Hi All,

 

Im going to this tomorrow, and going to be meeting Steve from Reels Of Fun and a couple of others, anyone else going to be there?

 

All aboard !!

[Idontknow]

No one from here going to this ?

[aaamusements]

No time, no spare funds again this year.

Got myself and one of the lads from Jackpotty forums going to this on the Thursday.....

HOWEVER, be ready for the tube strikes!!!

Best advice, is try and make your way best you can to Bank station (Northern Line is looking good, especially if you are coming in via St Pancras / Kings Cross / Euston), and pick up the DLR to Custom House.

List of expected LU Lines and stations expected to be open, but is subject to change.

I'm due to hit St Pancras at around 9.45 am with Jamsey if you want to meet up?

I'll drop you a PM with me phone number.....

Our current plan is to get down to Bank station on the Northern service (LU), to link up with the DLR at the mo, but all depends on what tube services are running..... alt plan will be HS1 to Stratford International and DLR from there.

the 10r partytime looks okey to me

 

put the jump from 2 quid to 10 is frighting

[CoasterDesignerpro]

Some really good games at ICE but unfortunately a lot of them not suitable for this country ... loved the WMS, IGT, Novomatic and Aristocrat and Spielo stands.... Was good to see Zeus 2, Black Knight and WOZ Over the Rainbow for B3! Also RAGING RHINO and MONTEZUMA for Williams Interactive (Jackpot Party) ....

 

Btw the Playtech presence was massive inc that double decker bus and the moving dinosaur!

Why is it? The £25 versions jumped from £5 to £25 so don't see why the same ratio (£2 to £10) would be any cause for concern.

[jaybee]

XXX on the £10 base game of Partytime is still 40p, it would work now on XXX £1

[jaybee]

A Partytime was doing a £300 top. Got told off for filming it.

 

Although on demo, the reps swears it would do that in real life lol

To be fair, it's more a business to business event, although you look at some of the stands, and you think why even bother coming.

Novamatic Group (Bell-Fruit, Mazooma, Gamestec, Astra, etc), must have been around 20% of the event, their stand was huge, and Merkur (BFM's former owners), was pretty big too.

Have to say that egg capsule game Merkur had, was a very interesting bit of kit, as well as the games Konami have (Basically Vegas like machines, with a dash of Japanese Pachinko), with a very strange dice like cube in the middle, which had a standard 3 reel deck, and 2 lcd's for the special games either site, which rotated when feature was gained.

Seeing Electrocoin, and although it's sad to see them in a little shoebox type stand looking a bit sorry for themselves, they are at least trying to make an effort, and I did actually enjoying talking to the staff there, and even the subject of pinballs came up

[stanmarsh14]

Thanks for the pics, really enjoyed viewing them. Looks like you all had a good day out. Especially liked the the sticker on the inside of the toilet lid. There are a group of people on the underground going around putting up joke stickers that look

like the real ones. saw one which said 'No eye contact. Penalty £200.
