As noted on another thread, circumstances beyond my control mean I have had to move my web site to http://racingdog.lazenby.me/ though the page names are still the same.

Due to circumstances beyond my control my web site has moved to http://racingdog.lazenby.me/ The page names are the same though.

So whilst we were posting the above I was busily working on another imaginary machine! Why? Well, I was still bored but also, whilst playing with some of the emulators from those nice people at fruit-emu, I came across a bit of an odd ball way of giving Nudges. It wasn't the old fashioned random num...

I have no idea why, but the file had been deleted! I have restored it!

If it disappears again do let me know people.

When I got my Allwin, which is in the style of a Fivewin, I wanted to know how it was performing. So I wrote a simple program, called Fivewin Analyser, which allowed me to record which holes the ball hit (by clicking on the headers of a table) and automatically keep track of the totals, percentages,...

That's weird, 5 people used it successfully and I've changed nothing, but yeah it is definitely broken!

I'll check it after lunch, which has just arrived.

Hi guys, been a while, other things have been occupying me. But I got bored with lock down and had run out of PC projects. I'd been down loading some fruit machine emulations from those nice people at fruit-emu, just to see if my prejudices against modern machines had foundation. They were! That got...

Those numbered reels, does anybody know if they are done using a known font, or are they just proprietary artwork? Looking at the fonts on my PC I can't find anything close.

A bit late, been busy on other things, but thanks for the payouts info!

So yeah, having thought about it and looked at many pretty pictures, I'm sure you're right and I was thinking about a Beromat machine. And I'm pretty sure now that the machine is probably one with numbers 1 to 6 on the reels. Sadly many of the photos are a bit blurry in the pay table area. Does anyb...

Sorry, another assumption, that UK game machines enthusiasts are in the UK! The easiest way to explain it is to go back a few decades when the UK education system was quite simple. At age 16, the then and current minimum school leaving age, you sat exams in several subjects which, if you passed, wer...

That sounds too much like hard work for something that started out as just curiosity! You'd better leave it, unless you're one of those people who can't. I'm a bit like that, but not totally! Yes school was a long time ago, so I mistakenly thought casually mentioning modular arithmetic would be unde...

Nope! In my emulation I am using the real no bet list for display and my own (fairer) payout list. In my analysis tool I am using the real payout list on the videos of real machines. So I am making use of all the information, but not in the same program! So far I can find sequences of 6 symbols with...

13Rebel, no the two guesses were one for each list, not two for the same list. Brigham's post contained two lists in one table, one for no bet and one for bet. Brigham, thanks for the update and all the previous info, most helpful. I wrote another program to try to spot sequences, as the thing is su...

OK, so I assumed the missing values were 5 and 4. I upgraded the program to the first stage as outlined above and updated the download file, so at least the lights flash the way the real thing does. I haven't used the "real" payout mapping as I didn't see the point of making a fun money co...

I had few minutes just to look at the figures and I was doing my head in because they didn't add up. Then I realised Position 15 isn't in the list!

Go on, be a sport, give me a clue! Please.

Cheers,
Derek

Yes I see! Thanks all, but please keep an eye on this thread (well for a little while at least!) as I may eventually need the Lose effect data.

I'm a bit busy for the next few days, but I will be analysing all that asap. Then I'll figure how much more I want to do.

Thanks again,
Derek

That would be great ta. My ability with my wristwatch's stop watch may be exceedingly suspect, but I got the impression the length of time the rotor moves was not exact from one game to the next, so I had that tagged as a possible source of randomness. As I said, I'm just guessing about everything e...

I don't think I ever played the Autofruit, or one of its siblings, back in the days when penny arcades really were 1D arcades as I preferred its bigger cousins, the horse racing and roulette type of game as I found those more visually interesting. So when I joined this forum a few months back, seein...

Maybe I should have gone to Specsavers! I've only just noticed that the end stops on my repro machine are slightly smaller than on the original. Obviously that makes my machine slightly more generous. But by how much? I can see from my file share provider that a few of you have downloaded my gadget,...
