There correct name is 'quiggles'.

If ur still playing them for the quiggle then ur playing them wrong!! Much easier ways to prise them in.

Megas can be phat, but they can also be awful, often 2 hour battles for little profit or a small loss. Of course they can be huge, if u get that lucky touch. Doesn't seem to happen that often anymore tho.

To be fair lee, I'm sure kesh and indeed most people on here know the correct way of taking on a mega.

It's flicky actually

Mega's have been brilliant, granted finding pots high enough have got harder but there's a lot worse out there.

Flicky's slag em off all you like but they get played by punters all day long, you get a flicky £30 in and it don't go comatose like a Alien or CYDI. You go on a flicky just after it's been done and you still only lose a few quid, any other machine and it's a horror story.

You can get badly shafted on a flicker though too, £170 in for £70 is my worst about 6 months back, and why does it like to cost £16 for your first board all the time? I've often wondered, or perhaps its fingerprint scanner seen it was me.

Yeah got to agree abouts mega's now, such effort just to find one ready, i cant be dealing with having to check 10 just to find 1 worth playing and even then there a struggle to get the pots out, unless your the only one playing certain units i just find them pointless now.

All these people saying you can only lose a few quid max on flickers.....err no. Can easily take 100+ for a pot, sometimes ones looking more ready won't go in, others looking like a loss can then surprise you. Only worth if you know floats or it you see someone do their crust through

[quote=""gambogaz1". You go on a flicky just after it's been done and you still only lose a few quid, .[/quote"]

either utter bollocks ,,,,,,,,,,,,, or you consider a 40 quid plus loss as a few quid .

having just been done would cost you at least 110

Not very often you find a cash pot above £35 round here.........

logopolis · Post by **logopolis** » Mon Jun 20, 2011 12:33 am

Mega and a non flicker in same pub. Cashpots 30,27 and can't remember 25p. Played for the cpots, only cost 25 ish for phones. 2nd phones got cashpot in box. Switch to quid stake. Cashpot in box. Back to 50p and 3 out of the next 5 phones cashpot in box. Never seen so many cashpots in the box! Non flicker was 60 in for 95! Highest mega streak I seen on these.

You went for the cashpots when they were on 27 and 30????

streakseims · Post by **streakseims** » Mon Jun 20, 2011 5:15 pm

Why are you all arguing?

Flickers = anyone can play it and in turn they will play other Crests or "Crusts" they may well of saved the Barcrest name.

why is the Cheivley one bad? No offer? or just gives 1p then no phones for £1.5M?

or is it always £1.20 start with no features?

Dont involve me in your argument Im just asking questions to find a solution
