Back to the Future

Post by AMK »

Brand new Crest turned up. Got a strange feature on this where it offers you a hidden amount in the box, if your guess is higher than what's in it then you don't win.

Also if you collect say £3 or another win it will randomly give strange amounts like £10???

Forced it twice for money back. Pictures to follow. Rip please (lol wondered why it was off haha)

I played one of these today - and wondered what the hell was going on.

The reel game itself is reminiscent of Double DOND; the lapper and the Cash/Feature shots are very much It's Amazing; the name of the features is very Rob Da Bank; and the strange game on the left side make you think Colour of Money. Something for everyone there, then!

You get an amount in your box - a la DOND - but instead of knocking out values, it starts at the bottom amount and the prize increases as long as you dare keep going, until you pass the amount hidden in your box. In which case you win nothing (if you're on the basic game), or a mystery win (if you've got 4 symbols lit and are on the 'Super' game).

I thought it was boring and laborious, personally and from offering a £20 cash shot on my 2nd board, it took another £55 to finally go IM for a flat 70 from MS.

Why the hell can't anybody think of a new concept? Give us a fruit stepper, FFS!

Is this game called back to the feature? Sounds like there may be a new method to beat this machine,
I would be very greatful if somebody can post an IM on this, I need a trick badly as my float is getting smaller. :(

Watch out for red nudges. Can nudge up to get the 3 clocks in view. And take shots for feature and collect on mystery!
There's some tips for back to the Features! :-)

I know the Vivid machine, not the new Barcrest though, so I looked it up on their site. It's nice to finally see a machine that isn't DONDesque or one that has Tae Kwon Dough-type mazes on it! :P

Is it just me that thinks that machine looks crap? lol

Never seen one in the flesh, so to speak, but what's with the strange stack amounts?

It looks crap, and it is crap.

Overall official Fruitchat rating: Crap.

I refer the Right Honourable Gentleman to the description of the 'strange stack amounts' I gave a few moments ago ...
