Sorry i have not been on for ages but I thought I would start a chat with you lads. I actually have not played a single machine for over 4 years now due to issues in my life (to put it short I had a breakdown but I am slowly getting there as to say) I'm also only 27.

I used to love playing £5 high techs but last time I was at Great Yarmouth and Hemsby especially (always loved it there) I was shocked to see literately no high tech machines in site, everything had gone (Reds, Extremes, Barcrests etc) and all replaced with either ticket machines or these new breed of bullion bars and the Rainbow Riches clones etc, all video based machines.

I am thinking of going somewhere this summer to have a casual punt (I can only afford to gamble on £5,s to be honest) but I was just wondering, are there any Hi Tech machines anywhere now? It was basically after seeing Yarmouth & Hemsby be rid of absoloutely everything I have not visited another arcade since.

I find those video machines like Rainbow Riches etc so utterly boring, sorry but I honestly do not like them, a bunch of floating A,Q,J etc and that is it, awful. What had happened to all the old Hi techs? I can't understand why arcades would get rid of like every single one of them and replace them with a Bullion Bars/ Rainbow video when they had so many machines.

I actually don't remember seeing many machines at all last time I was at Yarmouth & Hemsby, just ticket machines and all the other stuff (which I won't complain about because they are there for families)

It just baffles me why all the Hi Techs have somewhat vanished, but saying that I have not been in an arcade in 4 years due to my breakdown but I have however seen "Arcade tour" videos recently on YouTube of the ones at Southend On Sea and it looks like there are hardly any fruits there either???

Basically lads I am wondering, are there any Hi Techs anywhere now? I can stomach some DONDs but these video based Lo Techs, no lol I can't stand them.

Good Afternoon all, I might be going to Blackpool for my first ever time this summer, I'm just wondering and would please like to ask if anyone here has been there recently and just how is it exactly?

I'm a big fan of High Tech machines, I don't really like Lo Techs, the last time I went to Great Yarmouth they had hardly any High Techs and it was just Bullion Bars and Party Times everywhere So I was thinking of giving Blackpool a try, would you say it is better than Great Yarmouth? I've seen a few pics and the place looks huge, bigger than Great Yarmouth? I just want somewhere to go that has some Hi Tech machines and not 10x Bullion Bars in each arcade

Big Thanks to any information at all, much appreciated

Good evening all, I am just wondering if any of you know a simple program that allows you to resize images, I am trying to get an image the same size as a CD case (12CMX12CM) I have tried using Paint but I can't get it to resize properly, and I have searched on Google for hours, unfortunately I do not have Photoshop, sorry to ask this, believe me I feel so stupid haha.

Best Regards

Something I have been thinking about recently, for example I play two of the "exact" same machines, one in one arcade, one in another, both set to the same %. I don't know if it's just a coincidence but has anyone noticed or know if 2 "exact" same machines can have different programs? For example one machine will be like £20 in and £10 out all the time, the other same machine, same % will save up for huge streaks, seems like there are no 2 machines that are the same? I'm just confused lol.

Hi all, I am just wondering if there is anyway you can save the progress of a played emulation. For example, if I play £100 through and then close the emulator, I have noticed that when I launch the emulation again, it has not saved that £100 played through, I looked at the meters and they are the same as a newly downloaded file, if anyone knows if you can save the state I will be really greatful and appreciative. It is literately just an idea and of course if you can't, the emulations are still fantastic 10/10! Just an idea.

Kind Regards
