Â£70 Jackpot Monopoly Here And Now

Played one of these for the first time today. Full but every board showed dead. Starting 2 features up all the time! I know being a £70er that it can take a fair bit to recover but this is in a location where I would have thought nobody else had been. Plus it wasn't there when I checked 3 days previous. Very strange!

I'm glad at least, I was hooked on machines 10 years ago. Fair enough, my money would AT LEAST get me through the week most weeks if I did lose control occasionally. Lose your discipline nowadays, well, your wages should last no more than an hour! Do the gambling commision still call this industry "Amusement with prizes"?

They always start with 2 features.

Yeah I realised that, just joking!! I actually did think it was stone dead the very first feature I have ever got on a £70 Monopoly (or Cluedo). Until it dropped red cash to £3.

I'm still yet to see a £70 MS+D/Cleudo.

Any value whatsoever now then?

They are still well worth playing. Now that Wild Thing has moved up 2 features (Big Bang on Monopoly) its a lot harder to get from lines. So you're really exclusively playing for the 3 red chests from lines. This removes the skill element from these really, which is a disappointment. Lines can give 3 below Big Bang which is 1 below the new Strand And Deliver. Its possible to get Big Bang if lines offers 3 below with 2 lowers and you're on a 2.

Erm excuse me, if you are soley trying to get that 3 red chests blag, how are they "well worth playing". That setup cashattack on a 2 with 2 lo's FUCK ME THATS RARE, I mean come on!!!

Well worth leaving alone if you ask me.

If you can skill it up with any consistancy that high then ok fair play there's something there for you

Or you can skill it up to Red Cash Attack or whatever its called now. Monops do tend to skip off the skill though. Don't know what its like with the £70 Cluedos.

Now that the jackpot is £70, you have a lot of lines chances before you start putting more than £70 in the machine. Good chance to make a profit on these as long as they aren't obviously dead from he start.

erm yes, but what does it also mean? Since its unlikely you'll get jp on lines, you may have to get it naturally, I found this out to my cost, which was £150 for £70....

If I'm not just being extraordinarily unfortunate, I'd hazard a guess that the chance of getting the chests blag from a single set of lines is maybe 1 in 20 at absolute best. That's with the 11 in the middle giving you both chests to aim at.

The chance of cash attack and 2 lowers on a 2, is perhaps a similar chance, but then you don't get the 11 in the middle for the bottom chest...

So OKAY we're talking 1 in 15 to get it off every set of lines.... Considering lines are not easy to get, maybe once every £15 at best, even with recycling wins say every £10 (and recycling is making the potential loss side much larger too obviously).

So £10-15 for a 1 in 15 at the pot.... don't like these odds....

erm did I not outline it in previous posts kesh? Are you incapable of reading the points, I said if you can skill it up then fair enough, but if you are soley playing for the chests blag they aint worth it.
