+1 on what Eejit said about being pre-determined.  The easiest way to explain this is on Reel King, as each game generates a unique game ID at the top left corner of the playing area.  That ID determines if it’s a win or not, and if it becomes a feature, the ID will determine how much the scroll(s) go for.  The ID also determines how the win is implemented.  Let’s say it’s a win and it’s £10.  In Reel King on £1 stake, a £10 win can be displayed as 5 kings on 1 payline or 3 queens on 5 paylines or it can be implemented as a 3 yellow sevens on the scroll feature.  Many many many permutations of displaying a £10 win.

Ok guys, here is the next one: it is just the background of the slot.  The foreground i.e. the slot itself is missing 🙂

Category B4 (club machines) – nudged in a £150 win (blue 7777) in the base game on Dungeons & Drag Queens on 25p stake for a sweet 600x 🙂

Category B3 (arcade machines) – I have jackpotted Thai Flower on £1 stake during the bonus round so that’s £500 / 500x.  2nd biggest win would be Icy Wilds, £416 roll-in in the base game on £1 for 416x.

Category B2 (roulette machines) – I don’t play these.  Too dangerous!

Category C (pub fruit machines) – the Crazy Chair £70 / 50p went invincible on me and did a win series that went for £155 which is 310x.

Category A (online gambling) – White Rabbit buy-out £50 / 50p stake that went for £180 which is 360x.

… cashpoints that are too slow

… cashpoint hoggers who spend 5 minutes withdrawing £20

… cashpoints that ask you too many questions (Santander – that is YOU!)

… cashpoints that have no money left

… cashpoints that let you enter your PIN, only then to tell you that there is no money

… cashpoints that display the blue screen of death lol

… people who call cashpoints “ATMs”

… going balls deep in a cashpoint

I don’t like the idea of playing “online” in an “offline” setting.  Kinda defeats the point.

I reckon that category B2 should be stripped from the FOBT software, but then to allow each shop to have 8 FOBTs.  So what you have will be 8 category B3 machines.  That should mitigate some of the losses.

Hi RedBell…

I find it interesting that you wrote 45 years.  That would be starting early 1970s.  Do you know the roughly what historic jackpot amounts were?

I started playing pub fruits as a teenager in the early 90s.  Think they were £4.80 jackpots back then and 10p a go?  Then it became £6 or £6.40.  Then I became a regular (casual) player in the early 2000s, like 2001 and it was £15.  Then I saw it go to 25p / £25 which was my favourite era, and like what SportsBetPunk said – seems to be fairer play on the machines.  Then it was £35 which was “ok”, starting to go downhill but was still ok.

The earlier £70 (basically upgraded £35ers) were still ok for me but the later £70ers = gameover for me and I moved on to B3 machines and I get on better with those.

I play on FOBTs, but strictly category B3 only.  Same category as arcade machines.

I like Imperial Dragon (obviously my user name), Thai Flower and most other Barcrests (Monty’s Millions, Star Wars, Ooh Aah Dracula etc).  Having said that, I’ve never got on very well with Rainbow Riches!  Outside of Barcrest, I like Reel King.

My least favourite slot is Eye of Horus.  The Bandit plays a similar / clone of this online.  Can’t remember what it’s called – Pharaoh’s [something].

Moon Princess – it depends on which “helper” character you have on the right hand side of the screen.  The red one (Love) is the one that changes the symbols.  Just think of it as the “barrels” in Blueprint’s King Kong Cash.  A load of barrels appear on the screen and when the reels stop, the barrels will reveal a symbol.  That’s what Love seems to do.  I definitely helps to read the paytable though.

Sweet Alchemy – I’ve not seen this, but if it’s anything like Moon Princess (Bejewelled / Candy Crush type game), then I’m guessing it’s colours or characters-based again.

Reactoonz – what happens will depend on the colour of the bars on the tanks.  Each colour has a different modifier.  I don’t know which is which by heart though, so again would need to read the paytable.

Falcon Huntress – this one, I genuinely don’t know why connecting symbols don’t always expand.

Although I have signed up to Video Slots recently, I am historically an off-line gambler, so think arcades and shops.

So for me, Reel King as a section B3 machine is one of my all-time favourite slots.  I made the switch from pub fruit machines (AWPs) to B3s starting in 2010, and it was always Reel King that I would play.  The “dings” fascinated me because it bared no relation to the reels.  So no bonus symbol.  It’s like as if the dings and the reels ran on separate threads and each had their own RTPs to make up the overall payout percentage.  I never gambled the wins unless it was a partial-credit win.  I just like the feature and I get tilted by the sounds.

I know the quiz hasn’t started yet… but a TOTAL stab in the dark:
