Anyone know if it is possible for manufacturers like say Barcrest to put machines online.

I have occasionally played online machines via gambling websites, and one of the main reasons I donn't play often is that they are all big stake big win, and that the gameplay is awful.

I'm sure makers could develop an arcade style room where there are say 100 machines, just make them play the same as real machines, with only one person allowed to use each virtual machine at the same time

rob at this years atei show i put across what this site dose for machines to bar,bfg,and a number of others

with all saying thats it a very good idea but myself and the companys had the same thing in mind a single machine with pc or other system which would have 20 or more games on it and that by allowing the play to down load new games and old back cataloged games but what would be the golden thing of this would be all companys to make one machine that companys can make the software for

this would make the service side of things much easyer for people like myself ,baz and many others a dream as there will one system which will stop us guys and girls from running a round looking for parts for this and that companys machine

the companys maybe running this idea but on there own web site were players can us there paypal ,or other forms of credit to play machines on and this were a lot of private companys will have to change or remake the game to a bacta standards

Unfortunately IMHO the way it goes is that the JP of a machine is the maximum which is supported by licensing.

i.e Pubs allow £25JP, therefore pubs generally have £25JP machines.

On the internet, as so many people are aware of the apparently 'unlimited' jackpot nature, I'd be surprised if anyone other that us is interested in pub style machines with lower jackpots.

I also think it would be hard to 'trust' the payout of the machines, especially for a start. On a pub machine, you can guage where you are at, how much it may need to get JP or streak e.t.c.... that may well be impossible on the internet.

A few weeks ago I propose you to contribute to developing the technology that support this kind of games (http://www.fruit-emu...iewtopic&t=5058). No one of you was interested about that. I think it is not a bad ideea.
