What an absolute unpredictable evil machine that can not board for £20 reguarly even if near full!!

Anyone agree.

This is one of the worst of the current reds I have seen.

What do you find are the worst reds and why?

Discuss!

All the Reds can cost a stack 4 a board,
my personal worst is 18!
Wot i do now 2 test em, is put £5 in straight away,
keep finger on start, and if the reels are burning
and no bonuses offered, is 2 run a mile!!!
DONT COMMIT YOURSELF 2 GETTING A BOARD!

Jeffknickers you are just playing reds at the wrong time.

if its costs you £10+ without a board it has been done and any machine in that state will be "the worst you have ever seen". Yet, ARB1 first board it would be your best m.c ever. My "alarm" starts going off at around £8 for a board.

I played barcrests new fat cat and it cost me 70 for ms flat 25. I dare say its the worst mc I ever played but the other way around I would have thoguht it was the best and chased it any time in the future.

Sort it out.

They can run for £60
Although they can take the piss for a board
Never play them really

Also why are we suddenly moaning about board costs??
Its nothing new
Reds have been doing this forever
I think my worst ever was a staggering £33
This was funnily enough on this m/c

Also just because its full does not mean that you will win or it wont cost for a board
REFILL

Jeez, be very careful of £5 reds, on any stake. Seen some horror stories unfold down the local bowling alley! Taking £10 - £20 for a board a 'la £25 jp machines! :shock: I steer well clear of 'em. But have seen a buddy playing a Sub Zero on 10p/£5 and it took £20 from him without a sniff of a board. That told me all I needed to know! He did make a portion of it back from a Top Giza on the same stake, as every board opened safe cash and it's loaded with fivers...

Oh lol theres too many times off £30 in a red gaming little kiddys like hustle you inside bowling alleys and stuff. And the machine will still be dead. I dont understand how you can reallly set off the streak. Maybe after random people rinsing about £300 through it will you might be lucky to catch a £25 streak? Whats the point. Steer clear from them! The only £5 machines ever worth touching are wildfire, dambuster, italian job 3. Easy profit and if not it will be something at the worst like £3 in £2 out. If not could be a nice £50 up. Ive caught the streak so many times in my local bowling alley.

Yeah I've found £5 reds can be a ballache - they seem to play with exactly the same profile as their bigger brothers! :? i.e. fooking ages for a board and killing you on fuck all.

At least with other machines the profile seems to change and play differently according to the jackpot size - Reds just seem to be identical!

£5 reds are huge! the 10p opnes can take some time tho. if they are showing they are normally ther for 30-50, I like to play for top streak!

win series/top feature green noramlly go for above 5, ive heard of Rocket money green going for 30 ! Nice.

Though i stress, only if its showing!

How can you even bother to try and see if ones ready. Surely you have better methods of making profit than getting involved with a £5 JP red?!?
