Really can't work this machine out.

The £25 seems to play awful. Was experimenting and rechased it seven times and it went flat £25 every time. Awful.

THen the other day in a spoons, chased it, cost £20 which went for £50, nice I think. Next board goes in again, excellent but the top streak only goes a tenner. I mean, thats just bullshit really. Next board, dead first hit.

Surely you must be able to do these vivid style, hi-lo to JP then play it out for a top feature/im?

Whenever you get top feature its normally an IM, just like extremes/vivids.

Has any1 ever got JP repeater on this? Can it even repeat? Perhaps theres a MASSIVE streak pot building up because only the top feature is ever played for.

That slow bonus rip isn't worth singing about, it only gives you an extra gamble or so, but only on the 11bonus,3bonus numbers, the 6 bonus changes as you spin.

£35ers have been okay, though only played twice. both have been under 30/40 in for a top which has gone 70, on 50p play. Not surre what to think of it.

Got to be something dodgy on these i think, or some sort of rip. The one here doesn't even key any more (did 10 days ago or so) and plays like piss all the time. Used to regularly be £90 odd off as well. I say just burn the bloody lot of them, and get something new in!

This is just a suggestion as I have'nt rried it yet but would like your views.

Why not gamble up to the top on the BLUE (Right) side rather than the RED (Left). ie. Kill yourself off on RED each time or hope to avoid the burgers. Anyone know the 11(BONUS) trick?

been playing this machine for ages cos i clocked on to some interesting stuff when it was first released and seeing as hardly any players play them they are always buzzing. firstly if u go to unlimited spins then it wil never repeat. likewise with the cans. however it is not a garenteed repeat if u dont let it got unlimited spins but more often than not it will repeat. if it does repeat then the next board is free but wont go for over £15 so try to build the cashpot up then collect it. good signs are burgers grouped close together on board entry. if u enter the board with 6 spins or more its garenteed. e.g selector of skill stop or boost of the bonus to get to 6 spins or over. by knowing this u can work it so u dont get unlimited spins.

Theese are really dodgy as theese give £75s but the stupid super bugs only gives a £70 at max... well so I believe.

The true skill bonus rip as said is not worth boasting about although can get a few extra quid gained.

I find that gambling the cash up on all numbers soon as it gives let em spins fow wins is the best as it really does win on any number.

Have had JP 3 times and not one repeat, and starting on 6 spins I can assure you is not a JP board, have had it 3 times once was the top other times they were not.

Did I not mention that asshat? Read the post.

Going up to unlimited spins is how I chased it. Mite have to avoid it from now on.


Edit: The spell checker works :)

Ive only seen 25s on these. Is it better to get the top from the red side or the blue side? Ive only had it on the red side.

Well ive had a £55 top from the 3 cans, a £50 top by going all the way up the red side and a £50 top by going all the way up the blue side so im not sure. Although my mate did gamble all the way up the blue side and managed to get £10 before it jumped from the £15 to miss!!!

But i havent played for about 2 weeks now as i havent got much money, but im going to investigate further when i next get paid.

shitey shit shit machine!
Stupidly played this last night without doing my research. It was 'apparently' buzzing all over the place. gave me high spin antries, win after win after win. All blocked after abuot £5. Eventually let me get upto 10 spins with a 3 so tookthe Spins, went red, climbed all the way tot he top 4 off and span in a 3, friggin monster mystery, booted me off, grrr! Finally got the Top about £20 later and all it gave was £25! dead on its arse after that. £50 in £25 out! Maybe thats why they are taking over my patch!

Well I had my first £80 win (yes £80) off the top feature on this last night. Only cost me £6 to get playing on 50p spin. Started on 2 spins and gambled upto 7 spins for the 3 burgers and just kept going all the way up the red side for the top. It took ages to get because it was only landing on the £5 and £10 boxes. I managed to get another top feature the next board (£10 later) that went for £25!!

So i was very pleased with that profit as i havent played a fruit for a few weeks and thats the best result ive had in about a year!!

With most machines, you have a pretty good 'feeling' about a board and whether or not it'll let you have the top feature. I've noticed with Manic Muncher that it's the boards that really don't give you that feeling (yet still go to the top streak) that go big.

The obvious ones, where it awards you loads of Mystery Moves, seem to give flat tops.
