i`ll give my honest opinion of blackpool -

rowq upon row of utter pile of poo machines, poor payout coupled with markets that sell cheap tack. most if not all staff in arcades or restaurant were simply quite rude with not an ounce of customer care in mind.

If you live in blackpool then this post is not aimed at you, but the amenities. dire old machines such as robin hood, crazy fruits red hot knights the list goes on. if a trip down memory lane is your bag then blackpool is the destination for you. as for money, you will spend just as much in blackpool as you would in spain for 2 week all inclusive.

that said, i think most seaside resorts are the same, high prices with little or no return. this is a real split between inland amusements and seaside resorts. inland they have to quite literally keep you in there, free drinks, tv, sandwiches bingo free draws, the list goes on - whereas seaside is 72% payout where possible, 88-90% on the b3 machines (with such poor options as haunted house, cashino, monkey business etc etc). extortionate prices for 5 fecking doughnuts, fish and chips a rip off aaaggghhhh

rant over. geez i should start to write for the web hovel, alex used to love a good moan up.

We all differ with what we like/dont like-Yet Blackpool was r family destination yearly.So kinda been my 2nd home.
Its only the changing time and people that have destroyed the image and reputation it had.

Slots of fun,the last time i was there,the tuppenny cracker was behind the chnage box anyhow,so would be easy to take pics of that.

Everythings moved now, even the cash box... Tuppenny cracker is now in front of the cash box. But sure he wont mind being asked if you can take pictures...

To be fair, you can't find old machines here anymore. In fact there's about 3 arcades that have 1 crazy fruits each, which is a BIG difference. Thats just an example, but you are right with the money spend, you can end up spending masses if you aren't careful! Percentage wise is based upon arcade. There are about 3 arcades that are fair, the rest (ie- 3piers, mr T's, Lucky star, winter gardens) are 70-72% they are most probably the ones to avoid if coming to Blackpool!

Better watch Tommy...you could end up like this guy lolol..



Although i think this is fake,,,

[tommydee]

Love the vid todd, gets kickled to fek and goes back and plays the machine,

What is Tuppeny Cracker, I dont recall this machine

[treasure island]

Is that from Cash is King Mr C???
DX on the way by any chance?????
Love that slot

Tommy C would you like me to take some pics of our Cash Is King? No problem to do, can do that tomorrow?

We have just uploaded a video the other day of it...



It is the £5 version, but we do have the bigger one available it is set on £15, however will not be able to access that until I get round to it.

My experience of Blackpool was years ago, so my input will not really be worthwhile!! LOL! Big Dipper was good fun though...excellent Nightlife!

Also as for Duty Free I have several software versions on some disks if you need do improve a dx.

Yeh, there is 7 (including the tiny one in the shopping centre) 6 on the prom. Viva Espania is in one called 'AJ Ryans Snappyland'. Thats also probably the best arcade there. They have old machines from Colossus, and viva espania, up to deal or no deal... I could name them all if you wish. The owner said all machines are 80%+ when I spoke to her once, which I would say is right as they play well.

'Oasis' is ok, the rest are crap. Never really busy, so the locals tend to pley them out!

Yes I would agree it is the best one Aj Ryans as you say there is a bit of everything old and new and really good payout percentages, Deffo 80+ as you say. I would say most are around the 86% mark. I go a few nights a week there and everyone gets a fair game. Also the owners offer decent coffee and look after you. Also Seagull amusements is a well run arcade.

Was in blackpool about a month ago ... tip STAY OUT OF SLOTS OF FUN...He is the dodgiest guy ever. I played 3 machines which underpaid when paying out. After the third time of it happening i went mental and he went to the 3 machines and yanked them forward for about 15 pound coins to come out each (i was only due about 2 from each)

Tommy its right in the town centre on the prom. I dont know how well you know the place, but on the prom there is a clock Tower. Its just a little further along opposite the Eric Morecambe Statue.
