I'm a celeb

Post by Tipsey Tyke »

Hiya folks, to my disappointment my local has just got rid of All Fired Up (which i was starting to have a lot of success on) and replaced it with Ant & Dec's I'm a celebrity!!! Does anybody have any useful tips etc as i'm not too keen on it and haven't seen it play much. The first quid i put in i got invincible so i thought i was gonna enjoy playing but since then it hasn't done anything and i've seen people feeding it for hours without much joy. It's not enough that it pisses me off that it spews the money out straight away and wont let you build up a bank but conveniently critical bulbs are out on the cash ladder and board.

Well that's my whinge, if anyone can gimme some advice i'd appreciate it.

Cheers

wel lyou have pretty much summed it up mate, its a shocking machine, so simply dont play it, or if you have to just play for a few quick steals, a force is madness..does do a £75-100 streak once in a while but its very rare.

Agreed, one of a kind this machine , rotten, raping,rodgering b**stard.

Best thing to do is just DONT play it and hopefully the resident addicts will eventually feel the same way and leave it too.

Dont worry, it will be gone in a month or two if its getting poor cashbox results..

Hit em were it hurts.

Cheers lads, will give it a wide berth. Should have guessed really, very fitting to have a dire machine when it's related to those pricks Ant & Dec :wink: :D !!!!!!!

Seriously the best way of winning on this machine is staying off it. Its actually one of the poorest machines around.

Terrible on £25 fully agree. If you must play it just play a quick board and collect on a ? 9/10 you will lose. It can be ok on 10p £5 seen jackpot repeat upto £40. On £25 though I still wouldnt force even if backing and cash going upto £15 with super board regulary offered, could still be about £50 plus off jackpot.

I might be mistaken but i thought that this was one of the bell fruit clone type that you could not collect on a mystery and it was gamble the mystery which equals lose or cash or bust which is majority of the time lose if not maybe something have actually had win series off this on cash or bust.

Pretty sure you could collect on ? on this one. Didnt anyway improve the gameplay though. Did the old bellfruit usual ? on first spin at times and the £2 block.

Yes this machine is a collect on question mark game. Poor on £25 great on £5 in my opinion. Good for a quick steal.

If a machine is shit, and you want to get rid of it! Put mini chedders in the coin slot, about 4-5 should do. That should egt rid of it.

You never heard this from me though!!!! 8) :D

This is dire on £5 JP as well i think... Can take 8 to 9 quid just for a board, and first spin 12, question mark...... and Lose. Very tight programme i find. Only good when it does go for the 25+ JP repeat on the £5. Not that it happens a lot!!

That's some good advice toothless11, sacrificing a few mini chedders is my next move!!

And so I'll provide the hints I promised in General.

* Don't hold ANY symbol over £3 in worth unless it's a star-in-view. And certainly don't hold your bells, as the actress said to the bishop. I've loaded this thing like Paris Hilton after what she'd class as A Good Night and it still won't play ball that way.
* If you get a Mystery and the number is 1, collect. It WILL be lose.
* If you find yourself being eliminated from the Super Feature, only to get back on it on the next spin, do not gamble on hi-los (unless obviously it's on 1 or 12) as it will put you back on the main board once again quite quickly.
* You may find yourself being "bounced" between both boards a lot. In ANY case, if you hit Mystery after a turn on the superboard, collect.
* If you gamble hi-los and have had 3 wins in a row, leave it. If you roll in an 11 on the fourth gamble, it will almost definitely go against you on the next gamble. Move along the board.
* Never gamble a 2 or 11 if the Bush Tucker matrix is nearly full.
* If you gamble the Mystery and get a Hi-Lo To Go, if it's early on in the game, it'll go your way regardless. Even if you gamble low on a 2. If you've had this board a while, it's going to fuck you.
* Don't gamble on the cash ladders or regular features, again unless it's 1 or 12. Only gamble the red features in the super board.
