I thought this failed test? Was this on full release or not?

It really is terrible.. the only thing I used to do was put two quid in or so and take cash climb... on a good day it would give £5 or £10 at a real push.

Strangest thing though, once did this and on the high / low gamble just kept getting the super board symbols until it went IM. Literally each high / low blast hit a symbol and I got 6 in a row for the IM. Weird huh?

Lucky you! Even when backing, this awful machine seems to eat money and never give a decent streak. So once you're down money, you never seem to recoup it. And the gameplay is dull as dishwater, too.

Not many machines I purposely avoid, but this is one of them!

There's tons of these near me at the moment. Really tight so I don't often stick more than a couple of quid in. Got an IM once took a largish streak then the next board was off its face too.

the way you got your IM ( 6 sysbomls in the first 6 hi-lo's) is the most common way this will give mega streak. almost everytime i forced this i got Im the way you did. it is worth playing the afterplay though in my opinion.

Played this today strange though. On any fruit win went straight to feature board didn't have to gamble. Also when I landed on icons it gave more than one sometimes three or four. Def not IM must be a software revision any thoughts? Still a crap machine though.

I broke my self-imposed Mega Zone ban today after watching a guy chuck a tenner in (backing from the off). It looked promising as tenners were being offered very quickly and the superboard opened frequently. Must be MS time soon, said I ...

£55 later, it finally caved in and gave MS for a flat £25. Hmph. Afterplay? For the next half hour it continually offered this that and the other, every blimin' feature (except MS) and every cash amount (except JP) and it wasn't until I'd ploughed £108 down the back that it finally went IM. For the first time, at least putting to bed my opinion that this m/c NEVER pays to its percentage, the MS went for £72, making a £97 bank and a big sigh of relief from moi.

Did have me worried though - when the bank got to £75, the MS kept spinning in wins but the bank froze on £75, making me think it wasn't gonna give me these wins. But thankfully it totted it all up at the end and paid out.

Bastard machine!
