My online slots videos (plus UK AWPs)

Cheers dunover that came in handy, especially the 'Stereo Mix' device as I'd disabled that on my laptop and PC! (I spent a while scratching my head as the game audio was recorded at 100% irrespective of what I did before enabling and then switching to Stereo Mix.)

This is the first video recorded with the new mic, it's still not perfect as I realised afterwards I should have had the high-pass filter enabled on the mic, and I still need to finesse the physical positioning a bit as well too, but overall the results are good. It's a really nice bit of kit, I know £200 isn't cheap but it feels like it's worth it.

Don't you believe it!!!! The terms are king and I kept the money!



The sound is very good, more depth to the voice.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Laptop and mic update. Please contain your excitement.

 

[goatwack]

That laptop looks like it came from the future to point and laugh at my one

Laptop and mic update. Please contain your excitement.

The sound is 100% better - you don't sound like you've been inhaling helium any more, it has some bass and proper vocal range. I could be wrong and coincidentally when you got the mic you bought some looser trousers too, but whichever the voice is far more defined.

Comin' at ya' like a 1981 hurricane.

I like the mouse

 

[goatwack]

Pfft, mouse with a laptop. That's like drinking beer through a straw and having one of them umbrella things

Seriously, that was one of the best machines around at the time. You pretty much had Bell Fruit and JPM at the time, and JPM were streets ahead of BF stuff. The gamble was brilliant too. I can't remember which machine it was, but one had massive round plastic buttons, and it was so easy to get it to the top, win the first gamble, keep the button held in, and keep tapping it with your other hand while very slowly releasing it, you could win loads. They actually brought a mod out to change the buttons on the cabs to the ones in the video that stopped you from doing it. The coin mechs on some of the early JPM's were poor too and you could click credits by using an electronic lighter, although that mainly affected games like space invaders MkII, Galaxian, Moon Cresta etc than slots.
I still play some early JPM stuff, like Lite A Nudge, EW Nudger at a local arcade sometimes and can still remember the reels both on these and the early Bell Fruit ones!

Edit the big buttons were EW Nudger



That guy has some good machines!

Last night's BIG REAL MONEY online slots session.

FRUITS (No Limit City)
BONANZA (BTG)
TAXI MOVIDA (Booming Games)
TOMBSTONE (No Limit City)

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Probably the last true skill UK AWP machines ever released....

 

[geordiecolin]

I'm still quite pleased with this one, truth be told.

First time around I wasn't even trying to beat it as such, it was only when I came close on the first attempt and realised the potential of the slot 'Hole in Won, The Back Nine' that I formulated the plan to have a proper crack at it.

Nice work. Do you recall if they did pull that promotion soon after you cashed out?

It was not really that surprising given that they knew you had posted your exploits for all to follow in this forum. I did watch this vid but I closed it down before it got to the above summery. I'm loving your incites

Another classic old UK AWP has been given the DX layout treatment.

I'm planning an online slots session over the weekend, if I can build myself up to setting fire to a couple of hundred quid.....

One of my all time favourites, Big Bucks by JPM.

 

[Jono777]

I used to love that fruity also. Could get the JP from the red lines on a few of the features and the good old 'cancel' button tricks.

JPM made some great machines with streaks around that period, Big Banker had a great token run, IIRC this was out and about just before the Rollercoaster era

 

[lordblucan]

This is bringing back loads of memories. I used to own quite a few AWP's when I was a teenager - don't know how my parents put up with it as they were all lined up in the hallway! The ones I remember owning were Monopoly (Maygay), Make a Million, Popeye (JPM), EW Nudger, Indiana jones (JPM) and another I think was called High Spirits. I also had a broken Eastenders that I never got working.

Did anyone here used to be part of the MFME community and Fruit Forums back in the early 2000's?

Yes I was around from day one, I set up the original MSN Fruit Machine Emulation Community, and my website was the Web Hovel Were you around back then? What name did you go by?

 

[Jono777]

Whilst we're on the subject, few ROM's I have never come across and wondered whether they were ever done?

Cash Force (BFM £4.80 token JP)
Up N 'Over (Barcrest £15 JP - pre chip version)
Lotta Luck (Barcrest £15 JP)
Blue Moon (Barcrest £4.80JP)
Sunset Boulevard (not the 'seaside' conversion, the original £4.80 version)
Hi - Rise (I think) (Barcrest £4.80, one with 2 x Hi-Lo reels)

There was another couple also, I think they only ever made it to late testing stages and were never widely released, both by Maygay in the early 2,000's one was called Codename in their visions cabinet and the other was very similar to Screenplay but with much more features, almost like a "Screenplay II" but cannot recall the exact name, defo token machines to both and possibly two of the earlier £6 token releases????

Cheers!

Yes, used to read the hovel every day back then! So you're Alex Maroney, I had no idea... Funnily enough, you changed my username at fruitforums to the one I'm using here now lol. You must have been a forum admin there at the time. You probably won't remember me though as I wasn't that active on the forums compared to some. Can't remember what my previous usernames were... I had a few.

 

[lordblucan]

I actually went looking for the hovel earlier in the year and found it backed up on another site. I think it was dadsmfme site.

All done apart from Cash Force which I've never heard of before, are you sure that was the name Jono? Was it a lo-tech or a hi-tech?

I don't think we've got the 'doable' ROMs for Up 'N Over where you could reverse the numbers, unfortunately, but a long lost ROM set will occasionally turn up!

I made a video about Blue Moon

 

[Jono777]

Oooh Nice one matey!

Yes, defo called Cash Force, one of the first machines me and a good friend used to play when we first started out slotting.

BFM machine, bonus overlaid on reels along with numbers 1-6 was the trail, 7 onwards was the features.

Best I recall features in order were, Best win in view, reel match, Skill Challenge (this was true skill and we got very good at it!) Hi-Lo Cash, cashpot and Big Money (£2.40 repeater which could repeat like forever lol)

Treasure Chests were the Jackpot symbol and again as best I recall, the cabinet was a front opener. had the typical BFM symbols, orange, plum, green melon and golden bell along with the "Big Money" logo as the top paying cash symbol.

This would have been as far back as 1991/92.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Blimey yes you're right! Apparently a very rare machine according to this chap.....

Doesn't seem to be emulated as far as I can tell, likely the ROMs have never turned up for it. There are a few very similar machines emulated though, such as Cash Attraction.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Here's Cash Attraction, which is emulated
