jeez that forum is in a foreign language Well to me anyway. I'm getting the gist, but what's with the "red" thing? Red is obviously good...but what the hell is it?

And when you're forcing, do you play to bust or jackpot every time? Very Martingale

When I lived in Georgia we had some pretty good machines at some gas and convenience stores called "Hot Spots". You gambled with money but you couldn't win money because gambling was illegal. Instead, you were supposed to take your winnings in gas and items from the convenience stores. Few wanted to do that, so the stores also offered gift certificates for the bigger wins, a minimum of a $50 cashout. Those were what you wanted as they were for WalMart, Target, Home Depot, etc.
I did quite nicely on these, but then the government took them away. Gambling still isn't legal in that state. But of course they DO have the state run lottery......

As a "retiree" from UK machines I can attest that the best players out there EASILY made £20000 a year and some over £50000. If you were lucky enough to discover a trick (Faault or other way of emptying a machine) you could make even more.

My best year was over £50000 and that was the year of ACE's hidden treasures machines. Happy days!!!!

Those treasures were great. Pity I had a job and didn't have them locally to analyse. I fould out the first method just as the patch went in, but I caught the last month or so of the "Payrise" method. At £1000+ in a week up the motorway, with much competition as well, £50,000 from someone with this method early on could be considered to LOW, rather than an exaggeration!
This was before the net though, but nowdays the methods burn out very quickly once out in the open. I have been unable to make consistent profit since the abolition of Tokens, and the removal of the skill based features and the introduction of software £3 blocks on all the features however high up the ladder they are. the "force" is the only way to overcome this, it breaks down each software block in turn till the machine streaks. If caught right, the streak pays more than is put in to force it out. At the now ubiquitous 70%, even this method is hard. if they were set to the payouts of the £500 games (90% to 94%), the skilled players could still win easily.

UK Fruit Machines do NOT offer deposit bonuses, nor do they give comp points for play. In mitigation, the software is not up to the standard of the online casino, as only £200 or so per machine is ever at risk from a bug, and lifespan is short.

After payrise spot the pea it was the "switch off" method (You get a win on the payline and just switch the machine off. You get the win but the machine didnt update its memory!! And that worked on ALL aces, maygays and JPMs for 6 months!!! I found it late but still did ok

That takes me back, good years indeed. More money than sense then but it did help pulling the ladies back then

I don't know much about fruit machines. I knew they were rigged, but I never understood why they were rigged in a way that allowed skilled players could win.

I think a lot of the 'backdoors' tend to be put in deliberately by the coders so they can exploit them personally, or sell them to those who will.

Do you know how this thread makes me feel?

F*CKING JEALOUS!

Why was I never aware of what was going on? (well done mates )

Not that I ever lost money on these machines I never played them because I knew they were rigged.

Quite liked the quiz machines though, but that is a different story.

That sounds like a complete lack of quality control.

[KasinoKing]

So what you 'experts' are saying is, there are no ways to exploit the machines these days, and therefore any slim hope I had of ever recovering the £10,000's I've lost on the darned things has flown out the window?

Well thanks a bunch!
