Money Spider and the like...(not Bucks Bunny and the like)...
I've come to the conclusion that there are 3 types of IM on this...
1. The obvious first roll to a ?
2. The board that shows £35 cash more often than not will go but I've had a couple that didn't go recently.
3. A fairly new one on me...had it twice recently...you get into the second board and it just keeps landing on supershots all the time until you get the top.
I can't really work out how to take a board where the middle cashpot goes high...i.e. £25+ It's a board that gets thrown at you from time to time, usually whilst on the force anyway. A small part of me thinks it may be a separate pot but I've only took it on a wind down after a top feature.
Superskillstop.....very rare on these..how are people taking them...straight away or knockback for red middle which is hard to get anyway.
Too many of these around at the moment anyway in my area so I can't ignore them when they are full and showing inner boards of £5 +.
Next up: Caribbean Cash
First time experience the other day...seems like a NMTJ clone...tried a force...cost way to much for SSS and then after knocking back I simply didn't get an IM hi/lo board...we are talking £50 after first SSS here. Took a red Mega off a normal board which did £35 and £5 and did get a SSS back but I'm sure only through the extra value put through it.
Is the red caribbean cash on the superboard the same as red Mega Streak ?
Not one to stay on my list.

Yo!
-Money Spider and the like-
Yup, had all three of these subtle IM types. The third one is particularly nice, and you can usually tell if you get offered something other than 2/3 Super Shots / icon. Mega Streak offered is usually a good sign that the top is just around the corner.
The cashpot on these is interesting. I think you may be on to something when you say that they're a different pot, as if taken during a force, it doesn't seem to set the machine back too much. I had a £35 cashpot off of a Warped, which was followed shortly by a standard 'Warped' feature which did £35 and then a red 'Warped' which did the £105!!! That's actually probably the single best result I've had on any machine. Will put out a health warning though, that this is extremely rare!!
-Carribean Cash-
The jury is still out on this one, although I do have a punt on it now and again, which usually results in a few quid loss. Although snared an IM on it the last time I played by having two red skull 'n' crossbones and utilising a no lose and extra life to ensure I got a skill bonus for the third and final icon. Beware of the Carribean Cash feature though, it likes to drop in 'True Skill' repeats a lot of the time before it's even got to JP value, so don't just hammer the start button whilst sipping your pint.

Hmm, I've often wondered how the 'hidden' IM would be possible on these if you start on the inner ring. Anyone experienced it?
One tip also, on these and clones, I never high/low gamble on the first square on the board, as if you go to a '?' straight after that, it's NOT IM...
