Well looks like the £70 j/p is no more in the pubs, and the 'new' £100 j/p has been agreed,

 

Also the casino j/p has increased from £4,000 to £15,000, and the new max spin has increased from £2 to £5

 

The £5 j/p though remains the same

 

I don't often play the new machines any more as they are no longer fun, but cash eaters, do you think the new j/ps will encourage more play??

clubbers  also going from £250 to £400

I don't understand why clubbers haven't gone to £500? I mean we have £500 machines in the local club anyway, albeit lottery-based video slots, so people are already used to £1 play / £500 and it's popular with the hardcore players.

I think the £500 j/p will be phased out of clubs in any form, they are also looking at the high stake machines, i.e. £100 stake for £500 j/p typical in bookies. I agree though £400 is a odd j/p.

 

I think the reason of putting the j/p to £70 in the first place is because they couldn't put old clubbers in pubs as their lowest j/p was £75. I know if I had a pub now (use to be a tenant), I'd bring in a old £100 club j/p - profit would be down, but playability back, remember the days 10p a spin!!!!

any idea when we are likely to see the new £100 jackpot machines in our local pubs?

There's no playability in a 10p/£100.

[straekseims]

Exactly! 10p a spin and after you have been playing for 4 weeks to finally win the £200 jp the other one on £1 play has paid 2 jackpots a week every week and has made the owner 10 x more money! Most new gen peeps don't care about gameplay as they want money easy so  simple games are played like rainbow and alike.

 

I think a £400 on 50p/1.00/2.00 would be fairly good, if 25p was put on it then it would play a lot crapper as 1600x stake but 200x stake if on max would play an ok game, maybe even forceable.....that would really increase takings!

How things change I remember playing machines that were 10p £3 jackpot :-)

[Johnnyafc]

I remember playing machines that were fun

[renoufchr]

prob not to at least april I would imagine then it will be only the big suppliers starting to use them

[jackpotjon05]

Yep, and they were the good old days.

 

For all the crap that is out there now, I wouldn't put a £1 in any of them.

 

That's all I have to say.

I only play the one in our works canteen. 10p a spin, £150 Jackpot. Currently have Rocky. Don't think I would be tempted to play the machines in the bookies, too many horror stories from people at work who have done £500 + in a weekend, would much rather spend that money on something useful or you could buy your own machine. As for £5 a spin, you may as well take your pile of cash and a match and burn it.

£500 in a weekend? Try £500 in 10 minutes at £5 a go. Add some FOBTs to that you could get to easily £20k in a weekend!

early indications are mid jan 2014. 

 

i was under the impression that casinos were going upto £10k/£5 and not £15k

[NickYerPesos]

Yeh I am getting ready with my jackpot change kits for January. Pending final confirmation.
It's £400 as they need to be able to seperate from b3 machines. And if they're changing b3 to £5/£500 then they can't have clubs mistakenly having what they think is a club machine (because of the jackpot) when in fact it's a b3.
Gotta admit these changes are happening very fast.. 5/10 years time is it going to be £250 in pub and £1000 in clubs.... Crazy.
