Juggling Jackpots

Hello all, joined this site a year or so ago and been (ahem) busy so not had a chance to get me feet under the table!

Apologies by the way if this thread has been covered already, tried having a look but me computers going slow and was pissing me off trying to go over 20+ pages of threads so figured you'd be decent enough peeps to throw a dog a bone :D

My local has Juggling Jackpots in at the minute and to tell you the truth I'm not rating it highly at all. Has anybody got any advice regarding this machine. I reckon that it's a piece of shit and should steer clear to be honest and after reading that thread about JJ Gold (never even seen that tbh) would seem that it's a common thought.

I've seen plenty of coin ploughed in (my own included) and it just never seems to wanna play. Tried keying it to get an idea if it's worth playing but doesn't seem to make much difference. The machine just seems to blow hot and cold but mainly cold and the majority of the features appear to be crap, even when red.

Any tips about the best way to play it (if at all) would be appreciated. I tend to avoid the features but are there some hidden delights in there that I haven't sussed?

PS: I have heard that if on your first spin you get Q mark and get survive then it's a silent IM but to be honest I've never hit the question mark on me first spin.

PPS: Sorry for the long winded post :D

Thank god - someone who can spell and use punctuation! 8)

JJs is indeed terrible most of the time. Take it on if you offered 4 strikes if you wish, any earlier and you are asking for a kicking. Eevn from 4 strikes it can still be nasty.

Spinning a 2/11 and hitting survive is indeed silent IM, but dont take the piss on numbers or it can kill you.

i.e Don't go higher or lower on numbers - just keep playing the board it will hit top feature eventually

first spin ? seems to be IM, the only one i know its not too good on is the money magics, other than that it should all be good.

If i was you mate, just don't play them or try and earn a quick few quid and get off it.

Thanks for the advice guys. Shit machine, think it's been fiddled with too but we always think that when it's playing like an arse don't we lol. Never even get the question mark on the first spin. Only problem is that it's in my local and I can't help but have a gamble (think I have a problem!!) Asked that the machine be changed and the landlady said that she'll sort it out.

the IM can kill on the high/lo AND can spin 'game over', so it's not much of an IM rele :) . also if it kills you it doesn't have come back and if it does come back it can come back for a few boards, kill you, the stop going IM boards AND THEN cost loads from there. :x

I spun a 2 first spin on a Gold Rush the other day which gave 'Cashing Out', and £3.

It should be said that actually being thrown a 2 or 11 first spin is pretty damn rare, and having the board lose or not offer the top feature is, on the whole, unusual.

It'll normally land on the bonus square naturally a couple of times so if you need to get the top feature red then simply wait until you're on the bonus with a sensible number. Going higher than a 6 or lower than a 7 is asking for trouble.

Join the club. Nothing you can do. Hi/lo can kill you on 2s and 11s on the ?im, so play the board and although I've never seen GAME OVER (only on 1-2 starts that go to mystery from middle trail - that's NOT im) from GAME OVER or ? squares, cashing out can happen. irritating as that was a £25/£35+ freebie there for the taking and it will not necessarily come back within a profitable time frame.
