Mon Dieu,

I feel sick! Ive been out of the system with bad guts for the last 3 months. Tonight was my first venture out into the real world of pubs. WHA-APPEN!

These 'new' £35 jackpot machines are a nightmare. You cant play them for shovelling pound coins in. Even a small time gambler like me was scared witless. I must have put £40 in, in less than 3 minutes (Deal or no deal). Got most of it back but thats not the issue. Does anyone know if these things are paying their way ? It seems if someone like me, who has played fruit machines since the days of the purple penny in Blackpool, in the mid-70s gets the hee-bee-gee-bees by the amount you need to put in to get a play of any kind, how are the grans and grandads going to cope with the odd-quid here and there. All I remember is the arm ache from keep feeding the money in!

Bring back the £15 / £10 jackpot machines I say.

Hi everyone,

Im off to Dublin in a few weeks, has anyone got any experience of fruit machines in Ireland. Are they much the same as in this country, and with the Euro what denomination of coin do they take ? Does anyone know.

Best wishes

Hi all,

My first post here so I may get a toning for this question. Does anyone remember the Shogun/Sceptre machines. Early 90's 4.80 JP and one of my faves. Cant find any emulation for them anywhere, does anyone know if they ever were emulated ?

Thanks
