Don't know anything about these online fruities but i know if i had my own personal machine i wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

snap nowadays, now the only time i would consider any form of online gambling is when a new casino offering a "no deposit" bonus appears, that way its no risk to the pocket, and you do have a chance of getting money for nothing (considering you meet wagering requirements) although the whole id factor has stopped me getting paid in 9/10 circumstances where iv met the wagering requirements

Remember kiddies, don't forget the magic formula for working out the Percentage Payout for your particular session (this assumes that you plough all payouts back into the machine once the initial stake is exhausted until nothing remains).

PP = SOAP/(IS + SOAP)

PP = Percentage Payout
IS = Initial Stake
SOAP = Sum Of All Payouts

Simples. Although, that said, it's not so easy with these Fixed Odds Betting terminals as any payouts are added to your stake money. But on an old style 70% AWP MPU5 fruity all wins get put in the win bank.

Here's an example:

Say you start with £100. You load up your credits and play. You get £120 back. Shove it back in. Get £140 back. Shove it. £100 back. Then £80, £80, £50, £60, £30, £10, £0.

IS = £100
SOAP = £120 + £140 + £100 + £80 + £80 + £50 + £60 + £30 + £10 = £620

=> PP = 620/(100 + 620) = 0.8611 = 86.11% .... A good session

The formula is only valid if you walk away from the machine with NOTHING, having knackered the Initial Stake and ploughed all Payouts back into the machine. So you walk away from the machine with nothing. Then you can use the formula to work out how much VFM (Value For Money) you've had.

Because you should never forget that gambling should be fun.
