[£6 In Tokens]

:devil:

I am interested to know what has been your luckiest day on the bandits. Also do you prefer it when it was tokens instead of cash (I did) - Jackpots where less but more frequent + Your Top 7 Bandits.

My luckiest day ever was a 4p start:

Tuppeny Nudger - Drop a £2 Jackpot and a £1.60 - then a £40+ run on Hit The 6 and Crazy Reels - Runs on nearly every bandit in the arcade going home about 10 hours later with about £350+ cash and about £200+ in tokens - Pockets at bursting point - What a day.

The next day went back down the arcade and blew the lot - doing the gamblers proud (although I did exchange some tokens for a cuddly toy for the missus).

Top 7 Bandits:

Hit The 6
Bullseye
Rollercoaster
7 Heaven
Fairground
Gold Mine Trucks
H O T (Streak Machine)

Main arcade in Banbury shopping street - early 90s - what a haven of orgasmic machines, including the late and great FIREBALL with its multiple £4.80 token repeats on the three FIREBALL symbols. Best day ever was a bucketload of tokens after fireball went mental. maybe £60 worth. I felt very rich, and was able to use at other Quiksilver places in London to make some decent cash.

My all-time favourite machines:

1. Viva Las Vegas £6 early 90s - my all-time favourite, with the casino board the reward for escaping all those ? marks
2. Roadhog £6 early 90s
3. Caesar's Palace £15 - the best rapid fire ACE machine that was on the market late 90s. Unbeatable fun, but could be very expensive if feeling mean.
4. Wicked Willy £10 (Astra late 90s GREAT FUN)
5. aLADDIN'S cAVE £15 and related machines late 90s
6. Labyrinth £6 token with its fabulous board and spooky music
7. JPM Big Wheel when converted to £10 late 90s
8. JPM Snakes and Ladders when converted to £15 late 90s
9. 7 Heaven £4.80 token early 90s
10. Cloud 9 £4.80 and related machines. Beautiful streaks for those patient enough to wait.

Ahhhh, those were the days.....

Sorry, don't really have a best bandits of all time list atm but... regarding best streak.

Easiest was walking into Superbowl and telling the Doorman I'm going to turn £1.20 (6 20p's) into £50, he was just going on a break so we went to the arcade section and within 60p on Reel Money I was £8 in tokens better off. Ended on the £50 as this was the limit I set.

Regarding best, suppose this could go into the Fave Machine had to be....

ROCKET MONEY!!! Sooooo many features offered the JP if u knew what u were doing.

Good thing about this, back in the days of £4 Cash £8 tokens was the tubes, as long as the tubes were full it was happy. So.... Win JP, put £8 straight back in, machine is full hence happy, pays say £12 cash and another £8 to £16 off of the 40 plays. Pocket cash and repeat with tokens until cash empty, then ask for machine to be refilled as it is out of cash, and repeat lol

I know I've put this before (for those who have read previous posts) but the BEST ALL TIME was the change machine... Tubes had been replaced wrong, so £10 in 10 x £1 out, £1 in 2 x 50p out... fine so far... However... 50p in... 5x £1 out... Easiest machine to empty hehe. And being a regular and good citizen, I told the manager as I left that the machine was wrong and some little kids were taking all their money out of it
