My online slots videos (plus UK AWPs)

[Playford7]

Just wondering if you fruit guys have any vids or info on ‘funny money’ used to love this fruit.

I was by no means a player, not even a cluey, but had steps loads of times back in the day for £12 !

that was like 6 pints in my local years back, think the JP was also 15 at the time.

i used to love that fruit, also wipeout.

Emulated with a lovely DX layout

(Wipeout is emulated too.)

I've covered these old Impulse machines in a video.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

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

Yes there is a club version called 'Trailblazer Club', I've got a layout for it that runs in an older version of the emulator, set to 50p play with a £1000 (!) jackpot.

I put a shitload of money through it over the years and have it saved out where it's ready to climb out the jackpot, I'll be doing a video on it in due course.

Legend! Cheers chop,

Will have a chill and few beers having a watch this evening after the daughters gone.

Have you tried the emulator out Ben? Everything on the Fruit Machine Emulation scene is completely free of charge and there's nothing too complicated involved in getting it up and running, all you need is a Windows 10 PC or laptop. (Doesn't need to be anything too powerful either.)

Pretty sure I’ve used it before when I was a member of JPF.

love some of the older fruits, as said never a player in the sense of the word but loved to have a play.

be ideal actually to get it downloaded on my laptop as I’m in the apartment at work this week so give me something to do of a evening mate, you got a link or is it still fruit emu if memory serves?

Here you go

 

[dealer wins]

OMG I can actually play that again, I love this machine. Thanks Chopley! much appreciated

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Just a heads-up I've converted it over to work in the newest version of the emulator, which also fixes the issue with the attract mode lamps not looking correct in the old version as it didn't support dimmable lamps. (In the video above I'm using an old version of the emulator, but someone over at Desert Island Fruits pointed me to a thread where the fixes were described.)

As downloaded using the link below, it's ready to climb out to the £1000 jackpot

Your best bet would be to grab the fixed version of the layout, I uploaded it to Desert Island Fruits here -

Tomorrow mate via text they said.

Tomorrow mate via text they said.

Just stay positive and the test will be negative, but in a positive way.


My brother did the test last week when he got vaccinated.
He works in elder care, and they are among the first to get the vaccine, and they had to take a test in connection to that.
Sister has done 2 home tests, she works within the school and has to take a test every time she gets the sniffles basically.

Cheers mate,

my work mate is in a really bad way, he’s just messaged me there.

he’s only 20.

had fuck all prior conditions or bad health before.

so before all the pricks on here say
‘see we told you so, or try to have a go at me’

I’m already well aware,
my main concern is the kid gets better as has a wife and a little girl ironically named ‘belle’ also his birthday is the same day as mine, so at the moment my thoughts are with him.

my Covid previous points I’ll happily address at a later date, I’m man enough to admit when I may have been wrong.

sorry bear, wasn’t a dig at you mate, just thought I’d say what i did here rather than a new post is all pal.

Is he actually ill, or in a bad way mentally that he's got it? Either way its not good obviously

He’s bad col with this, like getting worse by the minute as the poor kid told me..

he’s rang and said sorry to me as I’m having to isolate the poor sod, obviously I’ve told him not to worry about a thing.

work the cheeky cunts told him he’s only eligible for sick pay! I’ve contacted our boss and quoted many government not only guidelines but law.

they eventually agreed he should be paid in full and will email him this tomorrow, HR clearly not happy with me on a Sunday but I’m sorry it’s not right telling a kid who’s bad as fuck he’s not getting full pay during a pandemic..

not sure where I stand as not had my result yet, will be tomoz.

I’ve zero symptoms and could fight Tyson, but according to the guidelines as work told me to self isolate I should also be paid full pay?

I only sorted the kids situation out, not looked at mine yet mate.

will cross this bridge tomoz after my result via text.

sorry for my attitude regarding corona, looks like I made a very big and naive mistake.

ill make a proper thread about this when my mate is ok col, I was wrong.

but now isn’t the correct time.

Not good mate. Certainly no need to apologise, I do think part of the problem is the media in this who rarely focus on non deaths. It's all well and good saying it only effects 80 year olds but it doesn't. The chance of death is much higher with them, but you rarely see the damage it can do to younger people. Think I've said before, my fit and healthy friends were knocked for 6, couldn't barely move for days, and still now, 4 months later struggle. I actually asked her Friday, she said her bf is pretty much back to normal now, apart from his taste and smell, which are there, but things still taste and smell either weaker or different. She on the other hand still can't do anything energetic without getting badly out of breath. If she goes in the shower, gets out, gets dried and dries her hair, she has to sit for 30 minutes as she struggles to breathe. She said she cleaned the kitchen windows inside and out and had to lie down for an hour, usually she does all the windows in one go and then more cleaning like hoovering and stuff no bother.

