I was just wondering if anyone had any tips for taking the jackpot from this machine and if there is anyway possible to not lose on the mystery??

Hiya!

Try searching this (Barcrest) forum for loads of advice on this machine. Although unfortunatley, no-one can tell you 'how to get the jackpot' simply. There's many ways that you can sneak a JP on this machine. Try a search and if you can't find anything suitable, re-post here...

Cheers,
Matt...

played this last night for first time
is it true that this mc never really streaks?.
I watched some bird paly it and she had reasonably high cash feat stacks and 19.80 in the cash pot which she took.the mc was backin from the of when I was wachin.she put half back in and left.
so I thought worth a shot.
£25 in and i went for the cash pot to unlock the dm like most bfu clones hopin for a streak, no, jus straight £25 back so I recycled
put back £20 and did finally get the dm, with add again when I had the feature stack quite high and I was on a 12 to go lower to get the dm
which the dm went for £43 but then dead no afters nothin.
still walked out with 15 profit in the end. but just wondered if they changed streak profile so how can u get it now.best way. ps when i did get the dm I didnt go for the dart throws to get the cash pot high I just ignored them, and gained features and still a low cash stack.
and the Im how do you know on this one?. heard there are hidden IMs.

Another thing on these, is that you can always get £2.40 on a board from Pick A Prize. Good for saving if its dead.

Yeah lol just gamble the feature as it will win but if nearest win is £2.40 or over then it wont gamble up unless its buzzed slightly

had my biggest ever top on this last night and including any form of clones dm went for 60 totally shocked me .only once also have i gone over 50.57 on a lucky strike.though im guessing this is pretty uncommon.never bothered to try for another board after.

60 is my best on a phil taylor too, was 47 in at the time so to make 13 was a very welcome surprise :shock:

The dm is the streak pot, some say check the next
board 4 the flash, i personally dont bother, i think
the flash is random and not part of a streak.
The Barcrest Icon gives a quick few flashes
upon board entry 4 an IM board (fairly hidden
if thats what u were asking?)

It IMS if you get a win after and lose, well 80% of the time kind of like knowing if the IJ3 is going to streak activate

My rule of thumb is to check the next board if the top feature on LS/PTPT/YDD/BFY stops at a flat £25.

I've twice had this on LS and the very next credit gives you a bonus, which awards Stoppa, which is trueskill - you enter the feature and it's an obvious flash board. That top feature then rolls quite nicely (taking the streak to approximately £60 - £70 in total from the two tops).

Throw a Wobbler gives the Trueskill Stoppa too, and again this usually leads you into an IM board (or something generous, at least..)

cheers mate i'll have to keep an eye out for them, i take it the cancel lights up on a wobbler to indicate slow? if so can't believe i've never had it. if the cancel does'nt light up on a slow down stoppa i'll have to get in the habit of always holding it down.

What do people rate as a dead board on these before they lose?

For me its +? cash (goes to 1) then straight to + 1 or 2 features then rushes to a mystery.

Often loses here, i will often collect the feature and gamble for pick a prize whether or not trying for a feature after DM'ing it.

That said i have had it not lose from here but actually be a hidden IM not exactly the norm but can happen.

ADESBEE, the hidden IM shows nothing, but you can get away with lower than a 2 etc constantly, the only way to tell is if you EVER win a gamble against the odds like higher than a 7 its guarenteed IM dont go trying it though, this ONLY comes along when flying and youl get DM without any trouble on that board anyway, sometimes the barcrest logo will flicker upon feature entry meaning guarenteed top feature if you play it right. You can still lose on skill continue etc.

Are you the same guy who bothered me about posting in the 'fruit machines in the real world' or whatever section on fruit emu? lol?

TAW indeed does the slow stoppa but its rare
Not had one off the darts
I rarely play them
