Yeah the blocks became a lot more rigid when they went to cash.

You could have pockets full to the brim of tokens and easily convert them to cash or more tokens or a split depending on how you wanted to convert them.

The main bonus being that feature costs were cheap so you could easily collect a few quid here and there and it would soon add up.

Obv in a pub it was different, but in an arcade there were loads of options to choose from.

Not watched yet but I made a LOT more from the £4.80/£6.00/£8.00 token machines than I did when they became all cash Jackpots.

That's very much not the point of the video though. Being able to win in the token era through tricks and emptiers, token/cash manipulation split etc is a player advantage, and one that was usually done at the expense of the rest of the clueless/addicted player base. It doesn't make the machines 'good'.

The blocks became a lot more apparent largely because the jackpots got bigger. Remember, Maygay brought the 'hard block' model in during the £8 token era, with all wins over £4 being rigidly blocked, and because they couldn't implement it properly, they also created a whole generation of fuckable machines - like this one.
