    I swear party time and hokey cokey are two of those games that need leaving for 20 mins after someone's lost a fortune before it dumps a streak. Carry on playing it and it'll just keep taking your cash

    A guy called John 'Jack' Jones worked for Ace as an engineer. Then he started JPM on his own, which he sold and retired.
    Being bored he started up again with Astra, so creating two highly successful fruit machine companies. Think he was from Wales.

    Party times and party time arenas don’t have feature/top box waiting modes. Only one unit can go up at a time, other units just will never go up or wait. Party games started the feature waiting or busy concept.

    They don’t trigger at same time mate. On the newer ones , things like bullion bars etc do que the players but party times do not que. if someone is on the top game you cannot trigger your machine to go up. Most players will just not play while the other person is playing out their top game. When they get kicked out of top game the other player will then start to play again.
    Great video though mate. They really do have major differences between different machines. There is one on £5 Jp in my local arcade and it cannot retrigger UNLESS certain conditions are met. If you get up on top game and only have 1 credit left people usually rush to stick another £1 in but instead you should just put 10p in at a time. You want no credits left when it kills you then put 10p in and it can reflash. Also, if you hit the bank limit whilst on top , it won’t payout until you leave top game , it then auto pays out and can reflash.( send you to the top again).
    Like I say, this is just on the one in my arcade, I’m not saying this applies to all party times. It’s just funny how different they can play even though they are the same machines!! Different programmes maybe???
    Great vid. Enjoy your vids so much.
    Was playing a £25 version couple weeks ago and it’s the new WOW cab version. Gave jackpot on top game, if it gives 2 jackpots in a row it’s the streak and it gives 4 in total for £100. Very nice when it happens. It’s actually on my last video I uploaded to UA-cam 😜😜
    P.s you say about letting nudges time out and sometimes get extra nudges. This is not random and there are certain set ups for wins. I think there are 5 different set ups for jackpots nudges, 2 where it’s 5 away and 3 where it’s 4 away. 2 set up for bars and a few for X wins. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

      @@SpikeSCFC when I say 2 set ups for bars it’s basically the same set up but one has bar 2 away reel 1, bar on middle reel and bar 3 away on last reel. There are 2 bars on last reel so sometimes the little reel bolts on the 3rd reel meaning bar 3 away but can also be there when bolts not showing on reel 3 coz there are 2 bars. Hope that makes sense,lol

    It was more like 2010 / 2011 when the leisure closed down in strand street. in the earlier years i recall them having an 8 slave party time arena in there that slowly moved to a 6 slave.

    Great vid however the party times never waited for a other slave to use top board... that's why every other player on the linked machines would groan and sigh and stop play once anyone triggers the tops lot 😊

    I hate the fact that when you sit in an arcade and get a top board, the other players all hate. So if you win a streak you end up walking out wishing you had security. Also there is a 10 seat party time arena in Coral Island Blackpool

      I saw this in Blackpool many years ago. A couple were playing a multi Party Time for a while (2 terminals) and an old guy came over and starting playing one of the other ones.
      He got up and won loads and took his money and left. The guy particularly was fuming and staring him down and muttering stuff to his mrs.
      I found it hilarious 😄

      @@samuelhajder6514 It's happened to me too. I never put more than £9 a time in those things (at 30p stake) and if I don't get up I walk away, knowing it's a collective pot so I'm only funding someone else's win. A good few times I got a big streak for over £150 and walked away. One time I heard a guy say "fkin tourists" and I laughed because I'm local.

    These party times could give u a bonus nudge... on the last nudge dont use it, and sometime it would nudge the middle reel twice... if u left nudge for possible line hit on the left reel for say like bars. it would nudge it all the way round like 14 times but stop one short. very weird they can be..

    whilst there was wins off of 'hidden' nudges by letting them time out on the middle & right reels, how about an identical ram + gam comparison vid to see if they made any difference or if the machine would have gave you the same win via a let em spin if you manually nudged it yourself where it would be one short? I'm sure long term taking the wins made zero difference as they're not free or anything & they were about as secret as 'hold 3 times for a win' type info
