Anyone ever had this?

Very casual player, dont know any methods or anything whatsoever, literally just a tenner here or there kind of player.

Played a Red in an Aberdeen pub last night waiting for the footy to start. I believe it was called cash or bust - nudges down the right, cash down the left, 3 hi lows and a feature wheel.

Quid in and its dropping down the back, ended up taking a lot of red features and ending up £40 up. Spent £3 for my next board (25p play) got 2 nudges, nudged in a quid. Higher than a 1 - goes to a 6, GAME OVER. Did it on the following board also before I left it alone.

The 1 and the 7 look nothing alike so it wasnt error / stupidity on my part, so was this a glitch and is it a well known one? Even the boy lurking over my shoulder burst out laughing when it happened and since it was only a quid I was inclined to have a laugh also.

Maybe a sticky reel was the cause, i have a pulsation that gives a 12 and you go lower and it loses.

Cash or Bust's specialise in this, well known one in central London which loses even when no lose is lit, number reel is fucked, so I'd say take your profit and be happy :wink:

Once i got involved in a Vortex that decided to start slipping on the number reel. Praying that i'd get the top before the reel 4 alarm went off lol. So ok after losing on ones and twelves started looking at the button lights before gambling. Well button only showed the lo so went lower than (must be a twelve). . . lost eh?? maybe bulb shorted for a second lol. But i'm sure (could be mistaken) that it has happened before. . . usually when about a million involved and showing from the offset :(

had this on a vortex recently. switched to super spins rather than mega which seemed to sort it out. have seen this before on other reds also.

Yeh had this on a coppa load where the number reel was two positions out of place. Just used the number reel guide to help. It was always backing aswell :lol: Which bar was it in so I know to avoid it.
