Quick session on a pretty happy Big Brother £25er and the story behind it.
From totally dead :-
1x PSU
1x MPU5 Board
1x Coin Mech one inside it faulty
1x Meter missing
New Roms
Total repair took 2 hours (pretty quick including diagnosis) and then about another 3 hours to get the button panel off, renew some switches. Machine is happy to say the least as not far off a ram reset and a fair bit of coins had gone through it.
If anyone does want it drop me a message, won't be looking for the earth for it and fully updated and working as you can see.

One of my favourites this. Before they chipped it you could knock back on the £15 version. When they upgraded it to £25 and it had life in it this is how you play BB - knock back any boards and the bonus for let em spin wins or super hold and gamble for a board set up for reel magic or nearest win (2 board reel set ups always is nearest win jackpot with some nudges) usually after the £4 or £5 gamble depending how buzzing it is then hope it rolls. If not, go again. Always avoid the bonus , this will try and board you. Made a shed load with this method and before they chipped it again , most times this method was an empty. New chip version countered this method to an extent but if you got a board and it had life in it , you could still do this method but was hard to get it on a roll. A great sign with the new chip is if it has the BB says message 'feature next' then you knock back the board or any bonus (bonus will try and get you a board) and play for a set up and hope it rolls. If it doesn't leave it

£15 Beasts and Frenzy were both superb. BB is definitely not as good on the later programs which mine is.

Good numbers when gambling on the wins is always a good sign! I'm sure there was an early program where the knockback method worked like on Psycho Cash Beast and Frenzy.

@JamesHardyFruitMachines 3 жыл бұрын

I've buzzed this a fair bit and obv with it being a £25 it's a later revision and knockbacks def don't work. In my head I always had this later than Franzy and Beast but you could well be right.

@whatwhatwhat8908 3 жыл бұрын

@@JamesHardyFruitMachines This was definitely released after Cash Beast and Frenzy but maybe at a time where the knockback method wasn't fully known. So the original £15 Big Brother had that same knockback program.

£25s weren’t the best on the series, rarely streaked/repeated, preferred the £15s! The club versions were much better really, there’s nothing better than seeing that board exchange stack up off a low win so you know it’s jp ready!

@JamesHardyFruitMachines 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah I echo that sentiment. Have had one JP rep, no run as yet with it, £15 Beast and Frenzy were exceptional.

Hello buddy long time no speak hope you're well, great video again used to love that machine , quick question, as it's based on physco cash beast and frenzy why do you think it hasn't got an invincible mode like the other two did

@JamesHardyFruitMachines 3 жыл бұрын

Psycho and Frenzy just gave Skill Stop starts didn't they? Club Psycho had an invincible as did Club Frenzy, do you mean Skill Stop starts?

@davidmellish3295 3 жыл бұрын

What are you talking about mate ?I think you getting confused with other machines as cash beast and frenzy never had an invincible board,they never flashed or went red etc . The club versions did though,the name would flash and you knew it was coming when you exchanged low down and it started higher (can't remember what exactly) on the knockout and nudges
