The Lone Ranger

Post by Master of Games »

Is the general view that this is as worthwhile to play as any other Electrocoin or is it a case of recycle your cash and test your skills? Unless you get an icon board.

Only played one of these once. The general consensus is that they're not as good as the older ones. It's a git that you don't get the chance to exchange 'reel wins' either - makes Super Hold pretty pointless...

Like most on here mate can hit them with eyes closed but a horrible tight machine! Loves hitting £10 first board and taking shedloads! Known people put £200+ for pot! My worst was £130!

they were a classic spoons choice of a few months ago but have rather dissapeared.... they were ok if they weren't being done alot, would give it cheapish...

If they were being done tho, expect a nice meaty £100+ cost off occasion from "there", loved to block it on these, maybe not quite so bad as JPgenie does on the later program tho.

I'D put these on the same level as darts, both not great unless u get a board of the iconic variety.

Found a Lone Ranger the other night. Despite the right signs, it messed around and after £85 eventually gave a Super Skill Stop. Hit this on MS, which got to £70 then carried on for another fiver or so. It dumped the fiver in the bank, but no sign of the first £70 though! I'd heard the Electros can do this off wild thing, but didn't realise they do it on SSS as well?

It obviously didn't register the £70 as it topped out the climb shortly afterwards, but how piss poor is that?! Imagine a normal punter getting a £75 MS then finding just a fiver transferred to the bank!

Surely they haven't been chipped specifically to do this, it must be a mistake? Although irritating, you can see why they make it harder to get what we are looking for, but that is just wrong!

lone ranger isnt even electrocoin is it?

and there was a few chips, some skanked you if you was on 70 but missed the last hit for ms, tey fixed that with the chip that when your on £70 you cant stop the reel and it times out on the line.

crap!

More play ups then Electro's, but essentially the same as the later coins. Likes to cost more than £70 or give minimal profit when seemingly ready, though on the flip side i've also had a few £40+ raises on them. Only expect really decent results with a drop down!

Nobody seems to have considered what constitutes readiness on these games, red numbers certainly doesn't. How many times have people seen them 'red numbering', took them on only to be a jp in before it even shows a £5 board? All red numbers/1's or 12's means is that it isn't stone dead, nothing more. Some of them are practically impossible to stop 'showing' in that respect. The last few i've played i've been happy to get a draw. When that happens its a gamble. They are a waste of time.

They're wonderful games. When they iconify!