I do worry about long term effects of it, especially on younger people who have had no symptoms, I have a feeling it's weakening people, while they are young and fit they don't notice but it might show the damage when they get older

Fingers crossed for your mate, hope he recovers pretty quickly mate, and big toes crossed that you get through it with no symptoms if by chance you do test positive

I think it's just SSP you can get but believe you can apply for a £500 one off payment if you are on a low income (which doesn't seem to be specified) or on UC. That is if test and trace have told you to self isolate

Many thanks mate,

I do feel terrible now in regards to my attitude towards how I held myself about corona and some of my post, Iam sorry for that.

and will make my own thread after I get my results and see how my trainee is the poor kid.

honestly I can imagine people thinking ‘ ha now he’s been proven wrong’

but i couldn’t feel worse, just as Covid ain’t touched me or mine since the outbreak I felt invincible, I was a utter fool and Iam shamed and no matter what anyone calls me on here for it now I’ll take that on the chin col, I can’t defend what I said no longer and won’t.

the media are a joke and yes project fear is massive, but behind the media BS some poor twat is in ICU without a breath.

for the record I’m not proud of myself one bit and should my daughter read some of what I posted regarding this when she’s old enough she would be disgusted with her father.

I’ll look into my £500 payment mate tomorrow, I’ve got HR calling me at 9 about it all.

cheers for the help and not gloating that I was wrong, terribly wrong.

I just hope at the moment that young kid I work with is ok, it’s all I can think of and how utterly idiotic I was, Jesus Colin it scares me how I just brushed this off like it was a cold.

I’ll update tomoz when I get my results, I’ve had to open a drink tbh.. really feel like terrible mate.

 

[colinsunderland]

I think you know I wouldn't gloat about it mate, it hasn't crossed my mind once, would much rather be arguing with you about it for months to come than someone get seriously ill to prove a point

Maybe either @dunover, @Casinomeister or @dionysus could move the last few posts to the coronavirus thread seeing as thats where i thought I was posting rather than take this one off topic, sorry guys.

Strictly more UK fruit machines for this video.

I'll do another online slots session at some point but TBH I'm pretty much exclusively a 3Dice player at the moment, the shady shit going on with RTPs and 2000x stake feature buys and all the rest of it is just leaving an overall sour taste in my mouth, and I'm finding myself disinclined to deposit.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

First online slots video for a few weeks!

Can’t believe you got a almost 1000x win first attempt!

enjoyed it however mate, also the chance of getting 5 scatters in normal play isn’t possible, if it is then it’s in the realms of not worth trying for.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

A very good weekend at 3Dice!

Just bringing this thread up to date with my latest videos, a couple of these have been linked elsewhere on the forums.

Chop any interest in the new consoles, thoughts on which one you prefer the look of? not to divert this thread but would be interested to hear your opinion, I think obviously the world situation has dampened the public enthusiasm and media coverage that two new machines would normally generate, I don't even know what the sales of them are looking like, just my sense it's been a bit of a damp squib.

 

[Kroffe]

Isnt it still hard to get ahold of them?
Unless you are willing to spend extra monies buying it from a scalper.

Looking at Swedish retailers, you will have to wait months in some places if making an order now.
Not really planning on getting either at the moment, can anyone of them really beat my 2007 xbxo360?

Used to be all for xbox, but have drifted more towards PS these last couple of years.
Was never a fan of playstations controllers, but now they are basically the same as xbox controllers, which is nice. =)

I did see something about stock problems this week, I wonder how they compare spec wise to each other, and what the pc equivalent hardware would cost.

TBH mack I haven't paid a huge amount of attention to either as it's essentially impossible to buy them!

Doubtless I'll end up with both eventually, as both have sufficient compelling first-party exclusives to make them worthwhile. My first choice would be the PS5 though, as that's where the majority of the games I want will be exclusives.

Neither have much if anything of 'must-own' titles at the moment, so I don't think there's any massive hurry, although the upgraded versions of last-gen games are quite appealing to me, especially being able to play something like Ghost of Tsushima at 4K/60FPS on PS5. (Ghost of Tsushima being one of my favourite games of the previous generation and indeed one of my all time favourites.)

Specs wise there's really not much in it (same as last gen TBH), they're both essentially PCs in small enclosures running an MS/Sony operating system. (Gone are the days of exotic architectures such as the PS3's Cell Architecture or the Sega Saturn's dual-CPU architecture that was notoriously hard to program for but offered superb power for those coders who could tap into it.)

As soon as stock becomes more readily available I'll buy them both, and they can replace my existing XB1X and PS4 Pro underneath the big telly!

 

[Kroffe]

Pc will be more expensive if you want to be able to run the same titles at the same level of graphics.
$499 ( think thats what ps5 is selling for) wont give you much of a gaming pc.
If building a gaming pc, you will probably spend $499 on the graphics card alone.

That said, other than graphics card, things are not all that expensive.
Been a while since i had a look around, but if you are willing to put it together yourself you can probably get a decent set up for $1000-1200ish.
Wont be able to play all the new titles on "ultra" settings, and still wont measure up to the graphics coming from consoles, but you would be able to play most games on decent settings, and you can use it for other things besides gaming.
Like paint3d.

 

[paul7388]

No idea when stock for these consoles will be available in UK.

My boy wanted one at xmas but anytime some came in stock they were gone almost instantly. Some more were in stock at end of January but you had no chance of getting them.

