Lucky Strike - Trueskill Mystery?

Watching a mate of mine playing a 25p £5 Lucky Strike earlier today, he landed on a ? on the board and it was a true skill! I have never ever seen a mystery do that before on any machine! Also I noticed it was doing slow bonuses every bonus, but the collect button was not lit (it was working on the board though).

Yeah all of these LS/Darts/Wobblers do it. Just means they're ready to go!

How on earth can you NOT have seen this before?! i think nearly EVERY machine has it, barcrest or otherwise!

i thought that, but thought neh he can't mean that... i've not read it right. played a phil taylor and 2 yabbas last night and had slow down on a ? twice, likes giving the extra life a lot this one [of multi add]

he can't play these very often or is VERY unlucky not too have had a slow down ?.

I don't play Cresters that often, not a lot of them near me, mainly Reds and Bellfruits. I've had slow bonuses (on trail during reel play and on board) loads of times, but I have honestly only ever seen a Trueskill Mystery once.

You being serious??

All m/cs do skill bonus's all the time. Especially crests. Crests make it quite obvious its a skill bonus where BFGs are a bit more hidden and you have to hold the cancel button.

Ok bellcrest

The mystery going true skill, is common among the Darts and Lucky Strike series
The reason its just slow, without pressing cancel, is that the same button is used for collecting the cashpot
I am sure when they were first out, many collected a cashpot when they thought it was gonna slow something down :P

I too am suprised you have not seen it before though

I've only played LS a couple of times (literally only three or four times) so haven't noticed really, and tried a quid in YDD once but no board. Haven't tried the other darts m/c's yet.

dont make the mistake of thinking that the mystery has slowed down because the collect button is lit up and accidently collet ur cashpot.

Seen many a mug punter lose his £5 board for that 1 throw he bothered to take on single. Youch.
