My online slots videos (plus UK AWPs)

Just keeping this thread up to date:

Everything that's right and wrong about compensated games, encapsulated perfectly in a single machine.

On the one hand this isn't a dirty 'cheat' style emptier, there's no corruption involved, and genuine player knowledge and skill are both required to consistently win out of the machine, making it highly entertaining and challenging to play.

On the other hand, a player of that skill level can leave behind a machine that is completely on its arse and will well and truly destroy whoever is unfortunate to come along and play it next.....

From back in the days when Microgaming's 243-way stable of slots was considered pretty spicy and high volatility.....

Thunderstruck 2
Immortal Romance
The Finer Reels Of Life
Playboy

In quad-slot play in the soon to be killed off MG Viper download client.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

BTG's new game SLOT VEGAS, also a 243-wayer I rather like called BOOST IT.

An in-depth look at two old UK AWPs on a £6 jackpot.

One machine in particular is very rare, cost hundreds of pounds for the guy to get hold of, and required a round trip of hundreds of miles! However, once obtained the ROMs and resources were made available for emulation.

I really enjoy your videos Chopley, takes me back to the good old days when fruit machines were actually fun!

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Thanks psyman, I've not been doing as much content for the channel recently but if you have a look through the archives there's plenty of fruit machine stuff in there, and I've divided the channel up into four different playlists

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Some coverage of the latest RTP reductions.

Also a new slot I rather like, along with a decent paying feature I landed on it last week.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Unchipped early ROMs for a £15 jackpot UK fruit machine have been found, shenanigans commence.

Had a couple of these for real back in around 2001/2002.

 

[Jono777]

YES!!!! - This is the one I've been waiting for!

I made a small fortune from these back in the day, they easily kept me in spending money for at least 2 years, along with Lotta Luck another Barcrest.

I would love to have one of these machines at home.

Ps: About 18 years too late but you could comfortably go higher on '9' and lower on '4' and its rare it would lose

 

[Jono777]

@ChopleyIOM - Try the '4' and ''9' on the emu and let me know if it works please?

It hasn't behaved for me so far on those numbers, but I wasn't massively far from a factory reset on the machine when I made the video.

I've currently got autoplay lumping away at it to get it properly settled down and I'll have another go at it once it's had a few hundred quid through it.

Someone has left this comment on the video though

 

[Jono777]

Pretty much my experiences what they've posted

We 'perfected' the empty as we progressed.

To start we had hopper keys so could get an idea how close to the £125 full it was without even spending a single £1 or sometimes even ordering drinks

Travelled here, there and everywhere in search of these and in UK founds LOADS, Stafford, Shrewsbury and Chester being our main 'Gold Mines' lol. Once a week, usually after a weekend fill from what we referred to as the 'pay day addicts'

Watching your vid, I don't think it ever lost as much as your short sample, seriously, 4,5,6,7,8,9 would very rarely lose and after 5-6 JP's we also leart that 3 & 10 would do you, unless you now applied the reverse to those numbers also.

Another thing we found was to get rid of the change numbers as early as possible, having a '2' on one reel and say a '4' on another, we'd change the '4' most times it would drop a '1' for a no lose and quite often the '2' for the pair match.

I don't think many 'normal' players ever JP'ed these as the streak kicked in 7/10 after the 1st Jackpot.

Best I recall was one in a Weatherspoons which was really playing up, £15 in for a JP and taking the lot back to get the next one, all of a sudden it repeated and repeated and repeated, gosh knows how many times but it went totally empty and we even had a small IOU from there (which we've still not been to collect to this day )

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Some excellent advice there Jono, it seems to go on a sliding scale of misery (from the machine's perspective!), whereby it'll start reversing on 4/9 and then on 3/10.

I've got mine 8% over percentage now after £1300 through from a factory reset, and can still consistently win on it. Once it's at 'minimum happiness' you're quite right, change numbers are largely a liability as it doesn't like you having them, so just get rid and try to get a PAIR BONUS or set up the hi/lo reels as you want them, and then reverse 3/10 as well as the mid numbers. 4/9 actually seem dodgier than 3/10 at this stage.

The best path is for the notes, using the NO-LOSE GAMBLE square to guarantee the last two notes, as five notes is the jackpot repeater.

Truly fascinating machine and so strange to see a compensated machine tie itself in knots like this one does.

Thanks for the extra tips!

 

[Jono777]

More than welcome buddy!

We used a similar route but would play for the ladder JP, rather than the notes.

Straight across the bottom row until 'bonus' then up to the 3 bonus nudges, right to the bonus the up to no lose, usually have the JP by then

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Thanks Jono I'll give that route a go

It seems to me that sometimes it's worth reversing on 3/10 and sometimes not, I know you said reverse of 3/10 'after 5 or 6 jackpots' but is there any way you can tell on the board if it'll reverse on a 3/10 or not, or is it just a case of taking a punt?

I'm definitely going to do a follow-on video for this machine thanks to your information here, the comments left on the video, and the chat a few of us had over at Desert Island Fruits (UK FME forums), and I really want to try and nail down what makes this machine tick for the video, because there's clearly more to it than I was aware of back in 2002 or so (and when I made the previous video!).

 

[Jono777]

IMO the reversing of the 3/10 are more or less a "last resort"

I'd personally Hi-3 and Lo-10 as you normally would for 90% of the play.

More or less when you would be ready to leave the machine and you lose on 3/10 (or even 2/11) then I'd try one more board and this time reverse the 3/10.

To be fair in my experience reversing 3/10 was only viable when the machine was basically "on its arse" so we'd only ever do this once we were well up and the boards were taking longer.

Having had more time to reach the darkest depths of my aging memory, that session in the Weatherspoons where it repeated so many times is where it was showing "CL" (cash low) and I had a '3' which I felt was going to lose so I went low, got '1' which ensured the final jackpot which then led to that I.O.U I mentioned lol.

Mentioned the resurrections of this slot via your video to my mate who used to play them with me and he said this was one of if not the best empty we ever came across in almost 20 years!!!!

 

[CasinoNinja]

I wonder for you old fruit slotters, my mate has got the classic Indiana Jones machine.
But getting the streak on that seems almost impossible, is there any videos out there where someone has gotten the streak on the machine? I've found nothing.

Funny you should say that

TL : DW - No one has ever, ever, seen it in normal play, we ended up hacking values directly into the machine's RAM whilst it was running in the emulator to see if it had even been coded in.

 

[CasinoNinja]

Very nice! And that was some pathetic win series!

 

[ChopleyIOM]

New Rick & Morty slot recently released, not live at all casinos yet, I'm playing it at Unibet in this video.

Standard Blueprint style fare, but a decent theme and loads of features going on. Top win so far according to the built-in leaderboards is 1505x stake.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

A great old Maygay AWP is resurrected in the emulator, with the sound ROMs finally being found some 18 years after the technology the machine runs on was first emulated.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

@Jono777

Special mention for you in this one Jono

 

[Jono777]

Excellent @ChopleyIOM ^^^

 

[dealer wins]

Great video, really decent fruitie too. Wasnt there a club version of this , I sort of remember it, and it being quite fair too!
