Where in the UK are you?

 

I'm going to guess somewhere around the Sheffield area. Don't ask me why...I can't explain it.

I’ve  noted the retirement ad on the home page asking “do you have a £250,000 portfolio.”

Well I just checked my bank account…damn it, Sods Law, I’ve only got £249,962. Any generous sole out there that can lend me the £38 I need to take up this wonderful retirement opportunity. I promise to pay you back…with 400% interest, honest.

 

I am well aware of a web sites need to necessitate advertising as a source of income.

However, the vast majority of members on here are either current gamblers, or those who have had a problem gambling in the past, which does not bode well for bank balances. We download games because we can’t afford to buy dozens of machines, even if they were available. Nor do we have the space of a convenient arcade room extension that we have built on to our property at xxx expense to house them.

Shouldn’t an advertiser be more vigilant, and target consumers who are more likely to be seduced by their campaign, or is this strategy just blanket cover across many site in the hope of striking lucky somewhere.

Then again, maybe he thinks gamblers are suckers, and therefore stupid enough to part with their cash. Well that maybe, but not that stupid that you would throw a quarter of a million at him…now, on the other hand, £38 at 400%... surely that’s a no brainer.

My local club has a dual stake machine. £250 JP for a 20p play and £100 JP for 10p play.

All other cash awards are the same no matter what stake you are playing.

 

I was wondering if this is in effect two machines rolled into one.

Are both the 10p and 20p plays monitored separately against their respective payout percentage.

 

Reason I ask is the other day the £250 JP was won, and I wondered if that would have any bearing on the chances of it dropping the £100 JP.

Now with sound.
A few months back someone asked if this had been emulated and the answer was no. Bj posted the roms and as it appealed to me I thought I'd give it a go. However, it would only load in the Door Open mode.
I had put it on the back burner, but with the recent bad weather keeping me indoors I decided to more or less finish it.
Short cut keys are 1, 2, 3, for the reels with the cancel key being to the left of the 1. All the others are the first letter that appears on the button.
You can exchange to the feature board after any successful gamble.
I done this in MFME10.1 and yes, it looks nothing like the original, that's because i designed it to suit me and my 15 inch monitor. I tried a little inovation to enhance the game play which worked fine, but I don't know how it will re-act on different size monitors, it may have to be deleted.
I had originally posted this without sound, but Hitthesix has kindly provided them.

While enjoying a few beers at the weekend the conversation got around to the new club fruit machine that my club has recently got..."Snake Rattle N Roll" and I was asked if it had been emulated. I said it was very unlikely, but would check.
From my browsing it appears to be a Scorpion 5, which I believe cannot be emulated.(correct me if I'm wrong). However, what my browsing also revealed was that it could be run using MAME.
I thought ok I'll give that a go and download MAME........ BIG BIG MISTAKE.
I have never been so confused in my life. It took me half an hour just to read the config file and I didn't take any of it in.
Surely someone on here can answer this simple question "Can MAME run Scorpion 5 fruit machine roms or have I been misinformed?"
