Foolish me

I was feeling lucky. I had whacked in £1 into a DONDWIYB? and the discy thing had dropped in on the 2nd credit (50p play). Long story short. £25. Whacked in another quid, no repeat. £1 in and DOND again (disky wotsit), left with 1p and £25, offerred £21.24 (?!) - no contest, collect, £25 was actually in the box again lol, not that I minded, £3 difference.
No repeat and then £1 in for three red phones £100 Mega Streak. Or not. Just being silly now. May have happenned, I don't know, I just left it.
Anyway, still buzzzing at the audacious blag I wandered over to a Jailbirds. £35. Not really played the £35ers much. Bunged a quid in - dropping. Nice. About £4 for the board and it's a £1.20/2s/2n start. Not very hot but then I'm thinking you'd force a Abb1 Red when properly full, why not this? Surely worth a shot. It started to pick up with a couple of £2.40 starts 3s/2n looking a bit better. You know how long it takes for a board though. £40 in and I'm starting to think, something's funny here, not even had a good cashpot board, cash ain't stacking and to be honest it's playing shite. Then the nightmare starts. I've put my £20 in coins float + my DOND money in and then I notice, then I decide to notice. It's full but there's a nice red cross on the notechanger. So next board I take £2 (all it was going to offer incidentally and that's £70ish in solid forcing!!!! YIKES!!!) and collect. Quid in and my worst fears are confirmed. CLUNK! CLUNK! CLUNK! CLUNK!! It's as empty as a half full glass of liquid emptiness.
WHAT A BLOOMIN' NINNY!!! WHAT A BIG WALLY!! WHAT A PRIZE PLONKER!! WHAT A STUPID BLEEDING GIT!!!
Now the machine is saying, ok there's a fault with my mech, I threw in a few half arsed boards, but in reality I'm deader than dead. I got you, now you're fooked haha! Let's have £40 of £1 board fun. So I start gambling the swag bags, because it reduces the torture of inevitable doom.
Come on, £70 in for £2 back you have to play on and face the music.
£135 in for what felt like a bit of a steal onto swags. Wasn't giving them readily, but with about 20 shots got 'em. I'd given up the will to live. Oh no. This'll be like forcing out a £10 afters £35 Invincible. £35 guaranteed I thought.
£5
£10

ok. Here we go.
Miss
Miss
Miss (no of course not, do you think I'd do it like that if it was flat £35?)
Miss (Look we've already discussed this ....carry on reading)
Miss (Smith to the till please came an announcement)
Miss (ty eyed the two lovers embraced outside the closing Costa Coffee)
HIT (shot was an old mediocre fruit machine from BFG)
£15......£20....
and then the biggie
sweet £35
and it paid out £2 and then emptied. A lovely great big fat IOU for £103.
So apart from my twattishness...
1) Was I very lucky to get £105 top, or is there sympathy (ha ha ha) programming in place to give you a maximum top after a big struggle from dead?
2) Does this ever carry on rolling after it does a £105 top?
3) I shall be more wary in future.
I felt successful to have lost £30 on it!!
