Fruit Machine Chat

Have just had a Lucky Strike come into one of my locals, anyway its unchipped for Hot Shot.

I thought after reading all the debate over theese they were emptyable, that is wrong as after I tried it asit was dead it took £35 to get upto the Hot Shot feature.

The machine was more dead that a Bucket Loads after a £75 rip., is there any way to win the gamble upto this or anyway to go around getting this quite quicker or is it simply a one rip machine

They are emptiable
Have emptied a £125 hopper in 45 minutes

And the £250 one takes 2 or 3 hours
Make sure your nearest win is £2.40 or above, and it will gamble up to it
Also try to enter the boad via let em spins

Dont forget that it can gamble down to it as well

U reckon i stay on it till it empties then?

Some people on here will argue that they cannot be emptied

They can, i emptied a good few when this first came out
It can take time but if you play it like i said, they are 'emptiable'

Is it a note changer one?
As these can take a long time but its still achievable :P

sound mate, il give it a go as every time i do 1 all as it will offer is the bonus nudges and nothin else.

No notechanger but it was full after £12 and i took £19.40 cashpot and got next board which was on hot shot took a wild go for a laugh and it displayed collecting.

They are easily emptyable. I have done many and like mrred says it can take a while. Play for let' em spins... crests have to give a board within a 10er so just play for let ems spins and you wil start on a higher feature.

Takes a while but you should be making 10s and 15s every time you get a JP.

Only play for let em spins, especially when it's starting to die, you have to have nearest win grapes or above for it to gamble up - use your nudges and preview button if you don't know your bands, sometimes it works on pears too but rare. Sometimes you have to gamble upto HS even when you're on a mid-number on the ? - it won't always give you a 1 or 12. As someone else said, sometimes you have to gamble down too. It may be worth collecting on the bad boards as it can get moody towards the end. I did a £125 in 30-45mins, literally back to back boards to start with - it obviously hadn't been done before. Saying that though, it also took almost two hours to get the remaining £75 out of a £250 hopper once. I'd also remove the location bit from your profile if you don't want anyone else to get to it Oh, they can flash as well apparently so look out for that... I never saw it mind.

i've made £109 on one in 1hr but i've also been on one for 5 hours and got no-were these can be emptied IMO just hard work sometimes.

I thought at the start they were not emptiable, after 3 months or so of doing it i then realised they were.

Play for let em spins ONLY (when its real dead), unless it offers a quick board. Then you must also collect the 2nd feature for 2 (or possibly 3 perhaps, cant quite remember)) that is of course if you dont have ur setup in place.

It will gamble from the 1st feature to nearest win often well about 50% of the time if its £2.40, though its a lot harder to get if its £3

Cheers lads just took £105 out of one took about 1 hour and it was taking like £30 to get then sometimes the next board in the end it just gave it on 3 consecutive boards.

It was backing and offering good signs so i just left it with £30ish in it as I dont want to be greedy, thanks guys for the £2.40 gamble that did not lose once and that is how I dropped it every time

Can't believe one off these slipped through the net. nice 1. I found a p1 king kebab months after i thought they were all chipped so these things do happen.

I think you've done the right thing leavin a bit in it. so many people would empty it and leave an IOU, it would be nice too know the re-fill day cause you don't wanna leave it nearly empty when they come too re-fill it.

might get a few weeks out of this if you play it right.

Yep you need to know the refill day
Then hit it later that day and leave it with £20-£30 in it

Leave it a week and do the same again on refill day
As long as know one else gets to it, you should make a tidy profit from it

I had one for 2 months with a note changer, that no one else was doing
But someone found it eventually and left it empty and probably iou'd it

Needless to say it was chipped the day after

I'm confused, never heard of an empty for lucky strike, probably because there's never been hardly any around here.

Are you saying that hot shot is a free win or something?

It's not a free win per se.....just a method to get JP off the feature every time its offered (if unchipped). Chipped ones give you game over.

So unchipped - free
chipped - nothing

There are hardly any around though.. Hot shot (5th feature i think).. try and lose the gamble (I.e. reverse gamble) and it brings in JP.

When trying to MT one of these ages ago i managed to get £100 off a few quid, after that it was hard work so i decided to leave it. Another £100 a day later leaving only £3 in it.. this was on a Tuesday when refill day was on Monday. I thought no-one else was going to do this and by the time next refill day came it would have more money put into it by the punters. Came back and it was turned off.. women behind the bar said it I.O.Ud £75, meaning some prick completely destroyed it!

I hate when people do this becasue later on it became chipped, lucky i found some others i could do though.

Anyone else experienced this where they are MTing a m/c and some other player makes it I.O.U... causing it to be chipped? :x
