I got my fingers burnt on a £35 JB t'other week - was £4 starting, getting the cashpot up to the £25+ mark, top level of shots but would not give me the five swags! Was running low on available fundage, so had to resort to collecting a few high cashpots until I could tell it had died. Thankfully, I only ended up £40 down, and recouped most of this later, on a couple of OARs.
What was I doing wrong? I'd gone a good £70 in before having to resort to pot collecting. Tried hi-loing the bags, would often die on a 2 or 11 even for the second one!
I'm off to this pub this PM, so may have a review of it's state and see if it is worth a pop. Any tips that I could be armed with prior to approaching the beast would be useful! Though ultimately, I may well steer clear of it and play others that I'm more acquainted with...

"And do you ever contradict yourself, Minister?" "Well, yes and no..."
I just hi lo them on the swags if £3/£4 starting
If it goes flat i do the same thing again
Yes they can start at £1.60 even when ready, so 2/3 boards are needed to test where its at
You will lose gambles on any numbers as you will win on any too
You can also hi lo them from landing on +3 cash no matter what number you are on
Had good results so far, although its only a matter of time before i put £50+ through and it dies after a £35
MattV you did nothing wrong it should have been fine in the end
I had one do £35 then £70 the other day after it cost £50 to go from £4 starting
I have heard from mates though of having £4 starts and it going stone dead after £35 top and they have put £50/£60 in for it
Not had it happen yet

surely if your chasing it again after a flat you aint gonna realise its dead till its too late, ie £50 for £35 then going again and realising after say a score its dead, then you think well i'm £40ish down now so i'll push on, before you know it your £100 in for another flat, and so on, not talking from experience because i've never seen one. just got me thinking.
is it best too play a few boards after a flat just too see how its playing??

Tonight, mine cost me £60+ for the first top (every pound backed) which was flat; the second came along £10 later in the shape of an IM board (the one where it spins an 11/bonus to the first red key, then gives No Lose for the 2nd and 3rd red keys).
I'd smelt a rat after the first top, as the machine continued backing...
With the original £35 top in the bank, the 2nd top had given £70 and began to auto-dump when the hopper ran out of coins. So I'll never know whether it would have been generous enough to say 'Good Shot!' on the final £35, as it decided to say 'Call Manager - IOU £83' instead.
For some reason it'd backed every coin rather than diverted the necessaries to the hopper - hence the empty hopper. Grrr....

This machine may at times offer a choice where the player has every chance of bankruptcy

This might sound like a ridiculous question, but when you say Hi/Loing do you mean just Hi/Loing the top feature icon as soon as you get on the board till it gives in?
Also if your top feature gives a flat £35, do you all recycle that first or just keep it banked and keep using your float?

Yes mate just hi lo on swags if showing £3/£4 start's
Does not matter whether you use your own float, or collect the first £35 and use that
I played one again on thursday, £4 starting
Cost me £45 for a £70 top
This recoups money really fast too
Nearly every time i go to it, it's ready
Not complaining though
