Reel 2 Reel - Empire (not a cinema thread)

[JG]

I'm a man of locations. I know where things are and how to get to them things. That's deliberately bad English for all you grammar Nazis, the rest is accidental bad English or over zealous auto-correct.
I have three locations for the subject titled machine.

Today I set myself the task, get a jackpot on this rubbish.


First stop, Merlin's Amusements Minehead. What a wasted journey! It has gone. Annoyed I played ABSOLUTELY nothing else, not even the £5 Round The Bend and drove to Silvers in Macclesfield. What a wasted journey! It has gone. I played ABSOLUTELY nothing else and prayed to God that Bedford was still there. Bedford was still there, in the same position, on the A6 between some shit hole that sounds like futon and an incredibly ordinary place full of cobblers and Houv City FC. There were no bagpipers in Minehead today.


IT WAS! Obviously Mark Pain has died and has left enough value for them to warrant keeping this. Let me tell you, this game is better than Reservoir Frogs (Bromsgrove!)


Ok first pound I got red wheel of fortune. This is like Reel Magic on Pyscho Cash Beast.

Hello JG here. Welcome.

Yes.
Good one.
Just incredible.
Thank you.
Deal or no Deal.
Here we go.


I only went and missed it like the blippin' twitting twotting twutting twetting twat that I am. Cherries. Now the chase was on. However this meant I could give the bandit an official appraisal.

Review. Four stars. Quirky, but strangely fun but some poor points.

What's really bad? Yep. The three keys feature. It's hard to get and it's just effectively a cash or bust. What is behind the window? I had five win spins for £3ish once but it's nearly always bust, tits, cleavage, Zeppelins, bust if you ask me. Bit rich having to 'earn' a cob.
The three hold 'skill' at Electro 2nd fastest speed. Hmmm. Fun for players, a little harsh for casuals. Controversial.
Board costs. Worst was about £3, best was 3/4 boards in a quid. 10p £5.


What happens if you hit red wheel of fortune on WILD? Is it like a P5? Is that MS?

3-2-1, use the hold buttons to skill three amounts on the alpha at their highest point.
Show me the money, cash combo.
Run the Gauntlet. Turbo cash.
Gambit. Win spin.

Likes to block at £3. Finally got red WOF and hit jp this time. No rep.

Also when you hi/lo a fruit win, the number reel equates to a bonus, so get cherries on a 3 hi for 4(Xtra life) and you go in for the life. 5+11 the bonus is feature exchange, but wait, you've already done that to get the feature. Surely they mean, no bonus.


That said I enjoyed my session on this. I can see why the glass may have been spit festooned in Minehead. However, quirks asid, this is the best £5 Empire out there. 60p and £1 bulbs on the up arrows are muxed up btw.


End.
