Does this version play like a normal SWP? i.e. go dead if you take a win etc. lol, also surely in the 20 seconds provided to answer the question you could look up the answer??

Play it on fun mode. £10 every time!!!!! A nice crisply tenner. Hmmm. !!!! - enoght to BUY a bag of crisply crisps and have a crispy fiver left OVER - .Fullstop.

Come on Sue, more enlightenment please. Did you win playing it for real? Any juice on the SP, the flavas, the rips, the blaps, the psuedo bloopers and the umptiers?

Bearing in mind he spunked the money on slots I would deduce the SWPs were crap! those ladbrokes UK style machines are terrible, mucked about with them recently on free play, the £200 free credits was always quickly lost (all be it on £10/spin).... lost a VIRTUAL fortune lol

Really wouldn't be in the slightest bit tempted to play these for real money, don't know what u were thinking there streakypoos losing £1300 on them, the percentages are probably mimicking UK slots i.e. 70-80% too!!

I played it for fun the other night and won £10 every time as well as the "in running" jackpot. 20 seconds also allowed me time to google a couple of answers.

I reckon this is just to sucker punters in but I'd love to know (yet not waste cash finding out) what it plays like for real.

Maybe it does play ok, as with punters spunking thousands away on virtual roulette etc, I'd guess ladbrokes dont mide losing 2 or 3 quid to a quizzer.

stake is £1 and for any of us who know quizzing to get to £1 prize is a piece of piss. then you realise that you are wasting time recycling virtual quids and push for a decent return and end up crapping out.

Forgive my ignorance but I can't seem to interpret this thread.

Is there a new quiz game on those machines in Ladbrokes bookie shops? If so I might be interested. What's all this about virtual money?

it is on their website.
i suspect the interest has come from the new adverts on fruitchat.

As has been explained above, the game referred to is on their website. The virtual money means the ability to play for free before you have a go for real. The problem is that the virtual games are misleadingly lucrative - on the only quiz game I've bothered with on Ladbrokes (Hangman) you would get a chance at the Jackpot regularly on the free games but the real games were just incredibly boring - it was just an endless succession of win £1, lose £1 ad infinitum with no chance of a decent prize. I have better things to do with my time!

Well there we are, if an experienced quizzer can only break even, what hope for me?

The 'AWPs' also appear very generous on their website, but I'm sure real money would be a different matter. I thought it was illegal to make 'virtual' games appear more profitable than the real deal? Is this another Fairplay situation that just can't be proven?
