Stroke of luck, found one of these in a nearby drinking-hole!
Played it only on mega spin mode. Got (in total) 5 JP's out of this. Two standard JP's (collected due to being on wholly un-gamble-able numbers! ) and a £75 top.
Luverrly!
Comically (due to the huge bank I had!), To finish off my remaining credits - I repeatedly hit the start button and £5 of credits went through in about 8 seconds!
Does anyone seem to think that the hi/lo gambles are slightly tighter than on other offerings?
Takes a bit of getting used to reworking number runner technique etc due to the 'numbers x4'...

"And do you ever contradict yourself, Minister?" "Well, yes and no..."
They way I do it Matt for number runner is obviously u can't go past 1 single number as even a 1 puts u on the board.
So I nudge down until I can see a blue seven with a number below it. Then nudge the other reels down until i get numbers above the win line and then let them all go at once.
You are normally always guaranteed at least £15.
Still quite hard to explain though.
I've got one to do today in another old mans pub.
It was £19 off yesterday and i took it to £22 off with a quick cheeky £5 on cash falls.
Should be full now hopefully

ive loads of these around me and have been playing them for ages and in no way as profitable as some would have people believe, the top can be flat for £100 plus....... never had more than £85 and probably £60 profit tops, i recon if you can pull £30ish profit out of one of these your doing well...at the end of the day its a red and sucks like its brothers when it wants too....beware
I love it when a plan comes together

I'd agree that these seem a tad tighter than other reds of a similar vein. Lot's more losing on reasonable numbers around the £3-£4 mark.
For number runner - yep, that's the technique I resorted too, surprisingly it almost always does give you the £15 from nudges...

You guys must all be playing reds where they just not being burned alot- I suppose my being in London I should expect as much though,
This machine is dire usually for me, costs £40-60 to red mostly ( full no refill ) - especially if its being played out alot, then often does £25 top, followed after by another £25 top £1-20 later. Other than that, does a £50 top and stops, think I had £75 once and this was after it cost a bomb.
Number runner is not a problem as you can play the normal spins if you want anyhow, no-need to play mega spins.
All red's I might add are exactly the same ( apart from DNA/x-rated/genie+clones ) there is absolutely no difference in gameplay of cobra, giza, jp gems, pay cheque etc.etc., they can all do £25 then £75 on the next top,and they can also do £25 then £20 later another £25... I'll be amazed if none of you lot have had the latter- I must have had it countless times, and it's very peeving ( and yes this is when they are "showing" )
Another gripe I have with reds is that they now often chuck in the numbers 6/7 alot which make getting the top features much harder despite the fact they are showing.
The only poor red's in my opinion are cobra cabana which often costs a load to be streak ready and bling bling, whereby the top is especially hard to get even if the machine is clearly ready.

Ah-ha! Someone else has at last mentioned something that I noticed over the last two-three months. This is what is meant by 'tightening up' of a machine. This never used to happen on any red, then suddenly Top Giza started doing it, and all releases since then do it too...Another gripe I have with reds is that they now often chuck in the numbers 6/7 alot which make getting the top features much harder despite the fact they are showing.
Overall - not that much of an effect, but still tedious nonetheless...

I dont force all the time depends on my mood and money and as you say fader
if you have under 80 pound coins on you your asking for trouble
i will only force if i have had a good day and am well up
profit varies but i still say that taking features and recycling waiting for a number runner or skill shot and then gambling from there is the best way to play mix it up dont just go for the all out force is what i say

I love reds. But yes i usually have around £70 when playing one. And it sometimes involves a trip to the bank.
I would never play one if i didn't have access to more money.
They are definitely profitable and the times u lose are far more outweighed by the big wins if u r playing them when they are ready.
The "one more feature" is bad but i'm getting better. Nowadays if i get a £75 i will literally collect the bank and walk off.
