Finally played BFM's Deal Or No Deal last night in a pub where I was working.
I got onto the feature and was whizzing around like you do. It gave me skillstop, which I landed on a red heart. A few spins later I get a '?', which lands on 'heart to heart' - two more hearts to give me the extra life. Great stuff!
Anyway, I keep spinning and eventually land on a '?' and lose the extra life. I played on and landed on another '?'. At this point I had three things built up:
£5
£4 Super Cash
'Cash Climber'
Now I didn't have the balls to play on without the extra life - I only had a tenner in my pocket to last me all night until I got paid and I didn't really fancy pumping it into a bellfruit to try and get back on the board.
SO, I took the £4 supercash. Which, unsurprisingly, didn't repeat! But what would you have done? In hindsight, I wish I'd taken cash climber. Or would you have played on further? At this point I didn't have any boxes lit to get into the super feature so it wasn't like I could have been one spin away from the super feature.
Aah yeah, didn't want to press that either! I've only ever pressed it on Dough Ho Ho, and out of three or four times (before I stopped bothering!) it just killed me off. Although I think someone on here said that they had had jackpot from it.
With the sink or swim button, do you have to press the start button to stop it on the prize you want? Or just wait and the machine will award you what it wants? Each time i press this a few things flash and then it kills me!
