I've re-registered and downloaded the app - all seems fine.

Have had a play around with all the games, and I admire the effort but there's still bugs with the actual game play and authenticity of the machines being classed as 'UK Fruit Machines'. It's very rare to see fruit machines offering you holds on numbers, but not actually trail holding. Anyway, so far I've been awarded £2.40 for a Triple Red Bar win (£10) and not been credited the Jackpot despite having it on the winline.

I have to echo this. I played around 50 virtual quid through Cops and Robbers. I think it offered me £3 once. App runs fine, even in Windows 7 but that's where the fun stopped for me. The game play was pretty much non existant, and seemed to emulate the most irritating parts of more modern fruit machines such as:

Poor gamble numbers to get to features, every time (best I have was a 5)
No hold after nudges
Immediate loses on 1 roll in the feature
No (or at least I couldn't find one) slow down for the skill options
Constantly getting 1 square away from the feature, but then hold+no numbers or no hold
Hold after nudges also didn't work.


I only played that 1 machine, and maybe the others are better but without the gameplay, for me, it's not something I'd spend time or cash on.


On the plus side, the machine looked good and had great sounds. It was also very responsive so with gameplay tweaks it could be amazing!

I played the UK slots for a bit but they annoyed me so I played the pokie type ones and I'm about £2k up!

There's a bug in the Red Alert type one that when you lose on the board the JP values flash up quickly as £25 when they are £15 whilst you're on the board.

Yeah, it does, surprising no-one spotted that.

It's about time that UJ was up and running but I can see that they have been putting alot of work, time and effort in order to make the site and the Client software usual, all-in-all it has been worth the wait, but as already pointed out by Duplu, there are still some issues and area's that need further work, but this is where we as community of experienced fruit machine players can provide advise and pointers that will aid UJ in the future updates of what they provided so far..

I am currently playing Treasure Island (Free Play) and have reached over £90,972.24 if only this was real money right now... what fun I would be having... (See attached image)

Enjoy..

I'm not sure if this is a genuine mistake (more than likely though) but I remember one of the owners claiming that all the machines would be duel stake/jackpots, so the £15/£25 maybe there to implement this feature?

Bearing in mind that all gambling sites have to be 'independently regulated and tested', as the games are now, surely the 'independent test' would be highlighting all these minor flaws? Or are the test merely to test the fairness in payouts?

i've had a go on them all, interesting.

Doesn;t say anywhere what the slots pay out. help files mention 80% (which is for the fruities). i severely hope the slots are 94% + or they won't get played at all.

Curenntly the slots they seem to be paying about 400%, "enhanced" reels until the real play comes in then the reel sets change no doubt

4 re-triggers in one lot of 13 free spins is pretty epic though!

Like others have posted, I ended up getting frustrated with the AWPs and moved to the slots.

That's the problem though, this whole project was supposed to be bringing Pub fruit machines to the Online world, but it's almost as if they've gone out of their way to make the Pub machines so shit you want to switch to the slots games.

All bugs aside if you look at their Cops n robbers machine, once you look past all the graphics and sounds you can see just how bad a design the feature board is. There's no fewer than 11 ?'s (8 actual ?'s and 3 move back 3 squares which land you on ?'s) plus 2 skill stops strategically placed close to ?'s
And if that wasn't enough to put you off you've also got a copper chasing you that never seems to stay too far behind.

Strange that peter.clayton isn't on here defending the site this time round like he did 12 months ago.
At the moment, if they went live with the machines like they are (fruit machines i'm on about) then
they'd be bankrupt in days.

I get the feeling they are trying to get people to "beta test" for them. But if you're developing fruit machines,
surely you have to have SOME idea what they do... whoever has been in charge of the ones on their site
is either blind, stupid, or both...

Sorry if that sounds harsh, but they are so, so, so far from a proper fruit machine.
Give up guys, or get someone on board who knows what they are doing cos the current staff certainly dont
