Has anyone EVER got a repeat on JP on any of these? This is an absolute joke...apart from the fact you can put £75+ in one of these machines, and get on the board move twice and get fked off, ive NEVER had repeat on any of em.

If they never repeat, which im sure of, how come theyre allowed to advertise it as "+repeat" ?

+ repeat chance...means just that " a chance it may repeat ", all be it a small chance...take my advice...keep your coin in your pocket and after a few weeks but yourself one of the said machines and play it to death in your own home.....at least at the end of the day you can empty it and not have lost anything.......except the electricity running costs ;)

I never got the JP Repeat on modern machines [although I don't play them anymore] - I once went on a Doctor Dosh, and had 2 simuntaneous IMs and a normal board for a JP - thats 3 jackpots in the space of about a fiver, but NONE of them repeated.

You would assume the 1st JP would have repeated twice for £75 - but no, it just kept offering single JPs!

If you notice, several machines such as those by IMPULSE will NOT give the JP+Repeat from 3xJP symbols, they only give it by reaching a certain feature. I think the £25 JP isn't suitable for a JP repeat TBH, due to the money involved.

Take Monty Python on £15 JP, often gave me an IM and a JP Repeat, which would repeat twice for £45 [huge in 1999!!].

Thesedays, a £25 JP couldn't even repeat ONCE without hitting £50 - £5 more than 2 Repeats on £15 JP!

Call me old fashioned, but I'd love to see pub machines restricted to £10 or £15 JP, and only have £25 in arcades :o

The only recent (ish) machine i ever had the repeat on was barcrests high flyer it had just been put in to my local bookies got the jackpot on superhold and it repeated TWICE for £75 i couldnt believe it but apart from that you rarely get bugger all.

I used to own impulses hurricane and i experimented to try and get the repeat on that i had to refuse about 7 jackpots (usually get to 99 nudges and nudge in a pound) and also refuse at least 3 IMs then it might repeat

Vamp it up, All fired up and clones of will NOT repeat on the jackpot.

Anyone who says otherwise, well i would be astonished to be honest !

I wonder if Barcrest have finished cloning this one yet ?

At least they are cloning a machine which probably has the most playability of all the barcrests about at the minute!

What excuse do vivid have...................................

I have to confess to really enoying Vamp it Up, Hot Stuff et al, as they could be forced for a single JP or a Streak from about £25, and it was fairly obvious as to when they were 'ready' -

I'm still looking forward to seeing what Barcrest do with the Maygay group, should prove interesting!

yeah i love playing them, but when they go into sucker mode its an absolute joke. like i said for a machine to take like £70 without even offering a bronze streak or anything more than a £3 board is a piss take.

I appreciate that its £50 if it repeats, but why advertise "+repeat" if it NEVER EVER happens?

I recently had a true skill Take Note feature on the £25 RED X machine
(I know it's not any listed, but IS a £25 JP machine) that repeated... always nice having a true skill repeat hehe :)

I still say go back to the £4 cash £8 tokens machines with tubes, as once you'd won ya £8 you could stick them back in and the tubes were full again, hence paying out JP plus cash wins, it wasn't a quick method, but you can easily get £60 at least from each machine (not bad off of £4 wins) as long as you can get the cash tube refilled.

Going back to the +REPEAT comments...

as RB said, it's a 'small' chance of repeat unless the machine is MAJORLY due.

should say JACKPOT +No
or JACPOT + Spin
as thats what it really means.

these machines are not designed to repeat, depite it offering the chance as they do not have a large streak in the profile, unlike say for example addams family, or as was said before big cheese, top dog, etc. the biggest is likely to be 42 off the vamp it up streak. however they are great machines. if you know how to play them several features are jp capable and it is possible to rip jp's very easily, from inputting far less than £25.

Well, couple of points :o

On Vamp It Up + Clones, I never had a repeater - when I did have the streak go past £25, I expected another £25....but EVERY TIME it dropped Plums for £3, giving £28 from 'Vamp it Up'. Having said that, I found they gave decent afterplay, often following that up with a couple of Red boards for about £10 each, so normally £50 out anyway :p

With Red X - I found I had the best profit [about £80] from a NON skill 'Take Note' - although I put £50 in, I already had a £25 plus some afterplay in the bank before taking the £80 from Take Note.

Weird theory here, but machines tend to offer the IM for a top feature when forced, but offer LESS than if the machine has taken a reasonable amount and then 'dropped' the top feature. I noticed this [rather obvious] fact when playing Barcrests with the Top Feature 'Cash Amount Streak from 3 Icons' - seen on King Kebab, Temple of Treasure, Super Charged, and all their clones. If forced, you'd often get EXACTLY £25, and if True Skill, I NEVER got more than £25. However, when 'caught at the right time', I'd easily taken £75 from a single top feature on Temple of Treasure.

Just goes to show - machines are about TIMING, and not SKILL :)

Trust me, when I WAS doing well on machines, I had a mental 'diary' - playing machines on the nights of Pool matches, mornings after, Saturday mornings, Nights after Karaokes, Monday mornings if not paid a JP over the weekend, that kind of stuff. I did make a profit from that, but still didn't cover the cash I'd lost - and even timings aren't much use against a microprossor out to get 30% of you :)

hi there im pretty new 2 this site but on fruits i reckon im pretty up 2 date
ur rite that these machines WILL never repeat for jackpot but...
these type of machines do have a good pay rate normally 2 jackpots in a row. and the reason meanly when u have a hard time getting on the board with £20- 30 is probally its a unchiped version which can be EMPTIED but the chances r by now that they r all chiped :(

best fruit machine eva roller coaster and red alert

Hi Jonny, welcome to Fruit-Emu :)

Weird, my dad went and got a True-Skill repeat on The Big Cheese last night, something I never thought possible :)

Yeah, modern machines tend not to give the Repeat Chance, but still give the extra jackpot, normally from the next feature board.

King Kebabs will have all been chipped, they are still reasonable machines after being chipped twice, but can't be manipulated easily... and I saw someone put £40 into a new Red Gaming machine and NOT EVEN GET A NUDGE/CASH WIN/FEATURE....so I haven't a clue what happened to it before he jumped on!!

I really liked the older Red machines, Red X was my favourite when I was 16 :)

Very repetitive profile, predictable - but in a good way. Always used to give me £44 for £20 in if played at certain times [This was the summer holidays, so I played them in the morning].

Did once get £80 from Take Note, which was a surprise!

I'll admit though, Red Gaming have seriously lost their way if £40 per board is the norm. It's no doubt going to play better once it's recovered, but that beats my own record of about £28 into a HiLowatha without a board!

Im not denying that they can be easy to get JP on, u got nearest win, tutti frutti, super hold, cash code (sometimes). also pick-a-reel upgraded on vamp it up. ive had JP on the diff clones SO many times, i even got it on a Shark version of it the other day, but no repeat. think the most ive had from the streak is around £45.

my fav red gaming machine is probally rampage.. and still is.

the features r pretty neat like hi jack (skill tenner) or the treble reflex(skill jackpot) and the stampede (jp)

i used to play it at least 3 times aweek coz it was easy money the local business men would noramally go and fill it up on their lunch break and piss' of after woulds HAHA :D

but once in the blue moon it does take at least £10 to get on board and die 1st time ( worst time was £19 i think)

ne ways time has changed now and i onli pay fruits about less then once a week. but for all u lot who still do , keep up the skill and F*** the companies hard! hehe :lol:
