Not worth getting excited about it. After a few losses peeps will wish they had never been released. There are a few on test in Doncaster btw.

so are we talking 50p/£70 or £1/£70? either way it was a rip off and i will not even go down that route for my entertainment

That would be interesting to find out. Astra are advertising them as 25p/£70

I can only imagine that we will see a mixture, and they will keep an eye on what the punters seem to prefer.

It's entirely feasible that multi-stake multi-winline machines (like 1 / 3 /5 winline hi-tech AWPs) will see 25p / 50p / £1 with some enticement attached to the £1 (higher percentage, all cash and features upgraded, e.t.c.).

I'm surprised to see Astra offering a £70 lo-tech on 25p as I'd expect that to offer a terrible game, unless they've changed the win structure and frequency to some how make it more attractive?

The base game top prize is 15 quid, allowing for a better hit and more activity. The 70 pound jackpot can be won on the top game

Last time I heard, the beginning of June is the date for 70 pound jackpots.

Regardless of how the £70 jackpot is actually awarded, 25p stake is still surely going to offer a terrible game?

well not all true LOL its my m8 max playin it not me but the 1st time he played it (last weekend he got £180 from it as its a 3 player machine he got a JP in nudges + MS and a £40 win from a POT like win it has) he put around 60 in but i will agree the higher the JP the higher the risk

I will admit that in the vid (taken 3 days ago) that was his 1st quid in so its all luck really

I think one of my local arcades have one, it looks a lot like the divas reels or whatever its called. Id go in and have a look but they banned me for wining £140 on Party Time...

Just an update, it finally got approved in the house of lords, but now there a stupid 3 month wait, because of this EU crap. So that means it will be July before they come in.... sigh...

don't worry richard am sure you'll get your fix eventually pmsl

[CarlisleDave79]

Looking forward to the new £70 jackpots. Although it will be while before I streak any of them. Just hope they go no higher that 30p/50p0

£35 jp machines are cnuts so im sure the £70 are gonna b worse, i say to anyone out there who'll b tempted to push one of these for a jp dont stay to what you know unless you are earning twice as much money and dont care about losing.

[levartemit186]
