Sorry a bit late to this thread <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/smile.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-shortname=":)" /><br />
<br />
I'm a part-time semi-pro UK fruit machine (AWP) player, insofar as I make consistent profits on them and have done for years - albeit on a fairly casual basis.<br />
<br />
A few key points:<br />
<br />
1) UK AWPs are COMPENSATED, that is to say they actively seek out their target percentage and previous play does affect future play, the machine 'knows' what it's done before and also knows how far it wants to let itself be pushed at any given time. They are as far from random slots as you can possibly imagine.<br />
<br />
2) They are vulnerable to manipulation/cheats/trickery to a frightening degree. In many cases, if you don't know what the 'shows' are (whether or not to play), and the 'tricks' thereafter (how to get the machine to pay out before it really wants to) - you will lose lose lose and you will lose horribly.<br />
<br />
Sometimes these tricks/cheats/rips/traps are the result of coding errors, sometimes they're just outright corrupt and deliberately coded in.<br />
<br />
3) <b>There are large numbers of true pro players who will travel hundreds of miles in a day to seek out their preferred machines</b>. If a 'good' machine is covered by a pro or two, no one else will ever get a look in.<br />
<br />
There are plenty of videos of me jackpotting/mega streaking AWPs on my YouTube channel, note how the same machines seem to turn up again and again, that's not by coincidence.....<br />

<br />
Here's a £156 megastreak for example, remember that this machine has an RTP of just 76% and is COMPENSATED, so you really, really don't want to be playing this afterwards, or indeed until it's taken over £300 back.<br />
<br />
Quite a nice raise for me though <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/smile.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-shortname=":)" /><br />

I used to do the motorway networks before I got into the online scene. Things seemed to go downhill around 1996 with the £15 jackpot and 30p stakes. I hardly play at all, and when I have I see "dead" arcades, which means the machines see little action other than from the "pro" players.<br />
<br />
I have only ever managed to force DOND to give a single £70 on the streak, and almost all seem to have been "done" before I arrive due to the "shows" they are giving, or not giving. It seems the £70 rarely repeats, and I thought legislation was introduced to cap this at 1x, for a max of £140. Good job the £250 hopper is in more general use now that all machines come with their own note changers.<br />
<br />
It seems clear that a general "trick" exists for DOND, but it seems to have gone the way of the old Pie Factory trick, everybody knows it, and they all get hammered.<br />
<br />
The coding cheats seem to be available for a price, but if someone is willing to sell, not sure I want to be buying at that stage in it's life, as operators tend to "chip" machines much sooner after a problem emerges. In the old days, such tricks could survive for months. It seems the internet made life much tougher, and machine operators got to hear about the tricks sooner, without having to spot them being done on site.<br />
<br />
The path to real gains seems to be getting in early, or even being the one to discover the trick.<br />
<br />
I have often thought about doing another big tour of the services, but with it being so easy to travel the cyber highway and visit so many "services" whilst still in my pyjamas, and only feet from my bed, I just haven't got around to it.<br />
<br />
I DID discover a trick for a few early Mazooma games, but it was more about following the "shows" and knowing what to do rather than making the machine pay "too much". I discovered that forcing out the jackpot also set off the streak pot, and it was far from obvious as it often did so via a "silent invincible" board following the forced jackpot, and where many players might have just taken the jackpot and walked. This "silent invincible" had to be played a certain way, as it was not a true invincible, and you could lose and kill the streak (or delay it) if you got it wrong. I never saw any one else doing them, pro or otherwise.
