did exactly the same a month or so ago. I was 450 in when it was up to 360. when it maxed i was in for just over a grand. got the 5 fatties for 650 loss. sickening feeling from 450 up isn't it?! especially if it gives fuck all wins. from 470+ mine started to chuck in so many 4 shields as well.....

Well I had incredible luck for a change!!

I knew it was chipped but had loads come out that were, don't think they climb out that often.

Was never more than £220 in and binned it with £140!! Amazing play and something I'd never seen before either. Got 5 frogs, which is normally £40-70. It did the usual low amounts on the first 3 then BOOM £91 obviously expecting the ogre but then BOOM for £146!!! Got about £268 in total I think!! What the fuck??!!!

Finally I luck out on something and I lose £80!!! Am well aware it could of been £800 tho!!!

Was like making a bag to be honest!!!

I wouldn't say things are that bad my friend!!

Finding these with half decent pots is easier these days, yeah you're gonna brain out on one now and again but it's the choice u make!

Rare to see a maxed out one.

If anyone fancies their luck then get to birchanger quick!! Give the ltd a miss tho!!

Ive not really seen many chipped ones high tbh, 2 in the 400s one gave it one didn't and one in the 300s that didnt. That said I don't trawl around services which is where Id imagine you'd be more likely to see them higher. In arcades I would say they generally get VERY little play.

Given even on an unchipped one 297 is a low EV, the chance it might not come out added to this would definitely make playing it a -ve EV play. Different strokes for different folks though as they say. ...

Oh I totally agree OB could have turned out to be a fucking disaster. But I'm taking on an unchipped one at £297 all day long mate.

I could have actually binned it about a ton up after my frog miracle but by then the CP was on about £410, so in my opinion Altho it turned out to be the wrong one, you would defo crack on with one in the £400's even if you know it's chipped.

Those 4 shielders tho :) )) Damn they get to you!!!!

I've had reports of crazy frog features eminating out of the Wirrall area. I took on a £456 pot on a clipped unit last week. It maxed at £499.40 for a small loss (-£20ish). After £20 in it did 4 castles and a few aces for a meaty £105 bank. However it was 4 shielding like a good 'un and I figured it may be a 'genuine' pot. Only on the basis that when I've maxed out prior bogus pots they tend to build slow. My last five serious play attempts have been building up to a max in three, doing a whack trying to get out a maxed and one actually popped out for a £200 raise. All clipped units. I think once they max they stick for at least £500 to a possible £10,000 rotation. Anyone disagree with that?

I've played a few chipped ones and that's the first I had max out, but also gave me by far the best play for my money - Maybe some kind of compensation there? I've also played ones where the pot builds so slow sometimes, but on each of those occasions it has given the pot.

Anyone know if they chipped the Caribbean Cashes? Rare to find them but I know of a few dotted about. Much tighter on the features these in my opinion tho.

Yes JG they can sit for an age maxed out. I wonder if mine is still there? I remember Kesh maxing it out a while back from about £360 odd, the next day it had gone tho. Maybe someone got out of jail, either that or done total brains!!!

Yes I said a 297 pot is a +ev for an unchipped one, so of course you'd take it on! When its in the 400's I'd imagine it worth plowing on for the 499 or get the pot regardless based on the fact it won't that often cost too much to see the max out.

I don't agree with the 4 shields getting to you bit though, you see it 100's of times and it's not exactly suprising when it doesn't bring in the 5th.

What suprises me is people taking on unchipped ones on at 220-240, which I'd honestly be sceptical about the EV being at all positive, I think people just do it for the sake off it, which is certainly the case with clacket lane, which is the most pointless place on earth to EVER visit, been past there about 5000 times, stopped maybe 1-2% of those times and it's always been a waste of time bar the very odd time the mega was worth it, which has now gone btw. Ironically Ive actually done better off the wheel of wins game, which I put £10 in for the megapot £499.10, than the few times Ive played the jpking on 300ish amounts, and made less than that £500 combined.

i know of chipped units i "check" regularly - 100 times each in last year and i've never seen one maxed, apart from when i have done it! :( in the long run i reckon 350+ is a long term winner even if you know it's 100% chipped. still does winning 200 5 times in a row make up for losing 700 on the 6th mentally?! makes me feel ill. 3 castles 19, 4 castles 39, 5 men 89 - what a disappointment! anyone jackpot on high lo?
