Charlie Chedda’s – 12/02/2021
The videos were shaky and not well oriented it as in was in my breast pocket), so I capture some stills from the original footage.
The location was larger than expected and had ~ 20 COAM’s on the left, and fish games on the right. There were several fish tables, but along the wall were seated, upright versions with different themes (but essentially the same mechanic).
All COAM’s were the same title made by someone named ‘Triangle Games’, and mounted in some very low-frills cabinets that felt of chipboard. Most of the buttons didn’t work, or were covered in food/spills, and was on-screen actions only. The monitors are touchscreen and run on Windows (I saw the default Windows cursor on one of them). Each cabinet also had some sort of contact card reader, but I never saw anyone use them.
Once you press cashout there is no ticket that prints. You have to go to a cashier and tell them the PIN you just used. They use some sort of POS that allows the cashier to look up a transaction and mark it as complete/paid. I cashed out for $16.61 (161 credits) and they gave me $15.00.
Fish games allowed direct cash input, but in order to play a slot, you needed to enter a username and a PIN, and then conform the PIN. Only then is that game’s BV active.
Each game required the user to make a selection to finish a play.
Example: 5 reel game > Press Play > Reels index. On one of the reels you have a timer, and before that timer ran out (~15 seconds or so) you needed to choose two different options of what the reels showed. The one that gave the better result had a flashing button, letting you know which was best. Each and every play requires the player to make a selection, not just plays with wins. All games were essentially just simple slots, with the exception of one that was a single line game
This is literally all of the legal text in the game.
