On a Roll has a problem

In my local bookies we have an On a Roll which is playing very odd indeed. Basically on Mega Spins the machine gives plenty of spins but no numbers (yes i know they all do this but this is different). For example if you put in £20 of credits and start playing them it takes about £8-9 to get some numbers. Bonus NEVER comes in. But if you get on the board ARB1/2 is common. Even stranger on the features it only seems to give you Hi/lo cash, toggle cash, super hold and cash falls. Never gives anything else. But if you take hi/lo cash it gives you over £10 and even gave me £20 the other day (and this is when the feature is green). Also if you get the hiddens it often seems to give on a roll even on mixed and this is slow. Basically the normal punter will think this machine is taking the piss, and it is, so I load it up with £10 of credits otherwise you have yo keep putting the pounds in separetly. Then if I get one board I play for Hi/Lo or it will sometimes allow you to gamble up to the JP. Last week I got £75 folled by £25 then another £75 all within say £20. I left the machine with an IOU of £54. Think the profile is fucked completely but there is money to be had from this machine.

A strange thing happened to me last week on 35 oar ms option,
was testing it for reddiness, so wasn't up for the force, as was
showing agb1, i took 'quids in' (only green)
which is generally good for a fiver+..........
to my amazement virtually every blue segment lit up
awarding me £25, this obviously made me continue to
play it, 3 more boards but agb1 ?
Was this a freak incident or has anyone else had this?

Feature will pay a lot if going, that probably dropped it out of streak.

Same as hot rocks on SMTM, I've had £20+ several times off both blue & Red. Either you got the end of someones streak or it was ready but not showing.
If you only play OAR if it's showing 1st board you must have never forced 1? I can only ever remember finding an OAR red 1st board once. It's generally £20-£40 to see it red, And only quite rare that it takes more than a tenner from red to go(That usually results in a £105 top though)

i am very inexperianced with reds as i dont play them. How does one go about playing a red then? Its showing from the off so you gamble to the top? Just go higher and lower on cash side till you get it or it kills you? It cant be that simple.

Sound like one of the early 50p ungrade programs that could take 300+ for a feature.

They coould also roll for 350+

Your best to stay away from it, they are dodgy as hell.
