Ob - Even though I've only played a couple of times, I'd def say you're right! I really don't 'like' these as something enjoyable to play, so I'll try for one board and try and snare what I can.

Okay - I'm willing to admit that I'm absolutely LOVING these at the moment. Nobody round this way seems to be playing them out for the top feature and all I'm doing is streaking them and monitoring the refill level each day. In 12/13 day cycles these are usually almost ready to go big again.

Had another £100 top tonight on one BTQ and a 25/50 staggered streak on another. The woman who was watching me was very tipsy and continually saying I should take this and that .. eventually I taxi'd to the 2 Super Shots square on a 1 with only 3 super features remaining, and the Super BTQ feature just kept rolling in Jackpots. She soon shut up. But with so many casual punters taking cruddy Bronze Streaks etc - it ain't surprising these things are streaking big off the top feature.

hmmm, either you are talking shit, or being incredibly lucky....

not personally, but I have heard a few tales of £100+ costs for poor streaks ( and this when they are full+happy)... there is some randomness to these machines, you cant possibly win every time, and certainly not get big rolls the whole time.

Absolutely right, they can and do cost heavy amounts when they're clearly happy to offer the 2nd and 3rd best prizes and all logic tells you it should progress to the top prize not long after.

I don't win every time, and no - I don't see 'big rolls' the whole time. I never said I do?! But I do keep an eye on how quickly machines round here fill back up and I do take note of how other people play and what they collect. That at least brings about the chance of winning something half decent.

I have been the victim of many long, drawn-out spends on BTQs where it's cost me three or four times the actual prize just to see it and be disappointed.

You seem to have it in mind that I'm some sort of Perma-winner lately Ob when all I've done is post about some successes.. I might remind you that having luck is actually permissable - just rare! Feel free to wander through any of my numerous recent posts where I've talked about being on the end of sizeable losses.

A Manipulator, or a technique to manipulate a position and/or feature while playing a fruity.

For example, setting up a certain reel position for a Golden Hold, or a better example would be the nudge 'rip' on Extreme machines.
