Games Media: Gold Rush
Posted: Sun Oct 30, 2011 8:14 pm
Hi there, folks.
I was playing a machine yesterday. It was a game that was the same named, or indeed very similar to what I played many years ago. It was a 30p one.
I was playing it for a while before it went "Hot ! Hot ! Hot..!" and the whole machine went red. Now I believed this to mean that I was now invincible, so I battered on with the odd high and low and taking care not to collect or do anything stupid. A few moments later I land on a '4' and high it. It lands on a '1.' Absolutely shell-shocked and gutted. The chances of me gaining that illusive £35 or more on the Mega Streak, or top feature were now gone. Why did it do this, and what did this thing that it did signify, then ?
I pumped another £150 or so in it after that, unfortunately. Terrible...
