50p stake jailbirds

Got £75 after forcing this again off 50p stake!

Has anyone actually forced this on 50p and played them up bigtime yet?
ie. £60 in for £25 out when keyed up not near a refill day?

Might be worth stopping regular on route if consistent good reports from the 50p force.

they're not great tbh, if the cash isnt stacking its not worth it, they do like repeating, but its rarely great profit

I like these a lot. The fact they cost more per board is great for fillup times - and they are much more streak friendly. Got a £50 today followed by a £9 pot, with a £4 board that set up after. £63 out for about £45 in. It's not going to be huge profits if we're being honest, but they can make you a nice few pennies quite easily.

the thing is matt, had it not repeated the pot, youd have been down on it -ok they like to repeat, but relying on this to make a few pennies hardly makes it a great machine. When they first came out I had some good resuts on them, but that seems to have calmed down alot now; its ok, thats all.

Yep - but the fact that i've forced these about 6 times now and not had any flat results yet gives me confidence. You can't grumble about any machine thats good for a bit of profit - and i think this one fits the bill nicely. There's 2 of them here now, and i'd like to think they can make me £40 odd a week between them. Not bad at all 8)

had a few flat £25's from them, played alot of both this and 50p campers, and now and again you have a nasty result on one, I would compare this sort of machine to say noterunner, which was usually £40 for £50, this is pretty much the same prospect, but slightly more dodgy, as they are occasinly miles off stacking the cash ( ok if you only play when the cash is stacking then not at all dodgy - but you wont find that many that are stacking from the off ) despite looking reasonably happy.

ok having played these a bit more, I like them even LESS!

Take this one today... £15 off, first board, cashpot starts at £5.60, cash not stacking tho, THAT board, cash goes to £20, cashpot to £21.60, and then lose....

should be ok you'd think..... oh no your not... £80 to get a top £25 ( within the first £20 it started the cashpot on £4+ 3 times BUT cash not stacking for £60 ), then £15 for another top £50, and thats your lot, cost £10+ for the next board, stone board, same story with the next board

the time before, similar story, £5 cashpot starting, £60 for £50 WOW! Matt your cashpot sign is not at all valid mate!

Try avoid 70pc machines and use your 50p(+6pc)

this was 78% and obviously I was playing on 50p.

I've never had any problems with ones doing nice pots. I hope you know that once a new level is unlocked you are guaranteed more shots....helps a lot. If you are only pennies in, sometimes it'll throw the £20-£23 cashpot board in (that won't go all the way) which is worth having instead. Trial and error i guess, not found either of my Jailbirds ripe for a force for a while now!

I've got 2 round my way.
78% payout
first time 2 weeks ago had £25 JP plus Repeat then next board £15 cashpot so £65 off around £30 ish. A mate had a go a few days later and got a flat £25 off £20. A weel later i got the 5 swag bags which went for £75 off around £40 in.
The other 1 has given me a flat £25 for 30 in and also a JP repeat but that had cost almost 50 to get.
It's 1 of my favourites at the mo as i don't play the fruits that often and the only tool in my arsenal is the willingness for a good old fashioned force.

Having a good time on these at the moment. Had one go for £75 after £15 in the weekend, then a £70 (£35er) from £30 in. Happy days. :D

Right, had a crazy one on this today (50p/£25).

Was £3 ready from the off, so i decided to just hi/lo it out. Got the bags for about £20 in, which did £25. Reforced it, and it did £25 again. A third reforce did £25. I was about £20 down at this point. Still £4 starting, reforced a 4th time, and it did £50 very shortly after the last £25. £75 banked, and now i'm £20 odd up. Next board was extra cash, and a £5 start??!!

Now i didn't know what to do. I decided to not chase it again and it seemed ok. Managed to eke £15 cash from that board, followed by a setup for £8 and a £10 outdoor sports equivalent. One more board for £4 and i left it. Made about £40 in the end. Main question is was another rechase on? I thought it might con me and block for ages then only do £25. Probably like getting a red star choice after a £75 top on LAB - no chance of another top, but value still there.

I wouldnt compare these to LAB, they are very wierd, restack all the time, but not many tops are good profit ( ie. they cost £20 for £25 )... poor programming and a poor machine if you ask me...
