@@tommytommytommytommyrobins496 Very mild here today pal, around 13C. Nearly Mexico weather! I don't really do Xmas, but hope you have a lovely time, and Mrs R books you a romantic week in Bognor Regis for Xmas ❤
@@tommytommytommytommyrobins496 Do you think she'd listen to a fat Z-list celebrity Manc? Hardy doesn't listen to me, neither does Loz, so I'm not optimistic here 🤣
Glad you enjoyed it, and all the best to you too! Videos every day until new year, then after that, at least 2 per week until the end of February lined up 😂
@ no mate I didn’t say Jpms i said caesars !!! Impulse red alert for instance can go dead off repeats but caesars got shot kung fu can’t dead off repeat
Hot shot ,think cash busters could die off the 3 repeats but not normally and 5 liner was normally always there for a while off a £45 Hilo karate was only sort of clone of the Caesars hot shot ish looking thing that could repeat and be dead
@JamesHardyFruitMachines no bother matey....the hard work shines through in you're vids and as I've said before watching 2 pro,s play a multitude of retro games properly brings back loads of happy memories so you 2 crack on. Happy new year to u both👍
In the past, I've been criticised for not pushing for Reel Magic. However, there won't have been many who could have looked at that exchange on Psycho and said, that's 17 for Jackpot, or STNW plus 10 nudges.
@@GuruJus I certainly couldn't have call the S.T.N.W in 5 seconds... my skills were mainly in skill shots and working things out that others may not spot quite quickly.... and high speed strimming in the 80s.But The Step to nearest skills are the best I've seen and I've met some great players across the decades.👊
Great watch! Thanks to you both for all the great footage this year I can only imagine how hard it is doing all the travel and then not only playing the slots but filming it all as well and then the editing! I’m still not sure if that’s hardy doing the countdown or Bruno Brooke’s lol merry Christmas to you both and your families have a good one 👍🏻
Thank you, and all the best to you too! I'll give you some numbers for the current series (Jus's last trip of 2024), which was filmed 4th-8th November. We filmed 9 hours 20 minutes of footage, 818 clips, totalling 286 gigabytes. I drove on this occasion, and did just under 1000 miles. Accommodation, fuel and food cost us £400. When I got back, over the next 11 days, I did 130 hours of editing and rendering, to make 21 videos - 17 for the series, plus the 4 top 40 videos. All for the love of the game 😂
Love the theme added to this one. Must have taken a while getting everything storyboarded nicely. Wish there was a Spanish Laughing Guy picks vid haha. He still enjoying his siesta?
He's ona sabatical to make way for other abusive characters to appear. He will be back, plus he copyrighted something we did once! true story! a meme copyrighted us!
@JamesHardyFruitMachines Never knew he caused that much of a menace! A dead meme by all accounts too! Meant to say, if this is what 40-31 is, Ive no clue what number 1 would be. All these were epic as it is. I'll have a think, no hints, but might have one or two ideas!
@@FOREIGNSLOTMANIACIt took a while to cut out a few clips of Bruno Brookes reading the chart out in 1989. Hardy could have given me a clip for Spanish Laughing Guy on our last trip, but the spoilsport deleted it! I had something epic lined up as well, it might even have given Lorraine v Hitler a run for its money. If you want to guess as to what the top 10 is, have a guess on here, before it comes out on the 30th.
Thank you! No, I don't think it would have given pot, if I hadn't got it off STNW. I think Barcrest just treated STNW as a feature with a value of around £4-£5, and if pot is there off nudges, then so be it. The next option is Reel Magic, which is considerably harder to get. The classic case of underestimating the value of STNW was of course, Club Psycho, which was vulnerable to offering wins as high as jackpot, when only being about £25 happy.
@@alanodoherty683 To be fair, I don't think there are many players who could have looked at that board on Psycho and said "That's 17 for jackpot, or 10 plus Nearest Win", but it's definitely a way of potting it before it's happy enough to give you a Reel Magic or better.
Merry freaking xmas guys
Happy Christmas Aaron, thanks for all the comments this year, enjoy the vids
Merry Christmas. Thanks JH and JUS for the great vids this past year
You are welcome mate, Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas...Casinocrazy number 1
All will be revealed on the 30th!
1:14 Blackpool arcade had £10 Caesars Palace years ago. Jackpot two repeats, still ready. I couldn’t kill it off as always numbers lol 😂
Always got a few in after repeat caesars
£10 hard work like £10 impulse
@ correct
Often you are right but this is a myth, I have killed JPMs in repeats, however admittedly in retro arcades rather than the wild
@ no mate I didn’t say Jpms i said caesars !!!
Impulse red alert for instance can go dead off repeats but caesars got shot kung fu can’t dead off repeat
Hot shot ,think cash busters could die off the 3 repeats but not normally and 5 liner was normally always there for a while off a £45

Great vid boys ... keep up the good work .....
Videos every day between now and new year pal
Kudos to the designer/programmer who came up with the idea of combining STNW with nudges. They deserve One Hundred Billion Dollars.
Wonder which game had the first one you could use nudges to improve your win with?
@JamesHardyFruitMachines yeah great question🤔. Could've been a Boulderdash/Ooh AHH Dracula type game like you've included. Will have to have a think
@@JamesHardyFruitMachines Adders and Ladders, MPU3 🤣

happy Christmas pal, have a good one.
Cracking compilation 👍 do you ever come across 'A Knghts Trail' by Global? That's one I'd like to have a go on. merry Christmas lads 👍
nope, not seen one in any arcade for a while and the last one I rememebr seeing was on a fiver. I personally didn't mind that or Reel Good Time.
A knights trail brings back memories ,the notes ones dumped of refill key /start button
Nice vid lads. Do you reckon the step to the nearest win jackpot boards would have paid jackpot another way if you don't go the STNW route?
Thank you!
