Ive had a very bad experience of Coliseum cash.I rate this machine the worst in history of fruit machines.2 weeks ago at my local dog track i watched someone smash in 100 QUID.

No jackpot always lost on 11 and 2.This machine should be banned.I changed up 20 quid after this guy started kicking it.He even called security to get them to look into it.I put my 20 quid in and lost.I wanted to stay but it was the last race.

Has anyone here had a major problem with this bastard machine??

Ive tried the emulation and cant get jackpot either.

Good site

...and thats why I stopped forcing machines for jackpots :)

It's not a bad machine, but a) Features such as Super Bar Series often give a jackpot anyway, and b) It is normally a case of someone having just streaked the machine beforehand.

Was the machine backing? And if you don't know what that is, then don't play em. If some bloke puts in £100, and you put in £20, approx hom much went round the back?

By backing I take you mean was the machine full as in the coins dropping over the top and into the bottom?

Backing?.............Nicely highlighted BarcrestBenito.....Gone are the days when a machine is full because you can hear it drop to the 'Guv's pocket'.....This is another tool used by the machine makers into making you put in more dough----

Well, modern machines do still take money round the back do they not?

The only possile exception I can find is Red Gaming - which seem to take the first £5 around the back whether or not they are full..i.e the machine will be backing and then seem to change its mind :S

P.S I understand that a machine backing does not necessarily mean that it has a higher chance of paying out, but if I put £120 into a bandit and it hadn't taken any around the back then something 'odd' would be going on :)

If the machine has not been re filled and is 'backing' or the coins are dropping then its normal thought that it is 'due' to pay as according to the machine it pays what ever %

But it might take 150 notes before paying this % - tho that must be fairly rare?

I have lot over 100 quid on a machine but have had a jp here and there, jut not a streak of them.

What about 'fake backing' where an empty machine deliberately sends every second coin over the back so you thing it's full or nearly full. Backing on a new machine is no longer an advantage to reach that elusive jackpot.

Suppose I have to agree, although I think its also more to do with the streaks that machines save up for, i.e 3xJP would require about £90 round the back if you were to force a streak.

It's something to do with the payout cycle as opposed to how much goes in it. If it's completed a cycle you could be waiting ages for a new one to start.

Everyone totally agrees with that, but when a machine is backing you would expect it to have got somewhere near that point....or as was also suggested--it isn't always what it appears when it's full....

I have a few selected words to say about this machine.


Utter shite, total unplayable, robbing , blocked to high heaven,possibly contains the worst piece of programming EVER seen on a modern day fruit machine.


Apart from that its great !

Ps, also seen a £250 club version of this called " gladiator ".The thought alone sends a shiver down my spine !
