How would it work? What happens if there are say, 10 people all wanting to play the machine at the same time? Would you have to wait in a queue to play it? If not, what happens if some other player wins the JP...while you are playing. I've played online fruities before and basically you "miss" goes as other players are playing it too. So the JP could drop and you wouldn't even know it
Would it not be possible to have the suggested progressive fruit machine as a single download as they are now. When you start the Program it logs onto a central server that just logs the amount of credit being put into each running program on that surver. The server controls the pots (the pots being displayed and updated PROGRESSIVLY), payout %, And logs who won. I don't agree with the following " A better idea would be to create a "real" fruit machine where people can deposit money into fruit-emu with "real" winnings. It wouldn't have to be much, say 2p a spin and Duplu would reap the rewards and raise the necessary cash to keep this excellent site going". There are enough sites out there that offer this, isnt this site about enjoying the machines and pushing the emu forward? A way round this and make a small proceed to the site would be to unlock the program to anyone who makes a donation?
Guys what do i know it's an idea
"It would be the same people who regularly play the arcade games, i don't know if this is a high or low number, but im guessing its probably quite a low percentage of members" YOU MUST BE JOKING? how many members does this site have and how busy are arcades now????