He said he wanted one for his Birthday and said no chance you will get one.

Anyway he may be a bit Autistic and not the brighest at some things. But yeah he got his Xbox. He phoned me at work couple weeks before his Birthday wanting me to transfer him the money as he could get one.

Told him no way he can get one as nowhere has them. He was like i can get one long as i pay the money. Do not know what he had said to them but he had been in chat with someone from the Microsoft UK site. And they told him long as he paid the money they would get him one shipped from elsewhere in Europe as no idea when any would be in UK again. But he would need an adaptor to plug it in in UK so they ordered it for him.

Was like Jack you sure you are not getting ripped off. Anyway just over a week later it came. Pretty sure if he managed to get one from them anyone else that desperately wanted one could manage it . Never found out what he had said to get it but certainly worked. Or maybe he just got a nice helpful chat agent.

 

[paul7388]

Like paint3d.

Maybe the console would be better for us if it has no paint3d.

[mack341]

I heard good things about that ghost game, [I've got a bit behind on following all the gaming developments] that they made the fighting system challenging and enjoyable

Sony seem to have the edge on the exclusives, quietly gone about it but setting the benchmark. I'll probably wait another 5 years and buy one when the price is halved! I still haven't unboxed my xbox one s, must do that soon, got over half a dozen decent games to get me started.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

On the PC hardware question it's almost impossible to buy graphics cards at the moment as well, as crypto miners are buying them up en masse with bots or direct from the manufacturers. When the Bitcoin bubble bursts again (which it will), expect to see the second hard market flooded with graphics cards!

What few are making it through to the normal supply chain are generally being used as part of full new system builds and sales as that's where the higher margins are.

(Honestly, go to somewhere like Overclockers or Scan and try to find an RTX graphics card that's actually 'FOR SALE' as opposed to on pre-order or 'available soon'.)

There is a bit of availability with older graphics cards, and that's where a sensible PC purchase might be at the moment, this month's issue of Custom PC for example has a gaming PC for sale at £899, completely pre-built, using a last-gen Ryzen 5 3600 processor and a GeForce 1660Ti graphics card, that'd actually be a really solid buy for a 1080p gaming PC.

My current PC is 3 1/2 years old now but I specced it up very well at the time, it was a 100% custom build by Scan - (this is where you specify every single component in the PC and they build it for you, a younger version of me used to love doing PC builds and manually overclocking using jumper settings on the motherboards etc but I just can't be arsed these days) - and is still holding up well now, I haven't had to upgrade a single component in it.

 

[mack341]

Yes it's quite good fun researching a new pc, then using the customise option and they build it for you, the pre built gaming PCs on sites like currys seemed to have improved too as when I was looking to buy a PC in 2012 they had very little.

site is good for comparisons. ]

I never knew the crypto mining folk were now buying up most of the GPU stock, looking at the integrated graphics on cpus and the best one I can see ( rx vega 11) is only just a bit short of my radeon 7770, which is some achievement.

That google stadia doesn't seem to have taken off afaik, as it was kind of predicted to be the future of gaming in that you wouldn't need an expensive PC or have to keep upgrading to play the latest titles.

Can you do a video about the rivalry of players , was there beef between people from different areas that thought certain services or sites were “their area” ?

I have heard about people sabotaging buttons to stop other people playing after them, Was this sort of stuff common ?

As an avid 'clued up' player back in the day (although in hindsight I missed a lot also) yes there was a lot went on.

If I sat and thought about it and also had a catch up with my ex-slots buddy, I could quite probably write a book lol.

Quick couple which spring to mind was the chewed up Galaxy chocolate in the coin mech and one pub in particular where we quickly had to order bottles of Budweiser, not because we fancied another drink but as the quickest thing that sprang to mind to be able to protect ourselves!

LOL... superglue the start button in, so anyone put money in it would spin continuously and any holds offered couldn't be taken. If a feature came in it would collect first flash. I remember once swapping the spade connectors over when an engineer had a machine open and went to the toilet, so the pulse slides for the 10p's and £1 coin tubes were reversed. Collecting 80p wins continuously meant £8 lol. Trouble is, if it forced £2 on you, you only got 20p.

Another one you could do was have a couple of flat lithium button cells on you. If you got the chance, swap the one on the circuit board for a dead one. This meant every time the machine was turned off, it couldn't remember its state of play and would reset. So imagine the last video @ChopleyIOM put up where after 'reset' it would be happy to let you get 2x Crazy Reels features for guaranteed profit....

Almost EVERY club fruit and AWP had that same property - after 'reset' it would be happy to allow a brief spike by whichever method you applied, even the old Bar-X Electrocoins would 'go above' before settling and reverting to the usual vomit-mode.

 

[Spikie]

How do you get the chance to swap batteries on the circuit board without anyone noticing ???

 

[dunover]

How do you get the chance to swap batteries on the circuit board without anyone noticing ???

It simply clipped in a little blue lithium cell, or a silver one. In arcades quite often you would have engineers in who would go off to take phone calls etc. I never did this, but saw it done once.
