Seen a couple of these IOU recently.
Probably just random a coincedence as I doubt any player would leave one IOU £2.
But still...

I've played a handful of these out now.

Forcing is pointless. On a reasonable % from full you're usually looking at £60ish for the jackpot/red mega streak. From my experience there's usually a jackpot afterwards from one of the next three boards.
The trouble is you're paying £55-£85 for £70 back and it all feels rather pointless.
Red cash climber is jackpot, it's a skill stop. White cash climber is a skill stop which usually slips after hitting £7.

The maze game seems to be linked to the board value. So don't expect Mega Streak from purple start, when it's only just offerring £10 on the board. Mega Hint; Wooooo! The maze value is more than £5.00 => the maze value is £6 or £8, not jackpot! (in my experience)

I don't know if this is all about saving hard for a stray flat jackpot every £150ish. Just take wins on a reasonable % and you'll soon feel that you're paying for something extra. £60 for £35 says it all. No bells and whistles it'll just go BLOOP! jackpot on your shot.

One machine that I've written off as completely pointless and I do go in for some shite machines at times.

Only way you'll win is to get a quick board and snaffle the value, otherwise it's uphill all the way. You wouldn't mind if there was a dirty streak in there, but there doesn't appear to be. It's all about a reluctant £70 (2*£35) that usually costs about that to get. MS is always flat imo.

Hi/Lo is pretty harsh as well.

Fully agree with OB on this one, only played one twice, very dull, very limited gameplay.
And JG has explained the machine to perfection.

Do you think the way the machine flashes up from bottom to top on feature entry was to trick people into thinking you've got an IM??

Found one of these yesterday in my local, didnt go for it - just 20 in to see how it plays - got offered the maze - (deal or no deal )- box had 2 quid so left it, very colourful for the punters mind - load of flashing features, will be good for casual punters

Yeah I saw one in the redittch yesteday, Had little punt on it,lost £10er no borad fuck all, but next to it was a new bfu clone oche something this old boy totlally sueded out on it , loads features red from the off and £200 later still no jp, but the dozy tool after puttin in his first £120 ish in stared losing his bollocks and collecting silly cashpot wins of £6 quid which was then puttin the whole thing back £10 to £15 quid for another board, I had to go in the end but at some stages I thought he was gonna smash the fucking thing up, he was punching it, the bar staff told him twice and if he did it again he be barred..
to me it seemed pretty random one minute it would boost way up the cash stack then , next £2 quid dead for two or three boards then £5 maybe just seemed to lack good profile very flat.

forced a £70 one for a laugh ... bored me to tears... board after board after board every pound when £20 ready... took me 3 hours and cost a £50 loss... after the jp which was £70 dead ( mega streak ) it cost £12 for a board and was offering £2 ... tried a few more exactly the same thing... simply fucking amazing.
