The reason is that they usually cost upwards of £50 to get the top even from happy/full, which you are then relying on a streak/£70/105 top to even get your money back, and this is about a 20-30% chance at best.

Honestly matt, put any tripe machine infront of you and you sing its praises.

Erm, thats exactly what you do on a red though? £50 for £70? Jeez. Naturally through the fiver block and at least 4 strikes and its ok. £10+ and brill. I don't actually play a lot of these as you obviously only play 'em when you fin them in places with other stuff you go in for. I mean everyones lost a shedload in a red before, never been say £50+ down on these. I think living in laandan just makes these worse mate, being the onyl one who gets involved with them here probably helps a hell of a lot.

Thing is there matt is that all the reds i've played (SMTM & S & L Exception) Are virtually guaranteed £70 but BTQ, Bucks bunny are just pot luck. I took on a 86% Bucks bunny that was only £6 off full on a saturday evening that was £5 repeater red happy 2nd board that cost £65 for a red Bucks bunny that did £35!!! then block at £4-£5 afterwards again. The time it takes to force these out and the chance of them going just keeps me off them unless theres nothing else about. I do prefer them to DOND's though.

I had a session on a 76% BTQ in a services. It was full and only £3 happy to start. I took it on and soon found myself £100 into it after three flat middles, I clawed back £45 (£35+£10) and was about to leave when 'one more board' a silent im (I think) for Quilly the Brid. Went for £70, then prised a £5 repeat (red) off a £5 board next go and stoned it. Was very pleasantly surprised to finish up.

I play these QUITE a bit and find £35/£70 or £25/£50 quite common. I've only had 1*£75 and that was from a flasher from the BTQ that was in **that** bookies (first win stopper

))) BUT bad kicking from FOBT

((((((( )

I have never, ever had a full on all in one streak £105 from a Bucks. I know loads players who say they've had it!!! I've chased these from £15 happy first board. Never seen a £105 - had the staggerred £140 before on a clucking £125 hopper. Nice one. I usually find the random flash/Wild skill board is no better.

Where are you finding these juicy £105 BTQs? Arcade/pub mode?

Had a funny one in a Ladbrokes not so long ago, that'd go in like a dream dead quick, but nearly always £35. Nicest result £7 in for £70+afters on a Bucks.

Actually no, that staggerred was the best, was about £20 over the back for £125 out then having to cycle to bring it down.

I was playing a BTQ last nite that was playing nicely so i decided too force, I was £33 involved and it gave a random flash [first time i've had this] anyway i took the billy the quid red feature that went £140 all in 1 go

The first £35 was made up of lots of small wins, then it gave me 3 lots of cool games symbols for the £140

unbelievable roll, did'nt know these could go this big, by the time i'd tried a board i walked over a ton up.

I've been lucky enough to have the £140 all in one go top, but I got it for only £9, and it was made up little wins for the first £35 then 3 Cool game wins. Don't think I've had the JP since!!

On the subject of Cool Games/Games Media, I was on a Gold Rush and I tok a win which put me onto £76 in the bank. Obviously I know most machines auto-drop to £50/60 bank and let you carry on, but this machine dropped the lot. Is this the norm for most CG/GM machines? ( BTQ left £70 of my streak in the bank)

Mine auto collected down too £70 too.

most global etc. drop the entire lot in one lovely stream, gets it over with quickly at least if its £105!

The £140 is awesome, ive got a £25 Bucks here which did the equivalent 4 JPs in one go for a £100 top last sunday.

Obscenities removed...

Anyway, a BTQ replaced a, somewhat profitable, CADD, near me, but took it on last Friday, with a pretty good result. The flash came out of nowhere. Well, I say that, but it had been offering me £10+ cashpots (I find that is one of the best signs on these - particularly if that "£?" adds a large amount to the pot. The flash board went for the nice £105, which had taken approx. £35 to go. £70 profit off of one machine can not be sniffed at.

As a general rule though, if I have to play a GM / CG machine, I'd prefer a Warped / Goldrush, as even if these aren't playing ball, you can snare a decent-ish win, usually with a repeat chance thrown in as well. Whereas these BTQs seem to be more of an all or nothing approach.

Got offered a £35 cash shot straight away 1st board yesterday, wasn't flashing so took it and tested for next board which was normal (5 in, took 3 repeat for 3 out).

1st board wasn't flashing but wondering if i should have pushed it (was it a possible non flashing im board?) or was i right to collect.

I'm thinking i got the tail end of a streak.
