Just played this (multi-stake) playeed on 30p ago though, anyway it was £14 off with a note changer and first board offered £4+rep on red so I assumed a force was on (new machine in) anyway took £15 then gave skill shot off a bonus and went to £8 (2 off pot) I waited thinking it was going up and then I watched it go back down not to pass £2.

£60 later it offered IM through 6 eggs which I took MS to give a £35 then it went stone cold dead.

Played a Billy the quid what crap machine that really is £10 in £9 out.

£100 up from the last 2 days anyway from £7 started on D&N £10 profit then on the roullette for £40 profit (thank god) and so on.

This machine is garbage and I will not be playing it again, a poor release IMO from Crest

these types of Barcrests (assuming its a ggg type) never ever seem to have any afters at all after any form of JP or Top Streak. Very frustrating.

Reminded me of Top Dog when that was in Stingy mode

GGG I used to do well off, £40 MS then loads of Cash links (super) and £8 wins etc.

Top Dog was a cracking machine easy streak, never more than a £15 loss unless forced from offering £2 lol.

Big Cheese was a the fave though with the Golden hold rips, repeat to £50 then IM or the one time it repeated for £75 then IM for the £100, first Crest I had seen streak for more than £70 now the TAW seem to have no problem making a £125 streak come.

Well once I have had £125 through IMs and SH etc

was never really that profitable but GGG and CBW if they were streaking usually went in the same manner as supercharged and cash attack as in giving IM's (usually hidden) on the fourth feature after the last JP/MS? Costs a lot to find out if its not rolling though!!!

GGG/CBW are great machines. Why people continually slate them i never know.

Had a £120 from a GGG before. They can block MS for a while at times. Just dont push it unless you get to the £5+rpt. £3-£4 boards usually, as you never end up more than £2 odd down just testing the water.

Still got one here which i nick some decent wins from at times. 8)

umm lets see now...

They cost average £40 for mega streak even if full/happy and rarely streak... I think that about covers why people slate them...

honestly mattb you have just been damn lucky if you're well up on them, have played loads over the years, probably down overall, and I only ever bothered with them if they were happy to start - if I see one in a pub, I would DEFINATELY not be going in!

Was testing the waters on this the other night, took a few features, hi-lo cash going for 8, some shitty one went for 2, took a 4 pound repeat, which pseudo repeated twice, which was different for a barcreast. Ended up a few quid up, so can't moan, was weird. Don't think id like to chase it.

I played one today offered £4rpt off first £1
Took it and it repeated
I would not force this either
I have a feeling it will be as bad as Mega Zone
Surely not??

It's not far off, alas I feel it's marginally better.

It doesn't seem to fob you off for quite as long.

Scientific research has shown that jumping-off-bridge incidents rises by an average 847% amongst those who have played MegaZones in the last day. With Cock-A-Doodle-Dough, it's a mere 623%

Hope that clears it up :)

its a shitty maygay clone, they have only used the barcrest banner so barcrest group can show off their new £35jp machine, hardly an original idea

there a few hidden features on this m/c, like the step that lets you select positions, also the barcrest logo flahses at certain times ofering certain things :)

Ive had this m/c streak for me before. It gave to MS one after each other. Its quite steaky, because the Barcrest logo flashes when it offers an invisible step!

If you play for 'no lose' on the bonus, then it will tend to keep giving you these hidden steps. If you have 2 red eggs (1 away from IM) then you can keep going higher and using the no lose' to try and get a 11 for the extra egg.

This is one of the usual ways i find it offers IM.

Lets face it though, its piss poor.

I've seen no end of them cropping up now, and i've had the misfortune of a LAB being replaced by one of these.

Not bloody amused! :x

Played this at the weekend offering numerous boards giving 2 eggs on entry etc. Anyway forced it got IM from stepping for final egg. Took Mega streak for £25 :( . Then dead. If this was a Megazone clone surely it would have followed with another IM?
