fruit machines

[saralynn]

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

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!

BEST ONES TO PLAY IN MY OPINION

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.

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).

I love the fruit games...I bet low though like $.50 bets. In my personal exp. they are either paying a lot or not at all ...nothing in between. I go in and if I dont get a bonus round or a decent win in 10 spins, I leave. Gee Gees has been quite the bastard but I LOVE the others.

Certainly do

Pity it all went downhill after 1996

Those ACE machines in the early 90's were great (especially Payrise )
It was one "emptier" after another, and then they went bust (I wonder why).

Barcrest and Bell "skill climbs" were good, and the set piece streaks on many games helped (very predictable on Barcrest, losing on numbers like 11 & 2 usually signalled the streak would be along shortly)

 

[LOOKAWAY]

Ok guys you can keep your tips and streaks.

NDE was the classic a real skill game. Cant beat it dont try just agree. :notworthy

i will admit i used to have quite a large problem with fruit machines but now only play at coast maybe a few quid in a pub but nothing like i used to....
50 in to get 25 jackpot and still get excited i hit it lol..............THOSE WHERE THE DAYS

I was a very heavy poster over there until I discovered online casinos and casinomeister.

With gambling banned in the USA...it's strange that we have UK fruit machines designed for kids to keep them busy while their parents spend proper money....... talk about encouraging gambling at an early age.....

The amount of times some screaming kid comes back to their parents because "some machine just took my money"..... while the parents slowly take a draw of their cigarette and say "uh huh, that's nice"...... then the kid continues to throw a tantrum. When you are losing money the last thing you wanna hear is a screaming child lol

Anyway... I don't like the online fruit machines... but I used to love the UK style ones. My fav was Monopoly 60, I used to make 40 a week or so EVERY week. There seemed to be a bug were collecting the first (and supposeably worst) feature would pay the jackpot frequently!

why cant they make online slots like them!!!!!!!!!!

 

[resigner]

why cant they make online slots like them!!!!!!!!!!

So what you want is a machine/game with a bug in it so you can win every time? Just how likely do you think that is?????

The ones on microgaming casino's seem to emulate the classic UK style ones, you get far far more feature entries but of course you don't win as much every feature. What I've noticed is if you don't take anything then you get better and better offers the more you play. Seems like you can even force them to the bigger wins if thats how you like playing. For me, US style slots are just spin and hope, while these have a bit more thought behind them, but you can still win, you just need to be a bit lucky.

Ahh, the old fruities.

My favourites:
The Italian Job - turn down red boards to activate the streak.
Up N Over - school boy programming, higher on 1,2,3,7,8 lower on 5,6,10,11,12.

Made a lot from these two machines alone

 

[brutaldeluxe]

You're not female are you Jody ? I mean females can't play fruit machines, that's like scientific fact.

No, I'm male... although my girlfriend may not agree with you on the above statement - she loves playing whenever we go to the pub. Doesn't do too bad either, she we will walk away very early if need be.

What a silly question

HE knows the "emptier" for UP N OVER and the streak method for Italian Job, so no way can this be a GIRL

This is what leads to the "bugs" in the land variety, they are rigged to streak and cycle. Sure there's not a bug or manipulator online

There is one HUGE reason for not wanting bugs in online games. With the UK Fruit machines, there was a limit to the amount that could be taken during an "empty", since there was only a couple of hundered worth of money in the tubes or hopper(s). If this happened online*, there would be no theoretical limit to what could be "won" during an "empty", it would have to be blatant enough for the casino to notice a problem at audit, and this would only happen, as it does here in the pubs and services, if players got too greedy and "emptied" the games completely, or too often.


* That is not to say it hasn't happened online, just ask the MiniVegas rep

 

[brutaldeluxe]

Aye but like does she really know what she is doing ? Can't see it.
Also any females that actually do know anything only know it because their partner told them. Females just don't seem to be interested in fruit machines the way young men seem to be. Of course grannies and machines in bingo halls is a different story.

Classic!!

Probably coz they have a lot more sense than us!!!

Hey and I used to love going to bingo. The Beacon in Cricklewood to be exact.

When I used to go, I used to cane a big spliff just before I went in and then drink myself silly on cheap beer. Ah, those were the days.

 

[Jody Nustedt]

Aye but like does she really know what she is doing ?

LOL.. Not at all!!! If she is awarded a feature of any sort she just stares at the screen blankly until I tell her what to do!

Occassionally we'll venture into one of the casinos in central London where she'll play the slots randomly changing number of lines played, coins and stakes. Quite amusing.

ALSO, she believes that she never wins using her own money, so I have to fund her.... convenient huh?

 

[brutaldeluxe]

Easy solution there. Just get her to give her money to you. Now it's your money.
You can then give it back to her and she isn't using her own money.

Gotta be careful in bingo halls. If you play a machine that makes noises whilst they are calling out bingo numbers you are liable to be beaten to death by walking sticks.

That's the way to go!!!!

Geegees messes with your head because you keep wanting to hit more and more in the feature, when at any other slot you would long take the win. It is actually a "frequent win" or "low variance" one if you take the wins.

Best thing is to test if it's in a payout mood and move on. When they want to pay, you know it! They will hit like crazy.

Living in a seaside 'resort' with more than it's fair share of Bingo Halls and stiffs - I know exactly what you mean!

[Nifty29]

I like them because they're different, and I usually lose on MG slots anyway and it does seem to last longer

Anyone ever hit the 500x jackpot feature???

Is the best strategy to forget the little stuff and keep spinning until you get one of the top features??

I've only hit it the once - and it didn't give me a repeat
(Which is a bit strange cos currys normally do... )

Absolutely!
All the features on this one are crap except Vindaloot & Curry go Round.
But I don't think you can force it, you just have to be lucky enough to be playing when it randomly decides it's going to pay out!

I was playing once when it went mental and it gave me some sort of a win on about 20 consecutive spins (including 2 x Vindaloot), proof, if any were needed, that these slots are totally NOT random in the same way as MG's video slots are.

It had probably taken alot of money from other players earlier in the day.

One trick is to turn the volume way up, and see if you can hear it "backing" as you make another deposit into the casino, if so, it is probably nearly ready for the streak. Provided you are not compelled to collect any of the prizes, you should be able to force it. You could also try turning down a few of the top jackpots, and then wait until it just spins straight in, as this should repeat until the casino is empty.

LOL, but where do you put the refill key?

 

[vinylweatherman]

LOL, but where do you put the refill key?

Easy, you can get a USB Refill key reader, and this allows access to the operator options, including when the last jackpot was won, and whether by KK or not. With the deluxe version, you can see the current payout percentage and the target percentage, and how much money is left in the casino, expressed as how far short of "full" the casino is.

Unfortunately, refill keys are specific to individual casino groups, and so far I only have one for Purple Lounge, but it works a treat on the video slots as well
