Poker Face

Post by kidgloves »

Standard fare Gold Rush clone, but newly sited so thought I'd give it a go from 7 winspins first board. Red Mega streak about £15 later, still cost £90 to go in for flat £35 off red poker face.
Before that happened, I got the all too elusive SuperSkillStop and hit £35 which I collected - this is free right ?? Would the board have offered the same value had I lost the gamble to £10 and gone in ?
Next £25 was stone after that so I really thought the SSS wasn't free, someone clarify this ??
I then got what I thought was an IM after 1st move went to ? and I survived, then the next move went straight to the next ? and offered cashing out :? Wasn't impressed with that.
Got another red poker face later which was flat again. Bored at this point so milked it down to £2/£3 boards and went back today and prised in the 5 icons which gave £65.
There's still an overdue £105 in there somewhere.

SSS is free on these, exchanges in don't always go in either, so be quick. I think the fact that it doesn't come back if you don't take it shows it's from another pot somewhere. If it took that much to go in i would have persevered until it rolled for something meaningful. Each to their own though, only ever played one up in york, not seen one since.

Yeah, wasn't in the mood for one of those long winded chases, more worrying was the seemingly IM board - I don't seem to have much luck in these types of scenarios...obviously I don't hi/lo during the board because that is asking for trouble, but on similar machines it's a case of tootle around for a while until it either gives you your top, or it runs out of options whilst trying to get red top feature then just throws in a 'stop on even to continue' and bumps you from there. Never had one just move from one extreme to the other, offering the indication it's an IM off the first move then straight away bump you off, I hadn't had a chance to finish cheering to the missus before it right royally sacked me off.

Monster Cash I think was the 1st GM to get rid of the IM board. I was in thwe same boar as you, ? 1st move I thinking get in!! but nope sacked off after a few moves. 4 out of 6 boards gave me ? 1st move but not 1 Pot.

No, they can all do this! Had a JJs gold spin me an 11....cashing out a couple of times. I find another thing with these is if it offers you tops white before you an get it red, and you keep going into the centre pot and it adds a few quid before booting you out it's almost guaranteed flat. If it does the lot it'll much more likely repeat. You can coax £35 pots out of these boards, but play it natural and it nearly always dies. In fact i'd probably say you are better off letting it die and gonig in naturally red.

yeh the ? first move boards can kill you after any number of moves, it's rare though, sick when it happens, and as matt says they all do it.

Whether the top goes for more than £35, depends on when it's last done the £70/105, if it hasnt for a while then it should do it, if it has, will be flat £35, thankfully the streak cycle is quite low on these, maybe £300ish, so they don't take all that long to be ready again.

That ain't true mate, don't know how they work the cycles out, be we had a GR do £105 off about £120 (ready all the while). 4 red strikes after, we rechased it again and it did £105 again off about £85. Weird eh. No, i'm not making this up either (croz my witness where are youuuu) :wink:

I would agree generally though that if it has gone big you are likely to not get a biggie for a while after. Not always the case, but sometimes.

ok fair enough, it is usually the case though however, this was probably just an exception beacuse it over cost, and the extra money you put in went into the next streak pot.

The one I have locally (JJG), does £105 every other week or so, and if I've ever forced it in the middle (as its flying), it has always been £35, and I mean this is like 50+ times!

Im not convinced, ive took it 3 times and 3 times its died after.

On a MM chase i got an SSS, took it flat (quite a bit in), forced it out again but went flat on the red top, forced it again and when it was just about to go it SSS'd again. If it was different pot it wouldn't give 2 so close together would it?

the problem is because the game play is rather random, its difficult to tell whether a win was free or not, I personally have had SSS so rarely I can't tell, and tbh I've always had it when £10 or less in, so have got off the machine in any case usually.

I can't really see how any of us can say with certainty that it's a freebie off SSS. The only way you'd know for sure that it's free is when you get one of those ultra-rare £35/£35/£105 sequences in consecutive boards (had this on MM and JJG), and then the SSS drops in very randomly shortly after, where it clearly isn't part of the streak.

It's so rare that it's conceivable that it's part of a separate pot.
This machine may at times offer a choice where the player has every chance of bankruptcy

on the topic of these had a completely nasty result on the JJG in town today, £12 light, did the 105 about 2 weeks ago, so somewhat due. Anyhow plays as always for global pretty randomly, but and absolutely terrible £230 for the red GS (having offered white GS for £80 in naturally - yes I know bonus stack on = red), £105 of course, but I'm thinking ok surely gotta play on for another red top, £60 for another, goes £70, not really what I'm after tbh, again after that stone, and £40 for another that is blagged (skillshot on 12) went for £35...

can be really nasty at times these globals has to be said...

yes I know bonus stack on = red
Do you mean that taking the top feature from the bonus stack gives the 'red' version of it? Only taken it from here once ages ago and it went flat.
