Games on FOBT’s that make make a loud noise and say “BIG WIN” for a fecking £4 win.
1I watch Stop and Step vids and saw today’s . Rainbow Riches & T Flower were OK, but a couple of the other games were taking the piss bad.
It’s still around on the William Hill FOBT’s. It used to be popular but not many play it these days. Had the jackpot a few times from 4 Helmets and then getting on to Millionaires row. Had 5 Helmets a couple of times which paid about a third of the possible Jackpot.
Years ago i got very close to losing my home. It was the wakeup call that i needed and since then i only gamble what i can afford to lose, so i keep my gambing pot to about 400 to 500 a month. Better still, these days, when i have a decent win i buy or do something with it rather than use it as extra money to gamble with. I enjoy my gambling way more now than i’ve ever done before!
1I nearly missed a job interview playing this game.
Playing in bookies a mins walk from interview when the 3 wheels roll in. Never played it before, so I was happy to get what I thought/hoped would be a nice, quick bonus before I left. Respin after respin after respin after… Well over a hundred of the feckers. It got extremely close to the point where I was going to have to leave with the bonus still running and a couple of hundred quid winnings in the machine. Imagine standing there swearing at the machine to end the fucking bonus lol.
Don’t use it on any gambling. Give it the wife to spend on the kids. Or better still, give it the kids to spend on the wife. If that starts world war three, split it and get them to spend it on each other.
Over the last year, whenever i’ve had a decent win (for me that’s about £300 +) i buy something with it. Won £500 on Texas Hold Em in WIlliam Hill last week and spent most of it on a sofa bed. For me, it’s better than just keeping it for extra money to gamble with.
I’m not a united fan but it’s frustrating listening to news reports and other fans talking. News report headline ‘Manchester united slip up against PSG’
Is it really a slip up? Was they really expected to beat the tournament favourites? Considering a few months ago they was drawing to Southampton and palace and losing to derby in the league cup.
Yes, the result should hardly be classed as a surprise or slip up. PSG are one of the best sides in Europe, while Utd are about the 3rd (at best) or 4t best in England.
I’m in no mood to gloat after seeing my team be lucky to get away with a 6-0 tonking last Sunday. From Terry, Cole, Lampard and Drogba to this spineless, sorry bunch who turn up when they feel like it.
Checking how the full the tubes were was a standard ploy cos you know someone’s dropped a big win if it’s empty…was also important to know when they were emptied and filled so you didn’t come a cropper chasing a jackpot from a ‘full’ machine that had been hammered and refilled by the evil engineers
I used to play in a Showboat arcade and in its heyday it was extremely busy and i was surprised how few bothered to check the tubes. There was another great machine i loved to play but can’t remember what it was called. It was great because you could get the £35 jackpot off the second lowest (from 12) feature. The regular features were blue but you could get them to turn red and into super feature mode. On red if you had the jackpot symbol in the window you took the feature and then in slow motion a light went round the window landing on every symbol so you just waited until it landed on the jackpot symbol and pressed stop. Easiest gamee ever to hit the jackpot.
I keep getting phone calls for a claim I supposedly have about an accident I was involved in that wasn’t my fault… The nice girl on the phone seems to get upset with my glaswegian humor… I swear a lot.
I had a call from one plonker who insisted i was involved in a car accident. For starters, i can’t even drive and after telling her this several times she still kept on and on saying her records showed i’d had an accident.
I had a text message from “barclays” a while ago telling me my account was being closed and I needed to send my details to get the remaining funds transfered.. I too have never banked with barclays lol I reported it as well b<span style=”font-size: 1rem;”>ut the bird on the phone didn’t seem too interested </span>
I hate that they target the elderly it’s the scummiest low life thing to do.
I had an email from Llyods saying exactly the same thing..
Fond memories being brought back in this thread. I remember always taking a peek to try and see how full the coin tubes were before playing them. Dont know how true it was but i was told that if you heard the drop into the bottom of a machine it meant the coin slots were full and the machine was ready to pay the jackpot. Rarely seemed to work for me tho.
I’m a firm believer in the old showbiz saying of always leave the audiance wanting more, I think Bandits 2 or sometimes 3 a week does that, so he’s got it right.
6th February 2019 at 2:54 pm in reply to: Fobts what do you think about the new spins will it kill the bookies #46824I’d love to see them keep the £2 max stake but increase the jackpot to £2000 or something. Its just not that easy to do though it’s a big jump between b1 and b2/3 machines.
An increase to £2000 is way to big an increase in one rise. However, an increase is long overdue and imho a £1000 jackpot would be about right.
Yeah, classic TV with brilliant chemistry between Cole and Waterman. Went downhill once Waterman left though.
I’m currently watching a TV show from 1979 which nobody ever talks about – Dick Barton: Special Agent. A wonderfully daft send up with deliberately wooden acting/bad acting that was perfectly played out.
