Casino crazy- verdicts?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Thu Jun 22, 2006 2:10 am

Firstly, its the older version made by crystal.

I must admit im quite inexperienced with club machines, but this particular one has really been growing on me

.

The method i use is to force the spins out if backing, ive only done it once it it went for £112 for £50 in. However a week ago i walked in to find a nice IOU £146 on screen with 4 super 7's present

(which would have been mine if i was 20 mins earlier! :shock

.

Well thats not too big of a problem i guess, today though i thought id give it a whirl just testing the water.

£20 in and its playing quite lively actually, low exchanges (usually) and occasionally but only occasionally adding 4 to the casino crazy name, frequent £20ish wins offered etc etc.

I then got a board with full bingo and got the top feature which i wasnt going to collect until i got our good old friend boombastic and some oldish bingo addict is yelling behind me "take it sonny, its the jackpot!" Well yeah i took it and got £34 which is seriously poor even by any standards.

What i was wandering was in anyones opinion would if have been worth playing on for the spins?

Also is there any afters to be expected when you force em' out, im quite dubious about playing on in case it sucks the resultant payout back.

I hear £300 went in it a few days ago as well (after i took CC), think il pay a visit soon

Another thing is, what THE MOST its likely to cost for the spins? Wouldnt fancy running out of cash

The features and spins can vary so much on this machine, personally i play for either 30 spins or casino crazy, once i reach them if i have an extra life i carry on if not i just take one or the other as both tend to be similar amounts. I tried to force it once after sticking a tenner in it and it offering me £50 and backing to i thought i was onto a winner and after £400 and turning down about 15 lots of 30 spins i eventually got JP but no afterplay, so i should have just taken the 1st lot of 30!

9/10 times when i've had JP it's been from having 20 spins on or hit the top and also double on the bingo and just out of the blue it's landed on one or the other.

From personal experiences 30 spins can be anything from £60-150 and casino crazy can be anything from £30-150, but that's just me someone else might have had more????

Also if you're not in for too much hit the top could be worth a go, i put £10 in once and took it expecting £10-50 and it went straight to the top!

Anyways there's a good emulator out for this machine which i'm always playing and it's great for working out the gameplay and stuff

Good Luck mate

Oh and one more thing, if you've got it going and rejected some big amounts when you get boombastic (which you will!) just take the lowest possible, usually nudges, this won't affect the gameplay much!

You should never take casino crazy feature!!!! It varies from £30- £60! All you need is to have one feature to boost it up to the £200/£250 cashpot JP. Why don't you just force it for that?

You will find that this m/c will go dead and alive, dead and alive. If it is offering 'casino crazy' or 20 winspins, then it usually will only take around £100 to get the £250 JP. (Unless the percentage payout is fucked!

)

Im sorry but that is NOT true. It will give the 30 spins within £100, yeah probably/ What happens if the casino crazy feature was for afters on a forced jackpot?!!!!!

You are clearly not experienced with the workings of this machine, no offence!. It could cost around £6-700 from there.

I completely agree, if like you say toothless if casino crazy is only worth £30+ why would that make it within £100 of a JP, i used to always try and force this machine and one day i was offered casino from my second quid! I played on and took it for JP £500 later and didn't even get afterplay.

To sum it up if you go and and you aren't in for too much just take top spins or feature and as i said in an earlier post this can be anything upto £150!

I think the casino crazy feature is just a tempter for people to take it and then be completely upset with final product of the feature -£30!

This was just the way i haved played this m/c and have been successful on it.

I played this machine last night for the first time for ages, we put £6 and got up and got double and extra life etc... lost the extra life,had one more press then it bumped us upto casino crazy, my mate behind the bar had disappeared so i just took the chance and collected it, we got an amazing £28.40! We was gutted! But 5 minutes later my mate turned back up and told me it'd just been refilled and it went for JP the night before

ops:

So although we only won £22 it was the best decision we could have made and in my opinion it was just trying to make us think it was ready, when really it was a good £4-500 from JP!

Strange, a very similar thing happened to me yesterday.

Was playing quite well, offered 8 spins and £15 first board so thought id go for it, (it being the spins).

Took £150 for £120 return, i was told after £100 in that it had paid jackpot the night before and also 30 spins shortly after. By this point it was gagging for it so thought i might even be in profit at the end of it.

Wasnt to be, almost every board was offering around 50, 15-20 spins and casino crazy but it kept landing me with boombastic

How long would these roughly take between pots in a well played bingo hall

If you mean between the 20 spins and the 30 spins it isn't normally more than £30/40 but if you mean till JP, as we all know it can be £100's, i'd just take the 20 spins, you'll always get 3/4 big wins in there..

No i mean how much do these usually take between jackpots (not forcing for them just when they come out from the cycle).

Ahh right, The one in my local snooker club normally goes weekly but it has been known to go 4/5 times in a week

I find it a very unpredictable machine, we went on it a few months ago after a game of snooker and me and my mate had a fiver each, we got upto 'fastcash' and was just about to take it after keying it and it being £120 from full

, decided to have 1 more press, hit extra life from mystery, 3 presses later we filled both bingo's up and then landed on +1 feature which trippled for JP then another £55 in afterplay!

In most cases i'd say never play this machine unless it's full but it just goes to show how wrong i was....

Anyways before i get carried away, the answer to your question is normally weekly in a busy-ish snooker club.

on most JPM machines the cycle is around £1300 from jp to jp, so forcing for JP is a bad idea unless you know it has taken huge amounts since the last one...

also if you key JPM's they DONT tell you how far off they are full so how you found out fmw that it was £120 off full is beyond me unless newer versions allow this, all keying does on jpms is do last win/last bank etc.etc.

Casino crazy just play for spins ( if near full ) and hope you get lucky and it gives the pot in the meantime... easy peasy
