Badly designed £5 machines are prone to this. Machines that were designed with a larger jackpot in mind, and the £5 option not being properly coded. £5 Barcrests have always been a bit dodgy. As robinhood said, it probably had just paid several jackpots and was recovering %.

I hate £5 Jackpot machines they always rip you off you have more chance of putting more than the jackpot is worth to even get a feature and this is on most machines. I remember whacking £100 through a £5 jackpot machine once and nearly every board was tacking £3-£6 to get a feature basically it was playing like its £25 jp Cousin. it was "Beaver Las Vegas" in a bowling hall in Northampton i have only had one decent experience on £5 jackpot setting and that was on a Party Time 3 player every win just kept going up it was going nuts. Anyway i don't play machines any more as i have said before i have seen the light and if i did ever again it would never be a £5 setting or a £70 these are the biggest rip offs ever.

I dont know what your complaining about really..all machines do this , pay out on cycles..just because usually it only costs you £9 for a £10 feature it dosent mean to say its gonna happen all the time.

I was playing the very same machine .. well not THAT one , but an All fired Up in Skegness when i was down there in the summer..one night i went in put £1 and got a £21 All fired up streak.

Next night went in..took about £12 off me for a feature that was blocking at about £2.40 , the fact is with all machines you just need to catch them at the right time..or have enough dosh on you to make them go on their run.

ive had a £5 jackpot give me 11 jackpots. based on 72% can you imagine how much that sucked off the previous person ?

What good timing for a thread about tight machines should be made at this moment in time! im currenty playing indiana jones on my laptop, classic version £10jp and ive put in now nearly £200 and STILL it wont give me the big repeater! Its offered me a few £10s on nudgepot but this machine has to be the tightest one going.

I've found the Bellfruit £5jp are very reminiscent of this behaviour. I remember once getting 'Go all the way' about 6 or 7 times on I'm a Celebrity Get Me out of Here back to back and getting over £40, the same happened recently on Jiggy Bank for over £30. However, despite realising these streaks, I was once stung on the Im a Celeb for £15, getting on the board and dying on the first go - they really are badly programmed machines.

Gave up reading after the first line of the sentence.

I've been stung on £5 jackpots many times. However I was playing Monopoly Road to Riches on £5, which normally gives you up to £1 before killing you and I got the top feature and it went for about £40.

Bet that didn't pay out for months afterwards!!!!!!

An other point, what's the funniest thing anyone has seen with a fruity? I mean, for example, I saw some kids lose all their money on a Cat & Mouse JPM a few years back (ok, probably longer than that!) and they started attacking it with pool cues. I found it hilarious, but the arcade owner clearly didn't!
