You've heard of 'emptier', 'munter', or 'backing'. Well known words used in fruit machines but what this one? Padding? Never heard of it? Actually, I made that one up. What it meant was say you were playing a bandit like X Marks the Spot or Roller Coaster. If you landed on non-collectable squares like arrows or sandstorms, you had to gamble again, and more often than not, you lost. This is what padding meant. The machine makes you gamble but is just trying to make the feature last longer and is going to 'kill' you anyway. Often seen in BWBs classic (ho! ho!) Championship Soccer and it's 27+ clones.

I've been pretty mean to Bell Fruit Machines, so I'll try and say something positive about them. Public Enemy isn't too bad and neither is Crazy Fruits but that's only the £5 versions.

:twisted:

Evil Streak (an old-ish Maygay machine) is the most appropriately named title for a bandit I have ever seen.

Got yet ANOTHER £50 on Pie Factory yesterday. Seems to do it if I exchange a win for feature and wait for the 3 red chefs to light up by themselves at the start rather than nudging them in.

Pie's always go for at least £50, usually around £63-65 though sometime £75-91, depends how many munters have been on before you.
