Hopefully you'll be able to get the £70 somehow. Wonder if it still does an IM. They were rare as on the original anyway. Besides which, they surely wouldn't have gone to the trouble of putting all £70 worth of fiver icons for stuff like that notation feature where you hi/lo for the next note if you couldn't get it?? Or maybe it's a graphic bank like some old machines used to do.
I'm sure there is a psychological edge to graphic banks - the die hards will just want to max it out to be able to wave an e-penis around. I know I did when I was younger. There was a poker game that had all notes for the bank on the top glass - great fun hitting that and maxing it out for £50 or whatever it was.
Whatever happened to that machine where it paid you coins - real coins into a kind of slot on the top glass like a road that wound around the glass. Shit machine but novelty value idea.
There are so many ways you could entice a player these days with bells and whistles - just an apathetic industry that only supplies the the bare bones with no imagination.
I feel multiplayers really fail in this area - the initial buzz of games linked to 1 top screen did a lot for revenue - still does - not sure the community type bonus was the next best enhancement - it just takes a little more imagination. Stuff like agreeing to split/share or compete for pots with other players - bonus awards for say hitting 5 sets of bars in a row - I know I've had side bets with other players on boring machines just to make things interesting. Going to Vegas in a couple of weeks - hoping to see some nice advances in the big multiplayers - but I bet it will still be bloody Wheel of Fortunes galore and 'Ebay - the machine' (lol) still being the freshest release.

The top feature I think would work like Firecracker used to.

I thought that, but no combination would make exactly £70 - unless I'm looking at the wrong bit of the machine. lol

lol, it gives a dapple on one of the 2 stacks on position 1, then one of the 2 on position 2 and so on. does it still not make 70 that way?

Ebay had disappeared from almost everywhere last november.

Bonus awards that link across games are not permitted, at present, in the UK. Neither is splitting or sharing wins.... Some good ideas though :)
