Fruit Machine Chat

I was playing my favourite, Suits You Sir, a couple of days back, and it very kindly offered me an IM. Brilliant, I thought - flashing logo and even a nice message at the start of the board, what a lovely machine.

First move, landed on stoppa, and guess which square it put me on? You guessed it, lose...what the feck? Is there any logical explanation for this or was it just a program fault?

Your Favorite??

it is my favourite machine:

a) have had good luck on it every time with good results (got another IM a few boards after this

b) being addressed as "sir" makes me feel important

I rather think the machine was expecting you to hold down the Cancel button, thus making Stoppa into a Skill Stop - maybe it was shocked into offering you a random square which happened to be Game Over.

Exactly what i was goign to say....hold cancel and it moves one square at a time around the board. Just a bad error on you part.

Why the hell is it your favourite?? This is probably one of the worst machines of recent times.

oh right :S but even so an IM is an IM. on past machines if you had a true skill on a ? and u selected lose deliberately, it would actually flash up with a witty comment to the effect "u cant lose". it seems silly to land on the one square which defies the IM.

matt, i know its a clone of many other shite ones, and i have no particular reason for it being one of my favs except that for some reason i seem to have extremely good luck on it! played at least 3 different ones and every time have had a very good session indeed. just found a soft spot for it.

I made £1,000,000 on Jekyll and Hydes Last Year alone!

my arse you did. lol

very nice mr duckworth, very nice. altho actually the last time i played a J&H did manage a £75 top and £15 afters if we're on the subject
