started dying out). Could have a decent all-night session on them if wanted, without the stress of higher stake options. Also a nice slow session. They could be pretty easy to read, which was good. Plenty of spins for the money, something to do while having a few (too many) beers. I did play a few forceable £1 / £250 clubbers too. Last one of them I think we had was QPS Happy Hour, and a Deal or No Deal Red Mist. Not as relaxing a game as the lower stakes but did pretty well off them. Never made my mind up on the £400 'reel based' club machines. Don't get me wrong, had a few jackpots and whatnot - but if I'm paying £2 a spin I'd rather play something like a digital with a pie gamble. Favourite clubber? Tricky one. The ones I dislike most people swear by. Plus I'm pretty outdated now. I'd rather play one that saves up for a jackpot. I absolutely hated club machines like Crazy Fruits which 9/10 times would force you to collect something like a £30 win. Lots of people rate that pretty highly. Same with Cops N Robbers - I quite like the theme, but get annoyed with the forced wins. Then again, probably shouldn't grumble. All I could recommend is try a bunch out in the emulator. There's everything up to the £400 Reflex club machines. Edited October 16, 2022 by slotsmagic 1 Currently owned digitals : T7 Encore, T7 Original, Astra iPub and Storm Street Casino.

chriss82 Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) For me I’d say it would need to be AWPs in the £15-£25 range as that’s where the majority of my playing days were. Also liked the same machines on £5 jackpots and other £5s in arcades. Played £35s as well, preferred them to £70s. Think my playing days stopped around the £35 era. Also played some clubbers in my time too but never had much luck on them as I always had that dejavu feeling after playing that someone’s emptied it before me. One question I’ve always wondered from my playing days is, why were the majority of reds always quite evil?

haywire48 Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 For me its got to be arcades .have played clubbers back in the 90s in pubs i remember playing a BFM cashino on my way out the pub playing about 4 quid of loose change in it it was on a 10p stake 100 quid jp i got the 3 dices for 4 quid gambled it on a 20p stake on the top reels and got up to around 40ish on the top moved the stake up to 50p a spin on the top reels few spins later the bells came in got the 100 quid .But i am more into low tech machines bullion bars and party times these days and 5 quid jp machines the triple player ones golden game ect .But in saying that i dont find myself goin to the arcades to much over the past few years there seems to be less to play and more in the way of t7ns and t8 style machines nowa days . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDS were fantatsic - but a pure players machine - if they were evil to you - they were just being covered by local player(s) I made by bread and butter off reds for a long time...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csmaddog2008 Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 £5, or £25 jackpots are my favourite era. Lots of great unique gameplay and some amazing sounds and music 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze Frog Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 £4.80 - £15 was my favourite time. £5 - £25 era was good for the most part, £35 +, I'd stopped playing. Been playing some older stuff in the emulator and have to say £1.50 - £3 era is pretty awesome, machines I saw on family days by the sea in younger years that never would imagine I'd one day play, but thanks to emulation we have it all.

woodsy Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 I never got into clubbers sheerly because imo they were the same as a standard game but with nothing extra than cost and jp etc but in fairness the actual machine to be a fair increase in gameplay would be bigger than a snooker table ratio wise. for me anything £6/8t £10/15 jpm or likewise barcrest. and the £5 empire versions of £10 originals, tbh the list goes on but mainly stays at that price area living the dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
