Out of interest how much do you expect to put through a machine in order to force a jp?

From my point of view monopoly, psycho cash beast, high flyer (and clones) are all worth £35+, Once this much is in it is rare to get less than double back.

depends what sort of a mood it's in. i've put well over £60 in before now and been luck to get £25 back with no repeat. it doesn't always work. sometimes you can been there for ages and it ain't having any of it. i reckon the older machines are easier to force then all these new tech jobs on the take.

it can take 3 or more people hammering it before it'll pay out jacky. i've seen it. this is defo where 'just one more pound kicks in'.

Not totally 100% there. Here I've enclosed a RAM file for the following layout.

"" Fruit Explosion 1280DX "" which is the yellow cab version created by me old mate Pandy on MFME1.1.

Simply unzip this file and find the folder on your computer named Fruit Explosion 1280DX and paste the ram file on it's own into that folder, replacing your existing ram file. Load up the game and you'll see something very strange.

I've played over £300 through this machine absolutely refusing all wins. The 3xCHERRIES pay 'Mystery' and regularly offers £8 or even Jsckpot. Plenty of 'True Skill' on the bonus on trail No4. Selecter climbs high on the trail too. Now play the machine and try and force the jackpot repeater from the feature and not the HI-LO on the cash ladder. I reckon it's impossible. Remember, £300 in, absolute £0 out. Infact, if you manage to exchange from the cash ladder (£5 upwards), you will be blown out in just 2 moves on the feature board. Both from 'Fruit Preserve'

Have a bash. This is a right nasty bandit.

Heres the ram file:-

Remember, unzip it and place the 8kb file into the Fruit Explosion 1280DX file you have in your MFME fruit machine layouts directory. Don't try it with any other variants of this machine as it will only work on this specific layout.

Back when fruitys were 15pd jackpot (& enjoyable) i could happily take 50 pound coins round the pubs on a saturday morning & know that id be ok, without having to try to change up & risk being poached or refused.

If i still played them today (i dont) i would take double & still not be confident that id have enough. I've put well over 50 quid in a couple of the newer barcrests on a drop to get jackpot. Back when they were 15pd jackpot & good machines you could guarantee it before you'd put 30 quid in, depending on what mood they were in, with a better chance of a run.

Compost,
I've just stuck another £100 through the machine and although I have been offer JP Repeat from mystry win (well jp and hi/lo on a 12) I cannot get it from the feature!
Thank god i have necer come across this machine before!
Althoug, I have come across supercharged and almost walked away after £70 in and refusing wins, lucky got jp+rep + JP + £10 back...phew.

I also saw a guy at my local snooker club playing maygays clubn italian job, it offer him £150 on the cash amounts which he refused (he was about £150 in at the time) It took another £400 for the JP. Gutted

Seeing this machine (Fruit Explosion) as a classic case of a machine that just cannot be forced, theres stacks of others that simply will not pay a jackpot repeater from the feature board. At least now you know it isn't a guaranteed cert getting a JP from a force. I reckon when this machine eventually gets to pay out and reclaim it's true percentage, I reckon it will throw out all wins except the JP Repeater. It's as if this win is permanently blocked.

Incidentally, I landed a 'Jackpot' from mystery with a number 11 on the Hi-Lo. I went lower and it gave me a 12. So only when the machine has it's back up against the wall will it move on to the Jackpot Repeater.

Considering theres no guarantee that the JP Repeater will in fact repeat, £300 in is an awful lot of money to try to see if it will.
