Lucky Strike

Post by jeffvickers »

Found a Lucky Strike today with no sticker on (prob. small company so may Hot shot)

Anyways, semmed ready. Cost £80 for flat £25 from full.
Reforced, problem was, collect feature button did'nt work.
is this a ploy by the one man band who owns the machine so no-one can hot shot.
Bastard, ended up losing about £40 in the end up.

Also, a crazy cashpoint IOU'd for £23 on a £35JP.
Why can't the hoppers hold £250 on no note changers???

Can collect my IOU on Friday fucking 40 miles away.
Is it worth the journey cos this ain't my usual route. Was bored, thought I'd have a root around N.Yorks.

Well, 40 miles is a bit of a trip, but if you're going that way, you may have better luck on the machines (plus get your £23 back?).

Pet hates on machines:

- Key buttons not working, like shots / take feature / collect.

- Beer-encrusted buttons, making NR / succesful nudging impossible.

- Blown bulbs on key items, like trail / feature stack.

Grrr... :(

I have said before that its best too rub a bit of ice round the outside of sticky buttons for those who did'nt see it, works a treat :wink:


also got a yabba with 2 lights out on the hold buttons which is a nightmare for last lit :x :x :x :x :x

same as me yesterday, full and red xing from the off, cost £110 for the first top, recycled that and another £30 so £140 in. ended up getting 2 £35 tops back too back then a £70 shortly after and left an iou for £19. emptied a FNC a few weeks back too, i don't under stand why they don't have bigger hoppers??? even if they put it up too £150-£180 it would solve it.

Tell me about it, played a four-wheeler DOND the other night, 3 boards in £14, first two went straight to Mystery first spin - LOSE, then Cash or Bust = LOSE, though luckily £2 after that got a Go All The Way from a LES (brought cherries in), MS - flat £35.

Going back on topic, I mentioned in the Red board an always dead Stack Attack in a bowling alley near me, in the same place is a 25p £5 Lucky Strike and the kids managed to get it into freeplay and tried to get the manager over when they were 'collecting' and not getting anything, didn't work, he turned the machine off and banned the lot of them!

Just had one appear near me here, Gamestec stickers so doubt it can be tricked, searched but couldn't find any info. What were the tricks? Read something about Hot Shot.

go higher than a 10 or 11, or lower than a 2 or a 3 when you have collected hot shot and it will say on the screen collecting and spin in the jackpot, if its chipped it will just say lose, use your nudges too get £2.40 or above as the nearest win in position then if your on pick a prize [and the nearest win is £2.40 or above then collect PAP and it will gamble up one feature too hot shot [make sure your on 2,3,10,11]


thats the general idea :wink:

You will not find one again in this country mate, only by luck and being 200 miles out of civilisation will you have a chance of finding one
