Hi Guys

Something that struck me the other day whilst playing some 2p games, was.... what is 2p from 1982 is worth now, and how much is a 2 squid jackpot in todays money?

Answer.....Thanks to the bank of England calculator https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/inflation/inflation-calculator

2p is now worth 7.11p
10p is now worth 35.5p

So 2 squid jackpots were the equivalent of 7.1 squid.
Makes playing the old stuff more interesting.

 

(BTW.I don't have a pound sign - keyboard is fukd (it's made in Thailand))

Out of interest - where the JP's really £2 cash as long ago as 82?  I know they would have been 2p - £2.00 from at least 88/89 as that when the 13yr old fool I was started playing

2 squid jackpots were in 10p tokens back then, and usually on 10p play. 2p stuff was usually a quid, or 1.50 in cash when Silver Shuffle came out. There was a place near me that had blue Eachway Shuffles on all cash (not legal at the time), and they covered the tubes up with black tape, so you could not see how full they were.
