If a machine describes TRUE SKILL by law it must adhere to this. You don't see/hear this term at all in the last few years. Also by law repeat chances must not be either 100% or 0%. Another law breaker here.

Nowadays some mc's dont have an LCD display like they used to.
That can make it more difficault as i tend to look at that more than the letters if you get what i mean?
(Also even if it does have a normal lcd display if the machines in a dark area with no lighting that can make it more difficault as well!)

Another thing is personally i find that if its to slow its harder than it would be if itwas a bit quicker!

What law says that? Just out of interest...

I've seen plenty of 'true skill' displayed on recent machines, most Barcrests do.

Reminds me of the good old days where you'd think you were mint by showing off and getting JP of test of strength without holding cancel down.

Whereas all you were doing was making an easy JP missable... ah well

Yep, repeat chances are definietly not allowed to be 100%, which is why they have repeat chance which flicks to no. Even a trueskill repat isn't counted as 100%, as they ar e(shock horror) missable!

I think legally that no repeat chance is allowed to be greater than 50% (which gets broken all the time, e.g. Maximillion, Red TOT etc).

Whenever you get offered a repeat chance on machines such as King Kebab, it flashes YES / NO and you sometimes get it you sometimes don't.

When it offers a true skill repeat, it has actually decided that you are going to win the repeat. Therefore, you have already won the repeat when it gives you the gamble.

Of course, turning down this guaranteed jackpot can pay dividends!

Or at least it used to... if most of the current crap of machines offered me a true skill repeat, I'd bite its hand off.

As a is so far away from o, i'm assuming it's either:

a) A delightful intentional mis-spell
b) He was tanked up on gin, and missed the key

As much as i'd like it to be b, knowing his eminences humour i'm guessing it was a. He threatened me with a guillotine last week, so i'd better watch what i say! :D :shock: :P 8)

Isn't all the above negated by the phrase: "This machine may at times offer a choice where the player has no chance of success"..?
This machine may at times offer a choice where the player has every chance of bankruptcy

1pm saturday sounds like a great time to be leathered to me! :D 8)

Judging by your sig, looks like gin was a fine guess.
I'd best keep it above board, don't want any drugatory (groan :x ) comments thrown in do we!
