I was reading the other day about how many machines particular arcades/clubs can have, and it appears that an AGC or BINGO premises can have upto 4 b3 machines OR b4.

B3 being the £500 £1 a spin old random machines
b4 being £250jp club machines, also max £1 a spin

was thinking about seeing a club cops or club temple or even the CPCB down the local arcade!

Yeah i've heard of a few places have these in now. Not been put in any arcades near me as yet though. Don't see why not. I think they'd take a few quid. Especially the more popular ones.

Do they take much? I'd have thought so. Maybe some arcades just don't want to make room for them. BD. Cool machine. Played the £5 JP version a while ago and loved it. Never seen the clubber anywhere near me.

Shipley's here in Solihull has a club deal or no deal - no bothered with it yet - although saw someone have £100 off the offer the other day.

Might be tricky with all the licensing issues involved. But maybe if £500 machines eventually start to lose a bit of their appeal, some of them could be replaced with a few clubbers. But at the moment as B3's are still such a profit maker, they're still taking centre stage.

yeah couldnt agree more, bacta are pushing for the increase in stake to £2 again, and i also see that they want the pub/arcade jackpot increased to £50 also.

I can't see the £2 stake being allowed again to be honest.

Is the licence for a club machine still £1800 ?

£50? Blimey. Why is that? Also, do you reckon B3's are less popular? Must admit don't see as many people playing them as section 16. Even though they're the same games i guess it's the little differences that some people don't like. So i reckon in the not too distant future some of them may be taken out and replaced with clubbers. Unless the law changes again and £2 stake etc comes back in. At least with clubbers they're not completely random and people won't be putting a fortune in to force them.

Yep had a £500 club Deal in my local Newcastle arcade for a couple of months now. The machine loves giving 4 red 7's for a £200 start. In 2 months nobody has had the £500, the staff tell me many people have had a good go. I once spent £300 and 4 hours trying to drop it without any luck.

The machine does give some nice offers when you have the larger amount left.

I was playing the other day and was offered £125 when i only had £30 and £200 in play, no way was i going to deal that offer as it was way over what it should have been and my gut was correct £200 in my box.

The machine has some great tells as to if it is in a good mood.

I've just done that very machine this morning, jacked it for £500.

Seemed quite happy and managed for force it out cheaply. According to the staff, no-one had yet had the balls to "no deal" the big offers when the £500 was still present on the board.

At 80% payout I still think the machine is a nasty piece of shit and apparently it had taken thousands without paying the £500.
