Hi stakes quizzing

[JG]

Forget your rubbishy rigged roulette games which are NOT quizzes. This is high stakes quizzing and high will be spelled as high, not hi as that tacky bastardisation of the word high will alienate the quiz community.

How about this.

£100 a go.

Yes £100 a go. I will have a word with the suppliers so that the machines actually take the money.

£500 jackpot.

This is probably not legal, but let's carry on.

Each £100 adds to the cashpot. Once it reaches £500 a reserve cashpot builds in the background.


Actually let's not get into the semantics as this is clearly illegal, but that aside



Would any of you quizzers pay £100 stake for a game that you could win £500 on and lasts for approx 5 minutes regardless of skill?

Lol jg the only people that would play it would be quiz pros that were very good! Hence how would it make money

5-1 odds is rather poor. Translating game price/jp ratio upwards, I would have loved to play YHW20 on £100 stake, £4k jp, though I might have needed to hire a minder.

@ob: exactly.

You cannot see the cashpot from attract. Worst case scenario the cashpot is on £100 from your stake, so you play for money back. The profit comes when it maxes as each £100 stake builds the reserve by £50 and is £50 profit for the operator.
Shush about only quiz pros playing it, I know you'd session it OB if it was in your local. I'd get a silly phone call to say oooh two grand down on the quiz. Brains done on the quiz.
Can you imagine the poor casual selecting the game, not reading the price of play, sticking in a quid and then realising he has to put another ninety nine quids in for one go

[JG]

Cp999 the odds are not huge, but the profit potential is huge.

Ok sod it, scrap my cashpot idea.

It's Pub Quiz now. 5 questions each round. Complete round 3 for £200 and round 4 for £500. You get a bonus thingymyjigger after successful completion of round one or two.

Also coming soon. I'm putting this one in a fairly recently opened Spoons in a town that Nil Satis likes to visit not far from the A34.

Casino Pub Quiz.

It's £1000 a go for £4000 jackpot. Three rounds for the jackpot. Bonus after one or two. Same question set as the latest Pub Quiz, no added spoilers.


Who will be brave enough to take it on?

Will Quizmaster turn up on Thursday, order a chicken jalfrezi and drop the 4k?

Will Nil Satis rock up on steak night and order the super steak mixed bloop platter and drop the 4k?

Will Istenem.......wait......oh wait........

I'd play that on £1250 for a clearance even with no award for over 2000

Possibly not on Sceptre terminals though.

oh George, you are a scream. i happily stake a fiver on online SWP (where the rake is 25%) but would baulk at some of the $35 games i've seen which are vulnerable to home-programmer cheating. also remember when Word Up offered £20 for clearing the grid, this was in the days when machines were properly stocked with coin.

but emphatically yes, in a game where i am effectively betting on my own capabilities, i'm arrogant enough to play for big stakes.

[BFK]

As if you'd get a phone call like that from OB George.

Be more like 'Oh yeah I went 2 bag in from stone dead, but it gave GATW for 4 bag and was there for the cashpot after, obviously cracked on and nicked another bag from the penultimate question. Didnt wanna risk carrying on but still a nice raise. I'll go back there in 2 days when it will still be dead, but I'll play it again anyway and no doubt escape with the same miracle again'

If you want to play High Stakes, I've got just the machine for you. What's that? I've deliberately misunderstood for comic effect in order to show the shocking choice (or lack of it) on some cabinets? OK, it's a fair cop.
