I'd rather it didn't say to be honest, it's pretty obvious after just a small investment whats good and what isn't, especially for us lot as this is the 3rd clone of a machine.

True - but I must admit that I'd never taken any of the other features apart from WT / Top on these or clones (maybe the odd one, but I don't remember) so, if I'm not playing 'serious', a 10+ feature would probably be worth taking... ;)

I took the most I've ever taken from one yesterday.

Was going for "setup" when it gave me Star Wars but I was £55 in. Decided to go for it again as it did Star Wars a few days ago which was flat £35 as well.

Anyway took quite a bit back and gave the IM board. Another £35. Worked out I was about £8 down.

One more board which offered big blaster. OK I'm definitely going for another one as it still must have loads of life and still no set up.

Then not through set-up but just practically threw me 3 red helmets due to a cash strike.

Which went for £55.

Must have taken about £110 out. Feel sorry for the next person trying to get a board :o

3 red helmets
Might want to go to the doctor with that... ;)

Good result though! I'm warming to these machines a bit now - when they were first out, they were stone most of the time. Now we've learnt a few of the shortcuts / features / signs - they are slightly more worthwhile. I wouldn't go out of my way for one, but the classic 'try for a board' mentality kicks in if there's one in the current locale...

lol.

Well be careful as there are a lot of ways to get on the board on tons of machines that these just don't like.

i.e. holding cherries for it to maybe spin in another - doesn't like that. Stoppa putting u on the board - it's not a fan of that either. You have a 2 and a 1 on the middle line and hold the 1 and the blank - - u guessed it - another number.

It actually pretty annoying. It's actually easier to simply get a board on some DOND's.

Also if some1 has just taken say a £5+ win on either stake you may quite easily pay £10+ for a board no problem. And it also isn't a fan of doin back to back boards even if u r £15 or so into it.

All that said u get one with half a bit of life in it and like u said - u can manipulate through steps, spinning etc. And red no lose is a nice touch. You can even sometimes get it on super bonus.

Also death star likes to repeat relatively often and can repeat loads of times.

And remember number runner is so much better on 50p than 30p. Unless less like i said - ur setting it up "pre-board" :wink:

Stopper is particuarly shit on these, Don't think I've ever got a board from it, might have had 1 or 2 on RR but none on SW.
Biggest sign I've found on these is frequent boards. you start getting boards like hold win/SH having lines on/bonus putting you on withni just a credit or 2 of each other and your looking good.
As for the rip, no thanks. Straight force on 50p for me.
