Hmm, feel free to disagree but I think it's slightly misleading to say that red BB or red BTQ would "usually" go for more than one Jackpot - it can be very hit and miss in my experience!Firefox wrote:Just force it to death, gamble on 10's, 3's for shots and it will go eventually. Red BB will "usually" go for at least £50 (£25 jackpot), if no one else is playing it right it will be £75 everytime..
I do agree though that the more the casual players wander along collecting Bronze Streaks etc the better; it really does take time and patience to gamble your way to the top feature, let alone having the tenacity to ensure that when you do get it, it's red - because of this, so many other wins are offered along the way that ordinary punters are 90% likely not to try and push it the whole way.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I gamble every number I get when on the Extra Bonus square on the inner ring - the gambles win so often that it's worth it, even going higher than a 6 etc, until you've got the top feature lit red. Then I just continue gambling it for Taxi.
There seem to be plenty of signs to make you *think* the machine is ready, but some of them can be red herrings (eg. feature entry via red boxes... has anyone ever had more than about 5 spins on one of those boards before dying?) - the 'holy grail' in the good signs department seems to be landing on the Skill Stop square (or being awarded Super Skill from the mystery); being awarded Wild Skill from the bonus; and exiting the inner ring only to survive the mystery and spin a 10 to go straight back into the inner ring on the right side arrow.
Those three things seem to be the best indicator that you're either on a Top Feature-capable board, or are about to be.
That most definately explains it then. I've only tried it on BTQ and as you say you can't even try to do it because the board doesn't allow the set up.
