StevieFruits Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dondplayer Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Hellraiser I wasn't playing that much in the £25 days but there was a pub that had Hellraiser and Hot Stuff literally next to each other - had some good times on those 2 Your box will be CASHPOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slotsmagic Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) Also Supernova and All Fired Up. I know there are more but can't think of them off the top of my head. I did a classic layout for Bell Fruit's Hot Rod pretty recently which also has a red and blue feature board, but it uses a bagatelle feature which is very easy to cheat on using the emulator Edited February 25, 2021 by slotsmagic 1 Currently owned digitals : T7 Encore, T7 Original, Astra iPub and Storm Street Casino.

logopolis Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 I came across a Weird Wolf in the wild once. The rare Barcrest machine I mean! You can actually play these using the Vivid method. Gamble the cash wins to jackpot then get a couple of jackpots on the feature board. I used to do this with a Shark Raving Mad in an arcade and it was decent profit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wearecity Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 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. https://www.desertislandfruits.com/forum/index.php?/gallery/category/8-barcrest/ 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to do this with a Shark Raving Mad in an arcade and it was decent profit. I found that invariably, if you got a feature entry board which started with a bonus, a 2nd JP was available before it cost the same amount back. If machine was super happy and started on Add again - you could take three pots out. Don't think this was common knowledge - but it was definitely the case. These were decent earners for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

If you’ve not found it drop me a pm later and I’ll send you my mini versions £5/£25 as for that machine the volumes dead quiet on my versions is there a way to turn it up, does it need checkboxes adding to the test etc Edited February 26, 2021 by vectra666 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieFruits Posted February 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then use hold button to adjust volume. Edited February 26, 2021 by wearecity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Mavroz Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 I have a classic of Weird Wolf which is probably a failed clone of another machine. Will tart it up and release over the weekend for testing, time permitting. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
