I have a spanking new Extreme clone at my work, £35, so the nudge trick is out and the key trick doesn't even have a look in, so what is left that is good from Extremes, not yet familiar with the set-ups myself. Jailbird clone BTW.
The set-ups don't really work aside from the <-><-><orange+1> and other variants to bring the <bell+4> in. Mattb seems to get on with these new 'uns though
Fully Steamin', it's not one of the best machines i've played by far, and if everything's gone on these then it seems pointless playing them, especially as i'm not a forcer, costs dearly for a board.
It looks like a direct clone of jailbirds, these 50p extremes are poor imo, they often cost £50-60 from stacking the cash trail, and if you are lucky they MAY repeat for £70/£105, I've had a few occasions where they have been full ( not refill ) and starting on £3 only to put £55 for £35, then it goes dead, reforcing ends up costing you another £55ish and it may just be another flat £35.
Have had a few £105's to be fair but in general, this was a poor upgrade from the 30p extremes
I've only had 1 go of a £35 Jailbirds and your right, even from a £10+ 1st board it cost £60 to force the top which did £70 then followed that with a £19 Cashpot. So whilst still in profit it is a risky machine for the push.
