annoying little things on a machine......

Fruit wins over big numbers on Reds, i.e gives you the cherrise instead of the 3 or 4 for 12 nudges.

yeah, that is very annoying actually- similar in some ways to the automatic let em spin on OTB.

That happens on Games media stuff too. I've had 1 thats double numbers and the numbers would have put me on £4 or £5 but there was £1 diagonally so it awarded that. :x

and what's TWICE as annoying gambo is when you LOSE than bloody gamble from the £1 as well!

When you have two feature entry symbols on the winline, you hold those reels, and the other reel just spins the same thing in!

Games Media machines rolling in cherry/orange wins three or four times in a row and losing the gamble every time is another hate of mine (Warped loves doing this).

This topic is entertaining, I'll bring it up with a few more instances.

Having an all red board and then having the bonus kick in to BOOST UP
Rating: :x :x :x :x :x (and a bonus

)

Accidentally nudging in mixed bars or GM Fruits on a Red when on Number Runner
Rating :x :x (And a bonus

ops: )

Times when machines seem to punish you for trying to use an ounce of skill, example on Reds, where if the bonus rolls in of its own accord, you have a good chance at a board. But if you hold all the reels when you have a 2, and hold them all, you will get BOOST or ADD AGAIN
Rating: :x :x :x

An older one this, on Jiggin in the Riggin, having nudges to bring the trail up to mazimum(Repeat Advance), but in doing so means getting the final number on the winline creating 3 In A Row. As a result, the trail auto starts at START FEATURE
Rating: :x :x :x :x :x

No-Win Boards. Many a machine are the culprits of this. Cops n Robbers, Cash Bang Wallop among many others. The list just goes on and on.
Rating: :x :x :x (And a bonus :x ) for every £5 you are in past £10

More what manufacturers do, but mixing up Hi Lo buttons, much like on Hall of Fame or All Fired Up
Rating: :x :x (Plus a bonus :x per £5 the next board cost is)

Pathetic streaks on Crazy Fruits and co. when you think you are in with a chance of a sizeable amount of money.
Rating: :x (With a bonus :x :x :x :x if Bells were there in nudges but you autonudged in the keys for less)

Trail Gamble on Power 5. When it rolls in a 4 for the bonus and not the 5, awards Trail Gamble and you lose the first gamble leaving you at 3. Who in the world would want a bonus that makes the trail worse?
Rating: :x :x

Another older gem this, playing an old Barcrest such as Road Hog, you are fairly high on the trail, and the next few moves comprise of POLICE MOVE, POLICE MOVE, POLICE MOVE, YOU'RE NICKED!
Hardly fair!
Rating: :x :x :x :x

Surviving risky gambles on 4s and 5s on a Nudges-Cash game, before finally being staked on an 11 or a 2, because you were trying to win a pound.
Rating: :x :x :x (Plus a bonus :x for every minute wasted on useless gambling/shuffling)

My, my. I do go on quite a bit. Well, I suppose machines do wind us up from time to time.

Happens loads on HLS - had 2 extra lives and 3 STF and it just went on ?2?2?2?2?2? - dead

Oh and having an ARB but gives 'bonus' boost when you get to the exchange, next gamble - dead :x :x :x :x

Putting your hand on the glass to cover the glare when you've opened the DOND feature just to find some ratbag has flobbed on the machine.

I wouldn't have thought that would matter unless Noel was holding the box. Oh wait, apologies, he is on most of the mahines now!

Incredibly long SFX that you can't bypass by pressing start.

Fake caine. "You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off."

Sometimes, the annoyance is ACCIDENTALLY BYPASSING it!

"OH MY GOD! THEY KILLED KENNY! YOU B*******!"
Classic!
