I'm aware of the general idea of forcing a machine, I think. Basically don't take any prizes and gamble all the way to a jackpot.
But how does a machine register a game when you could win with 100% certainty but chose to not do so.
eg, on a standard game you might have £35 on the cash stack and decide to hi/lo to get it to £70 and lose. I consider this to be a gamble and as such the payout amount isn't increased.
But what of this scenario:
eg, playing double dond, £1/£5 and £1/£70 left with offers of £2 and £35. Obviously you have £1 in your box so it's a straight choice between do you want to win £1 or £35? There's no gamble here. Does the machine at this point assume it's paid out £35 and it's your own stupid fault if you didn't take it?
Assuming it uses a compensator/reflex/stabiliser/pot/bucket or whatever the hell you want to call it, then it will remove whatever you collect.
Think of it as a bank account. You (the machine) put money in when you start a game, you take it out when you get a win. If you don't get a win for whatever reason, the money stays in the pot.
Cheers. I suspected that's how it would work but thought I'd check. I only thought of it when I saw someone stupid enough (random group of lads on a night out) to no deal on that same configuration
