Chatham and Southend With Bucket, Tommo, Will and The Shockster

I still need those sound ROMs from Cashino. Theyll go well with the classic layout I did last year.

Thanks lads for coming down and getting some nice footage. Always looking to improve on machine quantity and quality as you know James. Cheers for bringing down the reel motors too managed to get Rev up and running 😅😅😊 Shame it didn’t play that well in the end. . But glad you all managed the odd streak and run of action on video as it will silence the haters 😁. We aim to not to be like the standard 70% seafront mentality. Albeit very difficult for us to offer extremely high % for a single site independent arcade we do aim to provide a fair game for our customers. Highlighted in your vid by repeats and runs 👌🏻🤗 more old skool games forthcoming mate and look forward to you visiting again. Alan FANTASIA

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

I will always support the retro scene where I can mate and it was my pleasure to bring you a couple of motors down. I've given you a very obtainable list of stuff and hopefully your plans will become a reality. You are a top guy and a great host, hopefully you will get some fresh faces popping in to play some of the machine in the future.

Lots of refurbing and bulbing coming very soon too 😜❤

Aw me man the good old Sheik, that's one machine I clean forgot about used to love it back in the day. Only ever saw it on a 15er though.

[@Davidp1985]

@@JamesHardyFruitMachines my memory is very vague on it, but I'm sure it used to have an invincible board with the name on the machine flashing and it would usually give you a repeat. Don't think it had a streak or anything though I could be wrong.

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

Tommo said he reconned that £5er gave him £20 or £25 in repeats on the JP before but I only really used to play £15's myself. I'm sure it said "shazam"

Are these arcades gonna put the jackpots up from£5 now they’re over 18 only

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

That's all down to the licence the individual arcade has whether it's an FGC or AGC. Machines are not over 18s only. However arcades under Bacta have signed up to their voluntary code of practice to not allow under 18s to play low jackpot machines. Personally I would leave Bacta if I had an arcade. The people at the top of Bacta have an agenda with regards to ticket redemption and its in their interests imho.

[@Crazy-Reels]

@@JamesHardyFruitMachines yep i agree getting kids addicted on the basis of winning a prize on ticket machines which you can pay for out right miles cheaper as they are set to a shocking 30 percent 😡 great upload and look forward to future vids buddie 👍

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

Buy a lottery ticket or a scratchcard at 16 but not play a 10p slot but you can spunk a 10er in a ticket slot in 2 mins? Bacta are in this for their own gains quite simply its disgusting.

[@Crazy-Reels]

@@JamesHardyFruitMachines i agree fully mate and i feel bad for correcting a fellow youtuber but lottery and scratch cards are now over 18s 🙈 yep they have there plan with ticket machines and thats what most arcades are leaning towards now as they are earning a fortune and sad to see really 👍

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

Was 16 last time I bought one 😂 I assume smoking is over 18s now too? 😂

[@brookseyladalex4142]

hi pal was thinking of buying a fruit machine but doesn't have keys. is it possible to get more? just wanted to pic your brains. Thanks Alex

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

Some machines have generic keys but the easiest solution is to buy a hsc drill bit and drill right through the centre of locks (not your refill key, some people do this by mistake) and if you want locks, buy some off ebay and fit, they don't cost a lot. Personally for home use I don't really see the point of locks myself.

James,was that lady luck you were on a good programme where it does it's little streak when it comes straight in ?

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

That ver didn't seem to, the first ver came back in from the hold after the feature ended when it teased for the streak. Can do some big runs those.

[@davidmellish3295]

@@JamesHardyFruitMachines yeah the first programme you could just knock everything back till it came straight in which was guaranteed to repeat then maybe come in again. You could then suck all the features outthat you knocked back. Take all the direct nudges for features first (5/6 times ) then you got your let em spins and holds to take. Didn't matter how much it cost knocking it back as you'd get most of the money back from collecting the features so the streak was the profit

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

I was up a rather large wedge (paid for the entire weekend) mate but I had to get to Southend as I was easily the last to leave Chatham, so you can't have missed me by much. I did grab a board from the Cops though but wasn't full. Shame mate would have been awesome to finally meet after all these years.

[@richardg5571]

Ye I was there yesterday mate, got a top out the revo and a couple out the hi flyer! That 35 bullion bar was a killer although I can’t attest to my knowledge of playing those lol, as evidenced by me leaving a quick jp in it!

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

I had a very nice result on the Flyer when I was there (coming up on Buckets channel), I do enjoy the machines currently in there tbh there is a fair bit to be going at. I don't really bother with the low techs other than the GGs.

[@whatwhatwhat8908]

Shame that Revolution was dead starting 1 and 1 when you got the nearest win setup. Otherwise it would have survived higher than a 2. A rare £5 High Flyer at the end there. Must be that one in the Southend arcade, think it's Electric Avenue. Poor £12 Series though!

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

1+1 didn't mean it had to kill me but yeah likely to, I should have stepped to the 1 when I had the life and gone higher and higher again but it probably made no diff. I had already bled it dry by the time I potted it. Dunno if it was hearable on the video but Tommo does say I had potted it twice before I got the win series (annoying because they usually go £20 plus on £5 flyers).

[@whatwhatwhat8908]

@@JamesHardyFruitMachines Yeah it probably made no difference because it would have killed you at some point. They can do 1 and 1 boards when they got value but when it's dead the boards will be 1 and 1 and it will often kill you after stepping to a good number.

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

Yeah we used to call it killing safes, time to walk unless dead rollling, have had dead rolls from that one before, was annoying to get a selector board though right after a pot and it not be going.

[@whatwhatwhat8908]

@@JamesHardyFruitMachines Had loads of them dead rolls on Golden Dragon in Felixstowe in the past. Once put the whole £25 jackpot back before it gave the top! I'm sure it gave the maximum though which is £60 I think. Always take the top on normal not red for the maximum opportunity.

I think you'd have to bare in mind its a £5er, nothing wrong with collecting spinners, you'll generally not lose playing that way plus the pay off to forcing it can be crap too. I had a crazy streak for something like £6 off the one at Bognor. I'd only really consider pushing it if it was taxi starting from first board.

[@johncashbeast5057]

Nothing against you mate love the videos I would always go for the feature bellow crazy streak on the 5£ version I can't remember it now it can give you a fiver and repeat loads tho or JP and flash after
