Seen this before all the cars what ave ya up the side but didnt have a clue it was IM and dont think anyone in the pub does either.

They replaced R2R with a FNC and a DOND WIYB with the MMM. So whats the best way to get the MS with an IM just going all the way up the side or on the feature board?

Also i take it it must still throw you on ? marks or doesnt make it as obvious as some other machines? as i know when i seen someone with it on R2R they didnt go all the way!

Well, you never need to gamble the 'bonus' in IM mode, which eliminates the worry about it chucking you a '?' in...

Feature board gives you a bit more play for your pound, but it really makes no difference whether you go up the cash trail or play the board... ;)

For those who don't know, look for the red hi-lo, you cannot lose these gambles, plus it's safe to reverse gamble these too.

I played MMM last night (replaced a Panther :( ) and the first board allowed me up to £35 on cash and top level on features without awarding Monster streak before losing.
Great, I thought..can't be long now....but then it took another £40 or so before giving me SSS which caught me by surprise as it doesn't let you hold start down to pause it. I hit it at £20 and it went to the top anyway...flat £35. Next board IM for £70.
Weird thing though giving so many crap boards between the initial £35 offer and getting the top about £40 later...seems to be programmed to throw lots of flat boards in amongst a happy machine.
Also, if it IM'd off the first top feature, are we looking at a machine that streaks like the old days after first top feature or was I just lucky it went anyway ?
I'd hate to chase one of these for a £35 for it to go dead after.

These do streak yes. Back to back IM's are not uncommon(on MMM) or the next board or 2 will offer another streak without actually being an IM as such. Thats probably the reason why it sucked after initially offering you a pot cos it was brewing up a nice streakypoos!!!

These can go HUGE when on one, I've seen 2 £70 MMM streaks in consecutive boards and staggered £105's are not uncommon.

MMM red streaks RARELY do in between £35 - £70 its usually one or the other, where as R2R does streaks like the old school zooma's where its normally £35 flat or £35 + £5 - £15 or of course the big one £80+.

As I've said elsewhere, very easy to read, but I must also mention MMM's can take the piss before going in, and if its dead afterwards then its gonna be a loss I'm afraid.

Experiment, learn, digest, form strategy. Combine all aforementioned = More profit than loss!!!!

IMPORTANT NOTE: There is a bug on MMM. When offered a hold win rip. If you have lines in-tangled within that win, it will say on the lcd "spin to win/lines" this always locks up the machine as it won't let you select which win to choose. Bad luck if you have a decent win there!! I think there is a JP set-up like this but I'm not to sure. Be aware!!!

Strangely these two machines offer nudges during bonuses, which is very unusual for a 5-liner.
