fruit machines

Help!

Can someone explain to me how the fruit machines work. Any clues as to their workings will be gratefully accepted.

If you do not know how to play these machines, all to the good. Leave well alone.

I believe they are their pension fund.

If they were in the pubs in the UK, they would be on the road. Thrown through the window.

I have put over $500 in "The Gee Gee's" and "Treasure Ireland" and had a very poor return.

I have played fruit machines all over Wales and England and never had a problem with winning on them, but these are in a world of their own.

Got the message "LEAVE WELL ALONE"

Very true, lol

This is the way you play them:

1. Put your money in.
2. It disappears.


ok seriously though, I don't have a clue - but once I got lucky in Roxy Palace playing Game On. I was betting only 25 cents and I kept getting the feature. Got it appx 8 times within about 30 spins - came out with over a $400 profit betting a quarter. Maybe I would have done better if I'd known what the hell I was doing...? But that game is probably the easiest one to figure out.

Actually it would be cool if someone put together a tutorial for some of the more complicated fruit machine. The GeeGees, for instance - the feature in that game is whacko - you don't know what to do and never know if you're getting something good or not. I always just hit the spin button til I lose.

I've done well on geegees. Never played a real fruity. Vinylweatherman is the 'local' expert on these. But his website seems to be woefully out of date.

If you mean online ones - like those at Microgaming, then the above posts are pretty good.
Unlike their regular slots on which the spin of the reels are totally random, any described as 'fruit machines' or AWP (Amusements With Prizes) work in a totally different way. It's more like a lottery; when you hit 'spin' the software decides if you will win & how much, and then spins the reels accordingly.

At the end of the day, they still payout around 95% are still random in a way - but a different way to regular slots.

I don' think I've played that one, but I have played Cash'n'Curry and Stallionaire quite a bit. These two slots are actually clones - exactly the same except with different symbols. And your strategy is spot on - just keep hitting spin & don't collect any features except the last two on the board. These are the only ones which ever pay anything decent - all the rest are horse manure!

Yes, vinylweatherman is the expert.

After speaking to him at the atlas I would have to agree he is the expert!

it is my opinion that YOU LUCKY BARSTARD, Game On, Chavin It Large are the only ones worth playing because you are sure to win big if you hit the bonus round(they have a similiar bonus feature).

I have found they are REAL streaky. But if you hit the feature finally, say on a $1.00 bet. Keep playing a few times at 1.00 and then up it to 2.00.

I have noticed that it goes in two and I usually hit it again within a shorter time.

Game On seems to hit more frequently and also you don't have to accumulate 3 wins before getting the bonus round.

I would like to know what the "hidden features" are on these games. Anyone know all of them or any secrets that the rules don't state.

Not yet

It seems they are not the same as on "proper" fruit machines though, as I have tested a few of the usual suspects. I may already have found them without knowing, as what might be "hidden" to an American player would be "bleedin' obvious" to a UK ex Fruitie player (not that I'm all that much of an "ex" - ask the staff at Clapham Junction platform 16).
