Anyone seen this new one by red??
Possibly on test

It is in a new cabinet
It has the 3 hi lo reels of invincible and the cash stack to £10
Then SS and MS
The nudges go to 12
It has the feature wheel in the middle
Also has 50p which double numbers and mega spins so again you get 1,9 or 12 nudges with a number
It was £40 off, no notechanger so did not play it

Looks good, features are named different
I saw one called Hail Storm i think
And Storm Force
Hiddens are there named different
Saw tornado maybe SnS??

Gonna have another look late tomorrow see if its recovered enough
Try and find out what its like

Yeah it seems so mate

I have 2 CCP and 4 LD's now

Finally got the chance to play this today and made £60 on it
Got a £75 top and a few features after
Playing on 50p i was always going in on £7+

A good thing on this is, when you get to say 12 nudges for a tenner
If you are on a bad number the other side when you auto nudge the tenner in, it changes number which is a good addition

This is whats annoying about the SA/Invincible/Pulsation m/c's
But this changes to a good number

It looks a nice m/c too
A good offering again from Red

I woudl rather the number didnt change. Before real amatuers would not look to the left hand number before auto-nudging, now they don't have to!

Having played this for the first time the other day I can say that it is a welcome addition changing the number. The amount of times you go in on 12 nudges when playing on mega spin it would be very annoying if it didn't change. Had a good experiance on it to start with, £27 in for a £50 followed by another £25 about £5 later.

Played this again today
Cost £50 for a £25 top
Then £10 for a £50 top
I do like this
Something i noticed today though, is that it does not always change number when you nudge to a win
Happened a couple of times
Both times let me go though, on a 5 and a 6 but blocked at SS

Expect lots of lost gambles to top as well
Mostly going in on £8/£10 it kills a fair few times from SS to MS
Although Stacks and Invincibles do this
On this it will probably be more lost gambles, with the 50p Mega Spins on there

I found a 50p/£35 Vortex this evening, and personally I found it horrible to play. It was £17 off when I arrived, with a notey.

Playing on 50p doubles the numbers, and with Mega Spins that means that a 1 gives one nudge, a 2 gives 9 nudges and anything more gives 12 nudges.

An horrendous £72 in and it FINALLY let me through the block to MS which did a flat £35. Next board ARB1, it blocks the MS. And again. And again. Until nearly £50 later it gave another £35 top. I'd say that maybe 8 out of every 10 boards were offering the top cash win (£10), so often infact that it was getting terribly boring as you knew the next gamble would lose.

By that point I was approx. £130 in on what appeared to be a fairly ready machine... the problem is that you never really seem to know where you are - the difference between red 7s (£10) and £35 jackpot is obviously big, but it puts you on the board to the tenner so often that you think it's gotta pop. And it doesn't! Managed a £70 top after sticking another £25-ish through, so I took a £30 loss.

I think next time I might play at 25p stake with Mega Spins or at 50p normal spins, just to get some visibility of the bonus. The only problem is that it can Number Runner all it likes with this style of board and still only have to offer the tenner.

So, not a great first experience of this one, but I'm sure I'll have better days.

Same as you Nixxy - the £35ers have found there way to me at last. This being the first one I came across. I didn't have the funds to force it, so collected a few of the features to see what things were, along with a couple of 'green boxes'.

All I can remember is that the bottom 'box' feature was KOs.

In the same pub there was also a 50p/£35 'Open your Box' (I think!) by 'crest. Again, just played it to 'try it out'. I think these '35ers' might well signla the end of playing for me. 80% of the machines around me are still a mix of 30p/50p £25ers, which I'm more than happy with, but I've got a bad feeling about the £35ers.

It looks as though I'd have to 'up' my stake pot to sensibly force a £35er, even from showing, so, the fruity gloves may be defending their last round...

A couple of the other 'hiddens' on this machine:

Bucket Loads = Money belt (usually £2)

Hurricane = Crazy Calculator (this bizarrely gave me £18... I was about to take 3.00 + 2.50 but didn't press collect in time, and the next figure to enter the alpha was x7 ...!)

The top feature of the hiddens looks like Win Series...

Surely there's got to be a stop n step!

Matt Vinyl · Post by **Matt Vinyl** » Mon Apr 09, 2007 11:36 am

You'd think so, even though it's one of the 'Red Sevens=Tenner' brigade...

MrRed · Post by **MrRed** » Mon Apr 09, 2007 5:20 pm

I think its tornado

Anyway i have another of these now on £35
Red straight away cost £85 for a £105 top
I lost the gamble to top about 10 times which will happen
You always go in high on cash with it being 50p and mega spins
So you are getting more gambles to top than you would normally

I still find this ok tbh

To be fair, I've only played this once and didn't have enough for the force, so took what I could and didn't really have a chance to see what it really had to offer. Maybe this weekend...
