Hi guys,
i don't know if this is really where i should be posting but i need some help and you guys were the first to come to mind.

Right i have written some touch screen jukebox software

http://www.freeboxjukebox.com

And i am not getting enquires from commercial operators, it's getting a bit much to be honest. It started with one guy a week ago and now i have at least 10 on my case all wanting prices and deals and i don't know where to go or what to do.

Anyone have any knowledge in this field? Apparently they are licenced for didgiatl music etc and that is not my worry. It is more about pricing. I have not locks on my software so i can only really go for a one off payment and give them the software to use on as many machines as they wish for that one off payment.

You can catch me on barcrest@hotmail.com on MSN or obviously by mail. Also on the forums on my site.... This thing has gone a little bit big quicker than i thought and now i am floundering.

Thanks in advance.

I found that on delicious, don't know if anyone will be interested but i thought i would post em up for your viewing pleasure anyway...

They are arcade tokens

Just thought i would share this obvious but often overlooked tip. If the note acceptor will not take a note (As it's displaying a red X) then you can asume it's empty and walk away. You might have noticed this tends to be the case on All Fired Up, Vamp It Up and the new Shark themed version LOL 8-)

Went to Blackpool this weekend and it is quite funny now i think about it but i was a bit upset at the time. I was playing Red Gaming's RAMPAGE and managed to get RAMPAGE and had £10 in the bank then i got the FLARE UP feature. I took this and the machine went screwy..

Thoose that don't know it offers you one value + another value... well it offered me 10+20964 then tried to give me that in pounds.

Obviously it can't pay £21,000 out and i was watching it all count up anyway, what else could i do. Anyway this is where the fun started. There was this chav looking kid in a man utd top that had been following me around the arcade with a hand full of quids and he come over and goes "Awight mate, whats happening..." I said "Ah nothing, i think it's gone screwy but it'll be ok." then he walked off... Less than 30 seconds later he re-appears with 2 security guards who tell me i am not having anything out of the machine and turn it of and on.

Then some shifty arcade manager type comes over and tells me it is impossible to win more than £5 out of the machine as that is the jackpot. I told him i wanted my £10 out of it as i didn't expect him to pay me £21,000. The security guard said "He ain't paying you nothing mate, piss off"...

Now i was getting a little pissed off as i had put £4 in (Not the end of the world but you play it in good faith to try and win but this was now clearly a situation where i had just given them £4 of my money for bugger all). The CHAV SCUM was still there smiling and i was not happy. Anyway the manager type said it has done this a couple of times and is broke so you ain't getting anything. I said well what about what i have put in??? He gave me my £4 in the end and i was asked to leave...

Anyway the main things that pissed me off here, is the CHAV was clearly a stoodge working for the arcade and watching anyone who looks like they might be winning. Secondly there was no need for the attitude they gave me and finally if the machine had been screwy all day why was it left on?

Moral of the story is... If that happens to you make sure the numbers only add up to 100, grab the £100 and leave. :wink:
