Yes, avoid.

I've only mainly played the Fort Boyard version, which is the same machine I believe. I remember that reel roulette in 'super' (lit up red) is a true skill feature. So if jackpot is in one of the 8 outer reel symbol, then it's yours. Also, some of the odd numbers on the number reel are red. If a red number rolls in while playing the board game, it increments an invincibility stack. The way it displayed invincibility was nice and subtle up until early 2002, then after it was chipped, it was made glaringly obvious.

The Codfather does this too, although it isn't a direct clone of Fort Boyard.

I think this thread is regarding the newer version:

Looks like another Beth to me, although I've heard it 'might not' do it. Not worth bothering with unless you see a load through, I guess...

I think Lotta Luck was the best machine since slice bread.
That is if you are talking about the £25 JP, or Lucky Charms, a clone of Take it or Leave it/Count your cash, it does not flicker on £70 anymore. :P
Play it as there is nothing else to play.

Ahhhhh, thanks Matt. I didn't realise it got re-done, so I was quoting from my early AWP days :-)

Looking at the pic, it reminds me of the Juggling Jackpots / Money Magic-type formula. Red boxes below the board are presumably part of a DOND game.

No worries. :D Yep, the original one was indeed a good machine.
