If a Power 5 offers SKILL TIME, you'd think it'd be ready wouldn't you? Or at least that it was the phones. Got ripped for £15 from a skill time on the first board which moved to GAME OVER shortly after.
Or am I just basing my experience too much on unchipped P5s?
Power 5 skank up
Okey dokey. I don't usually go in for these, but after some fortune on a Panther -Crack the code that was gagging to hurl a Mooga Streak at me, I decided to have a peek. When I landed on skill time I thought I was getting paid. Basically £6+ guaranteed on the cash then. The thing that annoys me most about these, is you put in a quid and get a fruit win. This loses to (7), then you have to pay £12 to get on the board, which is usually £2-£5.

There's quite a handful of high-fat potato-based fried carbohydrate P5s near me.
I still think that out of all of the DONDs, this has the most generous DOND game - well, I've certainly had the most £35/MS combo remaining on this than any other.
But JG, you're right on the money (or not, as you say, when it goes down to that 7!) in that it then takes a good £10+ to get a board that then may well doink you off within a couple of moves.
Does anyone bother TG-ing more than once when they've opened the board? On Dream Factory, it's often worth doing as it turns a lot of things red, builds up quite a few boxes and at that £2.50/£3 mark, usually opens the super board. But, on P5, it doesn't seem to do too much however you gamble.
I had a £10 win off the reels, which I cheekily TG'd to £12 - the board looked the same as if I'd lost the TG to 50p, so I took it and ran.
Never quite sure of the best way to tackle a fixed-up P5. Of course, going for the 5 when safe on the board / phoning is sensible, via trappings, but...
