If offering 8quid on shots it can be worth the push otherwise just take as much as you can ....bad machine!

As I posted a little while back, got £75 off of the £25 repeater on one of these. I will admit I wouldn't believe it if someone else had told me, but it did happen. Got the £25 off the shots and collected as I was getting low on 'cash-on-the-hip' and it gave me true-skill repeat, hit that, and then it pseudo repeated.
Don't bank on this happening often though! I have played them A LOT and that is the only time I've had that sort of money out of one...
The following features are the best ones if you're after a quick steal, although if it is offering them, it may well be worth the push...

Highs 'n' Lows
Button Basher
Good Times
Cash Grabber
Crazy Reels (obv!)

Let us know how you get on! ;)

No, HOP has a repuatation for offering high wins off the first board! i got offered a jackpot on first couple of quid which i wish id taken, but no wanted mega streak - hoping it would come early - did it? like fk it did, cost me about 50-60 for 30 mega streak!!

another time offered me a tenna after first board, then died!

be careful with this machine, very harsh - best way to play is to take the good features, i.e, hi-low feature or nick a couple of top features on the main square board like 3 -5 superstrikes
Chance favours the prepared mind!

forced this for the first time today out of bordum-£40in £80 out, crazy reels gave me £55 quid and then i accumalated £10 on the shots, highs n lows, £3 repeater which repeated £6 on the shots, not bad for the first attempt but have heard some nasty rumours......

Usually after crazy reels the afters are very god. take any half decent feature/cash win and it lets u accumilate a nice sum most of the time

yeah, pain in the arse innit..
I beleive that you need at least £50 to force this out from backing 'with confidence'

Sometimes might be worth taking a good sized win if you put little in.. Although hot stuff tonight We had super streak 1st quid! £20 later we got Hot stuff, which gave £42... worth it ? yep, but no.. doesn't always give £42!

If you are playing this out for ms it can take ages. Seriously.

Yeah button basher / good times / knockoutskill / cash grabber are all really good signs but it can honestly take ages to push it. It can take u really far and kill u over and over.

It's like getting upto bulls hit on darts like for or 5 times and dying every time before it gives u darts marathon.

Not a machine i force anymore really. And if you are going to force it I'd take double add off skill bonus even on a bad number. It speeds things up a bit. Extra life never seems to last more than 2 gambles.
