Why have so many poeple voted for Barcrest?

Barcrest have got a load of crap out at the moment.

[Chris_010292]

I would not vote for Barcrest really, but it has sprung upon my mind as they own Red Gaming, Extreme Gaming, Impulse, Maygay and Vivid Gaming, they are quality machines and are very fair, I have not had the chance to play their latest releases lol, but I have to say imo no Machine will beat a Red:).

Yeah red gaming gets my vote, but they seem to be getting worse.

Really? I couldn't really compare any of the Red's, they all seem to play the same, just clones of clones of clones LOL,

So seeing as how you posted this yesterday, Barcrest have only existed in your mind for the last 2-3 years.

Oh FFS Gary. Are you really as thick as you are coming across? A lot of the members here remember Barcrest at their peak.

Barcrest machines have been around since you were a glimmer of sperm in your old man's cock!!!

[kbos2hm]

i like all the barcrest macines i think there a bit more kinda than say jpm machines

[cardie]

Basically i think Barcrest literally own the fruit machine industy these days as they own all the top brand names because of all the sucsessful machines popular with players.

I wasnt around in the very early 90's or 80' so i wouldnt no but from my experiance Barcrest were te dogs bollox back in the 90s. Until they started running out of ideas....

[andymccabe13]

defo Barcrest all fired up/vamp it up done it for me amazing machines that were very popular i think you will all agree?

[andymccabe13]

Has Barcrest took over bell fruit aswel now cos i seen a bell fruit branded machine in a barcrest cabinet with barcrest group on the back (mpu5 genesis cabinet)

I doubt it mate, I think Bellfruit do very well and are a strong competitor to Barcrest. It might even be considered anti-competitive for Barcrest to acquire Bellfruit as there would be basically nobody left challenging Barcrest in the fruit machine industry.

Since it was in the Genesis cabinet it could be a private rebuild as Barcrest haven't released anything in the Genesis for quite a long time.

Arguably Barcrest will never be surpassed - MPU3 and 4 were probably the all round peak of fruit machine development, when everything is looked at;
Quality of gameplay
Reliability
Longevity
Innovation

The recent past is a very bad time in a long history of excellence for Barcrest.

Bacrest only do clubbers in the Genisis cabinate now everything else in either horizon or rio

I haven't posted on this one yet, but just noticed that the best:

Project Coin

Is not even on the list:mad: . Project Coin have made MOST of the best machines ever made IMO.

:devil:

Too right I feel robbed that I had to vote for OTHER wheras if Project Coin was on the original list,might have been more than just a one horse race

My favourite part of fruit machines was when it was brand new to me. Observing such sounds and arty farty stuff, styles that had never been before. When Barcrest launched their first £4 machine I missed the old fruit symbols. This is why I like and adore this era of them and I was too young to get involved in the nitty gritty ways of losing money. Now I don't see such games in the same way. Just wonderful technology (at the time.)

Good one - but who is still manufacturing fruit machines....?

[BabySchu]

hi in my opinion barcrest are the best machines but for nostalgia you cant beat a maygay machine and who cant remember the trick with the holds to reset the memory ahhh the good old times

That didn't reset the memory, it sent a memory dump out to an external handheld device. The reason the machine locks up when you do it, is because its searching for the handheld device, which isnt there.

I like many machine manufactures like Astra and Barcrest because fair gaming and everything and alot of thoughts put into the machine and yeah the extra nudges on Astra machines are good!
