Recently joined a bingo club and they have millions of fruit machines with various jackpots! Great fun but hard on the bank account
Anyway recently been playing a game on one of the Barcrest £70 JP machines (£1 stake, but can lower to 50p for £35 JP and accumulate up to £70 if you're lucky enough!) which has a game called 'Extra Ball Bingo' on it.
Some of you are probably familiar with the game but basically you have 4 bingo cards and the machine generates some random bingo balls which are marked off your cards to make prize lines etc, then hopefully you get treated to to 12 'extra balls' to try and win the JP or some decent £20 - £30 prizes.
I've emptied this machine several times, the other day I got 2 £70 JP wins in a row!
Anyway tonight I couldn't help noticing the club had 'standalone' Extra Ball Bingo machines where you could stake £1 or £2 for £50 houses but there were pots of money on the top screen? I put a tenner in but didn't even get any extra balls so went back to the multi game machine, then I heard a person scream 'OMG £2k!!!' and it turns out one of the standalone machines was displaying 'hand pay £2k'!
So could anybody explain the differences between the 'standalone' machine version of this game and the one on the multi game machine?
Cheers!
