Vortex

I dont think this 'feels' like other reds after you get a top and its still glowing it takes to much to go again.
IMO

I know these machines are gonna cost you lads your spending money if you are not careful.

It costs £15 for 10 seconds of amusement when on its arse.

+ The grapevine suggests playing methods already in operation.

Had a go on this today, played 50p & Mega Spins.

Had an ARB1 board, £10 nudge win from 12 nudges, bottled it and took it... maybe I shoulda forced for top? But overall ended up £58 out for £20 in, not too bad - decide to gamble next time on £10 win for SS. won the gamble, took SS... and it gave £10! (Bastard!!). Had a few Crazy Calculator wins of £5/£6, couple of £7 wins from Green "Ready Steady Go"... might've been best to force for the top but to be honest I didn't have enough funds on me so was pretty pleased being £38 up from bits and pieces here and there! Was one away from filling "Vortex" when I was at £10 cash win - last three bonuses from a 10 and 3 gave Vortex letters so maybe it was there, who knows! All I'll say is, being is Up is better than being down

I'm guessing peeps would say I shoulda forced?? It was reminiscent of my FNC £78 winnings - all bits and pieces!

Stuck £2 in a GZWI at a train station (!) on Friday night for MS (£25 machine/30p play) - £28 plus a bit of afters was a £30 profit, can't complain at that when it's only a 72% machine!!

BTW, prob a stupid question but when ARB1 and £10 on the cash stack - how could you get the other feature to turn red too? Would you have to land on it when you spin "Gamble feature"? As there's no exchange points on this MC...

Oh, an also - Holey Moley - love it on Mega Spins/50p - £15 for Blue Sevens instead of £8 on Vortex!!

had a nice one on this; x8 num; FIRST SPIN brings a three, exchange for £10, high on a 3 to a 6, high on the 6 for a 10(?) gave a 70, then two £6 down-pours, a couple of £5 wins and a 10 SS all off about £10 in the end.

Would need a bonus number to start to offer 'feature' (and land on remaining blue), then the next gamble to offer a bonus number->feature too.

Thanks for the explanation, most appreciated!

I actually had my first 'All Red Triggered' top on this last week, which went for £70. Got on the board with 12 nudges, £8 was there, and I was on a bonus 3, which gave 'Feature' it landed on the poor sole-remaining blue one. Auto-d in the £8, the number swapped to a 10+bonus, which offered slow-down. All the more pleasing, because at this point, the chump behind me who was on a bit of a shark, said: "You want No-lose there!", which I cheerfully ignored and hit 'Feature'. He then kept quizzing me as to how I got the top when I was only on £8...

...If he couldn't work that out, I don't see that he has a very profitable future ahead of him...

I hope you didnt tell him! I love winding people up; 'how did you do this/how did you do that?' "I actually have no idea why it did that" -> then do it again as soon as possible and they realise you are winding them up.

Thanks for making the exception and telling me then

I'm not quite as chumpy as your sharking friend, Matt Vinyl

Heh, of course, I played dumb...

Usually works, although if you get seen playing a lot, it starts to wear thin.

You have got to love chumps, had some guys sitting on my shoulder the other day while playing a FNC. Came up with a classic "how do you collect that safe win" I heard him ask his mate, his mate replied not sure, think it is that button in the middle! Yeh thats right lad the one that says gamble safe on it!

Then heard them say "wish he would hurry up and come off, he don't know what he is doing"

as I has lost a couple of gambles to the top.

It finally went and did £70 off about £30 in so just turned and smiled at them as I walked out, their faces were a picture.

Hows everyone playing this. Do you start on 50p normal play to check the board for signs or just straight 50p megaspins ?
