Say hello to this beast, BFM's Casino Grand Slam, a £1000 jackpot (!) fruit machine from 1998 that, and you're never going to believe it, they fucked up and was emptiable.....

 

[Reelsoffun]

Oh dear chops, that was a cringe worthy last few mins of the video, you 99.99999999% threw away a jackpot there, and the way it looks there’s value of at least another one after that probably two with a set of bells included.

The ROMs we have ending 2267 are the earliest and are indeed from late 1998 oct/nov and was shown on the ones I played when they did refills.

I was doing these and made a lot, and was and still am banned from grovesnor casinos to this day, but I’m 99.9% sure it wasn’t an emptier in the full sense.

The float on these was only £1050 (800+250) so they did empty all the time, but only if they had value in them, if it had just taken all the value out you couldn’t do it.

But what made them feel like an emptier was they could have an exceptional amount of value in them esp if people had forced them incorrectly like someone like you for instance LOL or had left it after getting a jackpot, often leaving plenty of value still in it, so they were rarely left in a position that a “professional” couldn’t extract some value out even just after a jackpot.

We had 2 of these side by side when I worked in the land based casino industry.

VERY popular and the "profit draw/box" took some dragging out the machine on collection day lol.

Pretty sure no one knew anything regarding exploits on them which is surprising considering they were occupied daily from open till close.

*Side note: Does anyone recall a Barcrest from the same era, £1,000 Jackpot also which had a lengthy feature type trail up the top glass, Pot Symbol was the yellow Barcrest money bag, that's about all I can remember, we had 2 of these also but cannot recall its name.

Yes, he did a video on that a while ago - was it the one where you could use nudges to force the cashpot out?

Not 100% mate but think this Barcrest I'm trying (and failing ) to remember didn't have a cashpot.

Trail with increasing nudge, cash and feature awards, alongside a cash/gamble trail (bit like Psycho Cash Beast Club) ??

 

[Reelsoffun]

Quite a few of that era

Costa del cash
Bank roller <<< maybe that one

@ChopleyIOM sent you a pm

 

[Jono777]

Costa Del Cash seems to ring a distant bell, so possibly cheers! - Now I've been given the 'nudge' I needed, pretty sure it was holiday themed, which fits.

Basing this convo on a job I left in 1999 so given my memory could have been bloody anything.

Some games I do recall as if It were yesterday we had in the casino, Pharaohs Gold, Cops N Robbers, Lucky Strike, not to forget Casino Crazy which I feel everywhere seemed to have at one point lol.

There was another VERY popular clubber, £250 pot which had bottom and top reels were Bar-X style but also stacked symbols where a full screen of bars was £50 and X's £25 (5 lines top reels) seems someone was forcing it (or trying to) pretty much every night.

 

[Reelsoffun]

That sounds like " Club X " to me

 

[ChopleyIOM]

So someone's posted a video response to my video, he hasn't detailed the whole thing but as he's talking through himself playing the machine, you can see how he basically knows exactly what it's going to spin in next, up to and including stake switching to £10 at the EXACT PERFECT TIME to land the £1000 jackpot on bells.

He also knows when the reels are 'dead' and to stay on £2 spins, only switching stakes when the reels are in a setup that can give a win, he also knows the likely sequences it's going to follow.

He says the best he ever managed out of these was clearing £17,000 profit in a single day, and ended up banned from entire casino chains across the UK.

Good video!

And this folks, is why compensated machines are a really bad idea. There are some absolute horror stories around Grand Slams and the kickings they delivered to people who had no idea what they were letting themselves in for.

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

Ur forgetting the horror stories that random £100 can deliver also!!! Not to mention £500’s and online.

I’m well into double figures on the amount of times a random has wanted a 1000X plus just to give a feature ffs.

Good video that tho. Just goes to show what was possible way back then. Serious money.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

If you'd like to see dear old socialist Chopley get his arse handed to him on a plate by the sinister machinery of the Capitalist system of oppression, this is the video for you!

 

[Reelsoffun]

I have only played the skys the limit game once, was the online one and was quite a while ago but it took 500x off me without the main feature, never played it after that, dreadful game.

In fact several mates have all had same experience on it, none of them have ever won even an tenner and have all said the same thing, how it ever gets close to its RTP is a mystery.

Doubt you’ll ever give it another go either but would love to see a vid of it actually paying!

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Follow-on video for Grand Slam.

Interestingly, and slightly sinisterly, the video showing the stake switch for the £1000 jackpot has been deleted off YouTube. Fortunately I'd already taken a copy of it.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

I get comments like this left on my videos from time to time, in the case of Grand Slam, we're talking about a machine that was released in 1998......

-------------------

Yeah the cloak and dagger is real and your content is fucking irritating, master player secrets being known by cretins is a big no no. No good comes of it.

 

[Jono777]

Can understand where this clown is coming from to be fair Chops.

Videos disclosing cheats and disclosing information are potentially taking money out of pro players pockets, being as nearly every pub, club, night club, café, bus station, train station, chip shop, market, community centre, bingo hall etc has 3-4 of these machines lined up lol

Similar story for online exploits as well, the more people that know the higher the chance it will get fixed and/or found out.

not sure if this was before EGO's time but there was an exploit on one of SkillOnNets own games where it could be exploited for massive profits. I knew some people who exploited this but only told me about it after it got fixed but the people who were privy to the info made middling five figure profits from it. It was 6-8 years ago so can't really remember but I think it was either a glitch where reloading the slot would re-generate the win again (repeatable) OR it was a progressive feature that you could load up with lower stakes and then change to a massive stake for the trigger. Whatever it was the slot became a literal infinite money glitch.

It's a bit desperate really isn't it, not least because the specifics of how to do Grand Slam aren't even in the video, but some people really can be incredibly precious about this stuff.

Moreover, I have steered away from information that was actually current over the years, for example I had the Powerplay/Batman Power Up methods when they were very much a real thing in the pubs and arcades, and I didn't do anything about them on my channel because that would just be a bit twatty.

Apparently there might still be a couple of the lower jackpot Grand Slam clone 'Hot Six' around, tucked away in social clubs or suchlike, and as far as I can tell they never got rechipped, but when we're talking about machines this old there has to be a point that you just let it go IMO.

The emulator's author, Wizard, used to ask that the 'three year rule' be observed, which meant that any machine younger than three years old, even if it could be emulated, shouldn't have a layout be publicly released for it.

When it comes to Grand Slam, this was a machine that was released in 1998 and then was all rechipped and done by 2000/2001......

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Bit of a Jackanory video this time.

You can decide if you want to believe the tale or not
