Cool Games: Breaking The Law

I'd just had a £70 red top feature on Bucks Bunny this afternoon, when it threw in a bonus.

Reely Crazy, it offered. The reels move round, and Jackpot is in view, so I hold it there.

£35 appears on the display momentarily - but then becomes £36. A cherry win is also in view going diagonally through the Jackpot/WILD/Jackpot line.

Wondering why the hell it's offering me £36, I decided to collect it rather than turbo gamble for the top - and £36 it duly deposited into the bank.

Considering the legal bit above the coin mech states that a maximum of Thirty-Five Pounds can be won from this machine in any one game, I thought my £36 was rather kind :)

Now then, can I take them to court and claim that my life has been turned upside down by this event, and win a whole lot more, I wonder?

I had that too a while back but I gambled it for BB and won: £25! On a £25 JP machine

Interesting! I would hope that the designers would ensure that there was no combination that could offer more than the JP value. Or perhaps it was programmed that the machine can never roll in that combo during normal / feature play, but they forgot about Reely Crazy.

:P

I have had the smae kind of thing with Bucks bunny and billy the quid

Reel crazy had the sevens on a winline and the cherries on a win line so the win is £10.50 but it hasnt got that win on the board so it gives the £15 pound.

also had the JP but never noticed if any other win is there will keep an eye out.

Can u get the cherry win with Jackpot?????????

Because there isnt any cherries in view only Grapes which is a pound which would be £36.

Dont think the cherries and Jackpot are next to each other on the reels

You do if you get a jackpot with a wild.

I have to indeed seen this but i think the win might of been £37 maybe even £38, you cant take that though can you? Doesnt it just offer the chance to take the Jp or gamble for the top?

The reel sequence was like this:

CHERRY <SOMETHING> JACKPOT

<SOMETHING> WILD <SOMETHING>

JACKPOT <SOMETHING> CHERRY

... and no I didn't play on. Maybe I should've given it a try.

The Jackpot £35 was flashing away, with the turbo gamble encouraging me to gamble between BB and £8 (I think), but the display said 'Take £36 or Gamble'. So despite the £35 bit being lit, £36 was awarded.

I've also noticed a few BTQs with incorrect prize cards down the cash stack - they list Cherries as £1 wins when they're 50p, Strawberries as £8 when infact it's £5, and so on. This has caused a load of complaints from casual punters who've collected 4 Super Strikes and ended up with the £10 win lit - and £6 goes into the bank.

I have already commented on this but there is only one JP on the first reel. Three up is the grapes and three down is the oranges........

Now unless the reel line up are different on the ones that you play how can you get a cherry on the win line with a jackpot in view? Answers on a post card please

Surely the machine could have been programmed to ignore any other wins if Jackpot is rolled in?

Playing with 5 winlines, the possible ones are:

J W J
O O O
O O S

(extra Orange win)

G S G
J W J
O O O

(extra Orange win)

J S O
O W O
O O J

(extra Orange win)

J 7 O
O W O
O 7 J

(extra Orange win)

G S J
G W G
J O C

(extra Grape win)

G 7 J
G W G
J 7 C

(extra Grape win)

So yeah, it does look like you can't get a cherry!
