Another really awesome video James. This series has been so good. People like yourself are really keeping classic slots alive. If it wasn't for you and the classic slot community there would be no more. Love your content, keep up the good work 👍😄😄😄
Hi again James, I'm guessing this arcade is still open? I'm looking to get down week after next and don't want another wasted journey like Skirlington!
@@JamesHardyFruitMachines ah I never knew that but to be fair whenever I played that machine it was the £15jp or was it £10 lol can’t remember and I always forced the streak (over £5 on a normal board)
Ah you'll have to wait and see. Next video is the quiz and then a little series starts but I'm not giving away the location yet but it's tied into the quiz if that makes sense
Back in the day yes, but now it's just a hobby. I was best known for being on the motorways doing services and truck stops but I went into loads of towns and cities up and down the country. I got into fixing them a few years ago and learned how to repair the boards in lockdown with a load of help from a mate via video chats and messenger. So now it's really just my hobby and the YT stuff is a mixture of home machines and retro arcades although less so at home due to complete lack of time 😂
Don't know why you think Homers might repeat lol as it only repeats on red board. First jp ( turnabout) can start run ( as I'm sure you know ) and next board goes red and that either repeats for £75 or no repeat for a £50
@@davidmellish3295 Either that, or he might have meant to say it might roll. I know it's rare on a £25er, but I guess there is an outside chance. As it turned out, it didn't roll, but did 3 hold on bells.
I remember doing a turnabout in a chippy in Leicester centre after we fell out a night club years ago, all the staff stopped what they were doing to watch, we were too drunk to care, lots of foreign talking and they were not happy at all 😂🤷🏼♂️
It's fine Jus we don't really like seeing the features we all like looking at the bottom reels lol great camera work lol James can you send him on a course to use a camera lol
To be fair, I was knackered by then. If you mean Eastenders, you don't need pictures, Pauline loses the day's takings, Pat loses Frank's cash, and Sharon gets me chucked out of the pub. I've actually been doing pretty well recently. I've produced and edited the last 7 videos myself, and not had any complaints (other than JH needing to change his colour settings, and even then, I managed to edit them to become a bit less dull) So, from 3 months ago in Retro Slots, when I couldn't point the camera at the board on Popeye, to now, where I'm producing videos, I'm doing pretty well. I'll be making Hollywood blockbusters by Christmas 😂😂
@@GuruJus ages comes to all of us, I was a tad rushed, "here do this" 😂, also fun fact is Jus hits a lot of skills from sound and not the symbols which makes it even more amazing to see him in action.
@@dfuseidazza6129 Thankfully, the ? is slow enough, but Stop N Step is quite hard to see on Big Bucks (especially if you're an old man 🧓🤣) Harder than say a Reel Cobra anyway
Oh I'm not sure about that, generally not on camera though, but in real life I'd say a fair bit. I try to keep it toned down when filming but I do forget I'm even recording half of the time.
Yes mate
Last video with dodgy colour and then it's hopefully all good! Well the next 6 or 7 vids I have queued are good 😂
@@JamesHardyFruitMachines it hasn't realy bothered me mate to be honest. As long as its viewable I'm happy.
Another cracking episode cheers James!
You are more than welcome pal, glad you enjoyed it
Great stuff as per m8 👍🏻👍🏽I always liked Circus we had a 10 pounder 🍒🍒🍒👍🏻👍🏽
Only ever seen 2, Ben has one and this one in Maidstone.

I'm pleased to be helping keep them alive and keep some videos on UA-cam.
Well in mate enjoyed that👍👌
No worries, glad you enjoyed it.
great series of vids guys and did you manage to get my water feature? 😆😆😆
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"I need a pond"...."eh? Jus, what is he going on about?"..... "he wants us to build him a water feature in his back garden I think".....
@@JamesHardyFruitMachines 😆😆😆
@@JamesHardyFruitMachines A description on a future video.....
Very bright...was this after the bomb dropped
Thanks James and gang x
You are welcome
Hi again James, I'm guessing this arcade is still open? I'm looking to get down week after next and don't want another wasted journey like Skirlington!
It most certainly is, I was there a few days ago. Reel Fruits is the home of retro fruit machines.
@@JamesHardyFruitMachines Perfect, thank you very much.
I don’t get what you was timing out there on meltdown did I really miss a trick on that machine?
Fastest speed lands back on the same place it started from. So you can let it time out for a pretty easy Jackpot.
@@JamesHardyFruitMachines ah I never knew that but to be fair whenever I played that machine it was the £15jp or was it £10 lol can’t remember and I always forced the streak (over £5 on a normal board)
Yes James keep them coming top vids mate used to be everywhere up Blackpool now video shit :)
Yeah its a shame what's happened to Blackpool but it has moderately improved this year. Used to be mint
Ayeee nice video guys. Where we off to next upload?
Ah you'll have to wait and see. Next video is the quiz and then a little series starts but I'm not giving away the location yet but it's tied into the quiz if that makes sense
Great video mate. Just out of interest, did you used to make a living out of this or has it always been a hobby? 👍

Wheres this arcade

Tongue in cheek pal. We know how Homers works 😂
@@GuruJus fair enough, I was surprised to be honest as I know this is your era of machines

@@scottleicester4266 Did you hit it yourself, or did you let it time out?
domino's beer and Mr.hardy lol
Tenerife, Chinese and my b'day 😂 not watching my video though.
@@JamesHardyFruitMachines happy birthday old boi

@@GuruJus I've invested in your movie production company already 😂
@@JamesHardyFruitMachines I can see it getting taken over by Hardy Productions, some time this month 😁
@@GuruJus can't afford to buy you out, but normal service to be resumed at some point in the near future
@@JamesHardyFruitMachines I'll be heading into retirement soon. The business will be going, much cheapness 😁
Shocked that jus can't see a turnabout probably one of the easiest skills out there haha
My eyesight is going mate. I'm 52 this month, and maybe I just need some new glasses, but I was really struggling to see that.
@@GuruJus ages comes to all of us, I was a tad rushed, "here do this" 😂, also fun fact is Jus hits a lot of skills from sound and not the symbols which makes it even more amazing to see him in action.
The only thing that does my eyes is the reel skill on big bucks to hit the bonus back on the reel lol
@@dfuseidazza6129 Thankfully, the ? is slow enough, but Stop N Step is quite hard to see on Big Bucks (especially if you're an old man 🧓🤣) Harder than say a Reel Cobra anyway
@@GuruJus haha I find the stop and step much easier for some reason
It's not like you to swear so much, James.
