I was taken by suprise by this last night..

First board (off £3) offered £4 +repeat chance.. ok then..
It repeated 3 times to £16.. Played on for another board, and Strawberrys rolled in (about £6 later after the repeats) the logo started flashing and that was that..
£49 banked from about 8/9 quid in..

that was of course when I was doing good, then proceeded to be an idiot after that...

I haven't actually lost on this machine yet (always JPed it just about without having to put any more than the score in..)

I just wish Id stop playing Bellfruits, and Golden dragon, and crappy globals when im 'BORED'

once ive cut that out of my game I think ive cracked it!

New machine in another local - space raiders! woohoo.. the last machine I raided before plumeting downwards..

Tell me about it!!! LOL

Like at my local Bowl, there's:

DNA
Top Giza
Hidden Treasures
Snail Blazer

&

Monopoly
Some Vivid cack where you light up numbers around the edge of a board , based on your hi/lo outcomes, and if you get 'spins' they award the amounts adjacent to the active numbers.

Shortly after usually wiping out all the top four, I find my eyes wandering to these two... Only play for pocket money of course, but you can still find yourself about a tenner down for no reason at all...

:)

Back on topic:

Er, never seen one yet... :(

I've played that vivid thing Matt. A bit shitty real. Lol. Very odd how the features work out. Very rarely get offered them. A mix of a Mazooma "Spin When your winning" and your basic Red!

Whereabouts you based? Down south 'Crests really are a dying breed!

:shock: :?

I am down south mate - there's one AFU near me, which I never bother with as it gets everyman and his dog / missus playing 'em.

One YDD too, but that's usually hammered too, so leave well alone.. :(

every time i have been near this its always dead
that was until yesterday when i got 3 yes 3 red series one after the other and none of them was im
first went for £32 second went for £37 and third for £35
i had put £40 in before being offered the first
the next board let me get to the red section very quick nudges galore and i landed on jp tempted to take it was on an 11 gambled and it gave the red series i had knocked everything else out
next board very similar
the funny thing was i was not expecting another so when i got 2 extra life symbols i was on a 6 i went higher it let me win the gamble
and never took the extra life off me
about £45 in for £104 out anyone else had a streak like this

nope, I can see why its dead a lot then!

Incidentally I didn't try another board after the £49 had been banked..
dunno if that was the right thing. I sometimes dunno why I bother with afterboards. Dont think ive had a VIU go again for ages.. usually £5/£6 board and lose 2nd go.. Then you feel a bit annoyed..

Big Win

Think thing with all of this is all about maximising the long run profit. After two boards going for red series would be cynical trying for third if had put in a tenner and was £55 up. Still learning this one but will never forget had a holiday abroad in a 5 star for a week with £700 spending money out one SRM that stayed in one pub for 10 months. When bored helps to remember got a goal at the end of it.

Thats what I' doing now, keeping a float of exactly the same. If i come back with more, I put that away. If i come back with less I know i have to play tighter or stop playing for a while.

Ive tried something twice now, and its worked both times...

couldn't really go back in today though, £60 requires more than a saturday night
