Jackpot Gems

the problem is, the machine may be full, and offering okish red features/ £10/15 wins on the cash trail, yet be £50+ off streak ready... this is when you get burned, and there's nothing you can do about it!

thats the thing, there so unpredictable, last night i had this gems offer skillstop from nowhere - i thought it was dying lol, so i hit 12 nudges for £15 - number come a 9 - all but 2 red... i collcted about 15 up on that M/C

should i be pushing it at that stage? i feel so under-qualified when it comes to reds lol, i always just work up the pot with features, maybe i shud try the push tonight cause i have 60 in coins tonight - views? things to look for? ive noticed the old 10 and 3 good signs but anything else?

they have blocks at £5 and £10
if its letting you gamble past these its a good sign although its not a definate
you really need the board to be red when there are no big wins there
e.g if its mostly red and your nudge win is £1.60 its a good sign
as long as the boxes are not available as the board tends to be red when they other signs are getting numbers in view when you have say a 4 a 3 and a 1 and of course number runner
i personally play reds 2 ways sometimes i force sometimes i take features and build the bank
if you want to start forcing reds be prepared for a caning from time to time but also you can win big

whats with the deception though, i had all red but one - then next 5-10 boards were all green but one...

went through 60 coins in about 10 minutes

it can throw the odd red board in you need at least three or so for it to be ready and as you say you got £15 all the features would be red
nobody can explain it all fully the best way is to play them more often and get use to them they take a lot of learning though and can be random at times i have paid £15 to get a board dead first gamble then a fiver for another board and all features were red it lets me gamble all the way to top goes for £50

Going red from a skillstop does not mean it is ready.

the skillstop wasnt when it was red, that was a different circumstance when i collected 15.. them going all red was another day in which they were all red but one about 3-5 times in a row... grr disgusting

Gave this a whirl again tonight, was playing ok and eventually offered jolly gems in red. A mate of mine convinced me into taking it, but it didn't give me the chance of hitting the crown and it stopped on 25 quid in red. Gave me 29 quid in total, which i collected and walked away.

took big money for 25, then offered hot rocks green next board, was on a 6 so took it, ALL bar 2 lights lit up and it went for £23 ! thought this was amazing for a green feature !

The best way I can describe how to tell if a Red is paying (where there are the usual set of red/green features is:

1. If you get on the board and all but 1 or 2 are red, and you are only on a low win, or nudges are only offering you a low win, this can mean either:

A) You are on to the streak - if it lets you make successful gambles to feature exchange points / higher wins etc.

B) You are on a duff 'random red' board - if you peg out on your first / early gamble.

C) Unmixed (skill) hidden features are very near / on offer.

2. If you get on the board and all but 1 or 2 are red, and you are on a £10+ win, or nudges will offer you a £10+ win, this can mean either:

A) You've skill stopped up to twelve nudges and the machine has started buzzing. (I've had 12 nudges for £3 before - only two features were red!)

B) You're again, on for the streak if you don't get 'Open Board'...

Hope this makes a bit of sense, it's just the 'feel' I get from endlessly pugging away at TGs', RMs' etc...

how much does the open board fuck you up?

Matt Vinyl · Post by **Matt Vinyl** » Wed Apr 05, 2006 2:26 pm

I'd say that losing to safe cash on TG / RM doesn't bugger up the force as much as it does on other reds such as JG etc.

If you lose to £25 on safe cash, this can also trigger a streak, where the next board will give you a £50 top.

safe cash on sub zero DEFINETLY doesnt fuck it up, had 31 in safe wins from £20, then proceed to get big money and some red features for a total of 87

your spot on there matt
a lot of people think there in for something big when they get mostly red features but a lot of the time like you say the hiddens will be available
if i get random stop for my first board i always go for 1 nudge (unless i know there is a big win on) as if the board is mostly red now there is a good chance its streaking

Got my first £75 of this last night.
Had loads of £25/£50's but never the £75.
Cost me £60 to get though
