£228 profit on a Let's Play DOND today... flying, had a few quid in the bank already and it gave £140 GATW and then the CoB phone gave £70. Lovely. Pity its so rare... :(

I had an 'orrible moment last night - I admit I blatently sharked some lad who was conkers deep into a Crown Jewels in the Liverpool Street Spoons late in the evening and when he jumped off with no winnings, but Mega top game being offered, I jumped on.

It wanted 35-ish to flash and for some reason I started collecting once the top feature had got to 70. Note payout after the first ten coins, and the f**king thing alarmed. End of top feature then. Staff member nearby switches off and on again and the rest of the 70 pays out. Convinced I'd blown a 140 top I ploughed on ... next board opens Mega again so I take it - no deal all the way for a big-sigh-of-relief top.

Top went for 100 ... so about 38 in for 170 out when I thought I was getting a fairly safe 140. Nice surprise!

What wasn't a nice surprise was finding that that place now has Bank Job and two clones thereof. Is this the way things are going now?

My Bank Job was OK today. Managed to get a 25 off the game and that was enough, but stayed on it for no good reason and almost lost the lot!!! :lol:
Trust me to do that.....

Funnily, the very first time I ever played one I took a £150 loss on one!!! Must've just been £140'd. I only tried another time after seeing it pumped - and my results as previously mentioned stand... ;)
