Alrite lads, quick question when you get an IM are the signs for this purely on the name of the fruity or something else! Give us some info on the diferent machines please Barcrest, Bellfruit, Red etc. I understand on Reds all the features are red am i right??
The obvoius for DOND is all red phones and the name flashes!! cant miss that! how easy is it to miss one!
Thanking you.

There is no IM on Reds, on some Barcrests eg Darts clones, the little barcrest logo will flash a couple of times on feature entry and that is it.

Yeh ive seen that little barcrest logo flash on bully for you i think! the one with Darts Marathon as top feature. Thier was a tiny little barcrest by the bonuses at the bottom of the feature trail! it was well small! asked one of the lads i was with he said it was just a better feature!
Was he telling fibs? or are you talking about a different logo, like i said it was a tiny!
Any other dead givaways for a IM on bellfruit, vivid etc.

If it flashes on entry then it's IM. If it's during feature play then it just means the feature lit on feature stack is super.
Most other IM's are obvious. The majority of newer machines do the flashing logo on the top of the machine.

Why would you have had a fall out with him then?
Bellfruits nearly always say 'go all the way' on the lcd and generally make it fucking obvious. Sometimes the main logo will chnage colour rather than flash. SOME reds DO have an invincible mode, but only ever activated DURING the feature (by filling the name/getting 3 extra lives etc) and not when you fist enter feature. THe only IM I can think of that is subtle enough to miss is the dart clones, already mentioned here.

I missed that the other day - never been a fan of the dart clone Barcrests so never played them much... few weeks ago I was playing one at Havant train station and I noticed the Barcrest logo flashing briefly before the feature. I think I ended up collecting £10 or so before bottling it as I didn't know it was an IM.

Yep your'e right i forgot about the 3 extra lives ones

Mind you for the number of times it actually gives you it you may as well pretend it doesnt exist :-)

They don't really 'count' in my opinion as a goiod amount of gambling is often needed before you get it-then again the old Volcano maachine would go invincible mid-feature with the BWB button sometimes.
Don't forget invincible (the machine) also gives IM off a full name.
Does anyone know exactly WHAT made volcano go invincible mid feature; was it three times rounds the board or something? fucking nice machine when you knew how to play it! Emulated?
