As with all my rants about these machines theres many reasons,

Firstly because theres about 100 clones of all kinds about, after youve played 30 or 40 the whole idea wears off and its boring.
Next they eat money and give very little back (how many of us can say we were stupid enough to lose £100+ in 1 session on 1 of them?)

If your a typical person who likes to have a bit of a gambling thrill with a odd few quid change after buying a pint then your in the shit basically, a few quid wouldnt give you 30 seconds of entertainment on 1 of them,

The people than tend to play these a lot are bigtime gamblers/addicts, but the thing is they will play it in an attempt to force the jackpot, they believe that the next few quid will pay it so put more and more in, then either they do get the jp and walk away at a loss (but leave the machine back in tight arsed mode because they would of leveled the payout %) which happens in most cases, or theres a very slim chance of them running out of cash before getting it, this is where a small amount of people have got lucky and won something big off a few quid.

The general thing with them is that if you want a gambling thrill you need more than a few quid, but the problem then is where it makes you think its bound to payout because of the amount you have put in so you may end up putting more in and still end up with nout which turns a "quick few spins on the gambler with a pint" into "oh shit iv emptied my wallet"

thats why people have problems with these crappy dond machines,

well said!!

Can you PM me the seller please...best NOT to post it as you may cause problems.

I will then forward the PM to some in 'the know' for you to get advice if you want?

Thats bloody bad service!!

yeah it is bad sevice but im not a complainer. would just like to know where to get a new board if possible as the machine was a gift from my partner. lets just say in the future will be more careful where i purchase things. is this what im needing Board Eclipse Board £25 3 GAMES MEDIA??? for bucks bunny machine by global gamnes?

they dont want to know rang 3 times today and they just hang up. wont even send me a replacement or refund my money. so thought if i could find new board so i dont have to get rid of machine. only had it 4 days.

Yep, he's a member @ The Mecca, and a dam good bloke to boot, so worth knowing.

Batts are pretty easy to sort out, but if the old one has leaked (Especially with the older blue ni-cad ones), then you may have to give the system board the Sarsons (Vinegar) treatment and possible track repair.

Loads of how-to's @ MPU Mecca, and the guys will help you along the way.... just watch out for a member called Player, as he likes taking 16oz claw hammers to Maygays

how long do these batteries last? the machine is 4 years old and ex pub hire. i purchased it last week from stemik gaming and i arrived in pretty damn good condition, it looks brand new. is it not worth notifying them as i get 30 day warranty on my purchase.

Sounds like a flat MPU battery to me Scorp4 by any chance?

eclipse. someone else told me it sounds like flat battery. how do i change it and where would i get one.
