i think you would get bored of it very quickly. and if you play it a lot the sound fx will stick in your head. remember when i was doing these and just couldn't escape 'go for your gun boy'.

Isn't 6 Shooter another Pie Factory clone [ala Giant Gems]?

I personally can't stand those machines, but I'm not sure about home use. Basically buy whatever machine style you like playing in pubs.... I liked Barcrest wraparound trail stuff, especially Spiker The Biker, so I checked out every Spiker in the area and got one delivered for £200 [this was a couple of years back]...

no ben you see its a vivid and pie factory was their only machine to have the tiniest bit of playability so they though no no lets never clone that we will just clone card shark, one of the shittest machines on the planet, about 73 times so we can piss off the world just a little bit more

I can't think of a single feature-based £25er that I'd like to own. £6 for a board rubbish with no gameplay. Maybe a Beer Guide if it was forced on me, but that's it.

You've really got it in for Card Shark haven't you pash?
It's not that bad.

Buy a machine that challenges you. Six Shooter did have a couple of steals - The Baker's Dozen feature, obviously equivalent Wild West theme name used such as Ranch Raid or some such maloney. Then there was landing on one of the *shots* on a 1 or 12, gambling and getting the big Mr. Big purply guy type super shooter big cowboy type geezer gun bloke BANG! type person multicoloured Vivid thing. Or even better having an extra life, no lose or lucky 6 thingymy and blagging it from a series of gambles. I think I once had no lose e.t.c e.t.c all the works and gambled cash from about £8 to jackpot on a machine that was ?ing like a crazy thing and giving useless bonus nudges. They did have a couple of steals nad quirks but nothing sensational. They could also grind you into a tedious boring mush.

If I was to buy a machine - Party Animal, Spin on it, Duff BG, Stin-King-Rich, Fruits U Sir, Lock 'n Load, Happy Fruits - that sort of machine.

NOT - Hot Wheels, Dr. Dosh, Bottle Bank or Giant Gems.

Not a clone of Pie Factory eh? Looks pretty similar to me....

[nails]

card shark the shitties game on this planet eh?

as ive said before with card shark - when you know how to do a £90 run, its suddenly not that shitty. same with pie, six shooter and reel em in, once the concept of the double jackpot is revealed, its suddenly not that bad.

[Bencrest]

What about Devil of a Deal? Surely that IS an appalling machine?

[chez]

depends how it is playing. random 75 is not bad 8-)

can build a good bank from taking skulldeggery (2nd feature) and holding middle reel striaight away to match it. often £5. and also the 4th and 5th features which will both pay a fiver when happy. i would not recommend forcing it though!!!!

not the best but not the worst. rather play this than any of the modern bellfruits for example.
