50p stake jailbirds
These are just insane here. 2 £75s today, the first one off a quid!
Got a board off an extremem bonus first spin, cashpot started at £6.40! Set it up for a laugh, and it duly lost on the 4th bag. Got back in off a respin +4, and it went up for £75.
The arcade set one was £3 starting but took a bit of a push to go. Around £35 in before it went up, but another £75. Sorry ob! ops:

Nice one mate! One of these has just appeared in my local Wetherspoons. Mt I'm not the biggest fans of Extremes, but since learning a few of the rips and the fact that B&Q (not the DIY shop!) has gone for £75 a few times recently off of a nominal stake, I've always tried a few quid.
MattB: When you say it's £4 starting and you should have it within £10 or so, how would you be going about it? Hi/loing for the 5 icons or playing the board?

"And do you ever contradict yourself, Minister?" "Well, yes and no..."
I've had no luck with Hi/Lo'in out the swags. Seems to block the hi/lo on mine quite nastily. I've played it once. £25 cash stack and £27.60 cash pot. started hi/lo'in but £50 later it's still killing me on higher than a 2!!!
Not even going up to 4 bags then killing me this was on the 1st gamble!!!
Wen't back to board play and within 2 features I had the cash stack £35 plus repeat followed by a £19 cashpot.
From my experience on them (that's a grand total of 3 machines) it tends to want to give out the JP rather than the swags.

Yup, hi lo all the way. £25 ones are miles better though, having played a few £35ers i can see why people moan about them taking the piss. Never seems to happen on a 50p/£25 one. Once it shows a £3 cash start or £4+ on level once i usually chase them. They can be funny sometimes and give say a £5 superboard open with a £1.20 start when nearly there. Always try and set them up for board testing, you might get a dodgy one followed by a £3er setting it up.

Casual punters really do seem to find Jailbirds appealling - and the boards are far enough apart that the machine seems to recoup losses pretty quickly.
Not having a 'COLLECT' button flashing away next to the cash stack when on a Mystery certainly seems to help.
I've only played my nearest £35 JP version on a handful of occasions, and so far I've had a single £35 top, three £70s and a memorable £105.
I've *never* seen anyone else play all out for the 5 swag bags, so I intend to keep going for it every 5 days or so and hope the £70s keep coming.

If they go flat, then just hi lo them again, whatever the stacks. Even if it looks like its on its arse and £1.60 starting, it will always go for the 2nd top. what i've found that if that if you get a flat, the board after holds the key. If it still shows £3 starts or big pots after, it nearly always does £50 gfiving you the split £75 (£25/£50). If if ain't stacking it will still go up within £15 or so, but will often be £25.
As nixxy says, mugs love them, easily the most played machine in the bowl here. If i could be arsed to go there every day, i'm sure it would be ready! I estimate that maybe 60-70% of the time i try the ones here they are ready to force.

You gamble the NUDGES with certain reel set-ups (which I cannot give anyone at this moment in time because I am making good money as the trick initiates as soon as a £3 board has been offered IF I have enough nudges in play to set up of course. So I don't tend to have to plough another £50 through when showing and this is why the machines are being cunts to force because of this method.

I hit mine again this evening and found it £7 away.
The first board £4 started and the cashpot opened at £7.60, so away I went.. first top was a jackpot (it climbed out the cash stack) which didn't repeat, after £55 in.
Knowing that couldn't possibly be the end of it, I tried the next board, which £3 started and went to £25 on the cash stack before bailing out. This is a prime example of what Matt just said - you know the next top is there with a board like this after the JP. £6 later, 5 swag bags for £70.
£61 in for £105, I'll take that every time thankyou!
