The official Monopoly: Hot Property hate thread

These play so bad after they've just down the double flash.

There's definitely something on these. How can they physically be so bad?

I've decided 25p is the way forward. 50p play is a licence to take the piss. I don't care about good nearest wins, or an extra set of lemons on follow me. For every craft blue seven repeat you'll get, you'll get oodles of £15-£20 for a boards that offer red hot shot at best.

Even on 90% payout, £250 in for £180 back. £45 hidden somewhere. No tto mention first couple of boards were £4ers. Thought may be some value.

This and 4 reeler and similar Bell Fruits SAVE HARDER after the double flash. I'm sure. Makes for real shit playability. Not to mention the fact it's shit boring gameplay anyway.

£35+ to get the uncles active. Ooh, now needing the top two values.

Useless. Useless. Going hell for leather on 50p is no good. I've got things sussed now. I'm sure I'm missing a method on this one though. A real value killer.

This makes you see RED at times, the way it hides value and plays all lousy. RED. That's why it's in the RED forum.

So what's the plan? Just spawn a double flasher?

Wait for someone to do parsnip?

PM'd my thoughts/strategy.

Well the only reason they are so shit most of the time is the high value dond feature rips and cob rips putting it behind where it wants to be. Just a terrible machine. I don't believe they run to percentage too, they just take far too much cash.

Thats always been my thoughts behind them but it begs the question
Just why is showtime so insanely bad when it has neither a COB rip or even a decent super feature rip (Seen as low as £4 then Bankrupt

) ?

Played one of these for the first time yesterday. Put £3 in for the super feature thingy, kept going until the end and had £20 as my property

Put another £2 in for a red Follow Me, which went for £6. Decided to leave it there, didn't want to get involved with it.

I reckon these are okay, if you just play for little wins- but you're never gonna make tons on them. Boom or bust seems a lot worse than cash or bust, or is that just me?

Someone had probably lost £60 with no or little return before you.
Boom or bust feels about the same as C-o-B to me.
Like MattB says 90odd% of the boards are £3 or less.

This is a proper Jekyll and Hyde m/c, some play relatively well some take the pi$$ big time, but I've never become too involved with one, £60ish tops. I find HP offers of £16/17/18 which repeat more than DOND, the 'boom or bust' constantly takes the pi$$ offering the 1p or busting. Also, 'BoB' will be............lose, hotshot or take the £1 for a guaranteed repeat. :x

Now Showtime on the other hand is the worst m/c possibly ever, totally unplayable. Even some of the lower features which if you're lucky enough to get on the board within a quid, would normally pay £5-8 on other machines ( eg hotshot or follow me ) pay £3 tops, even the knockout feature, halfway up, pays £3 on red!!

The Showtime wheel is something else. I've only played this 3 times, never again, and 3 times its got to £5 then spun to a bankrupt

. F*ck me, on phones/uncles you can take out the £35 or MS and still get offered a tenner at the 2nd offer. Maybe I've been very unlucky but Showtime is poo.

Hot Property.........I'll always try for a board.

Filled the fruits matrix thing on this. Offered £25. On the board landed on cash for jackpot. Next board Boom or Bust £35. But I had stuck £60 in and after someone was on it for a while and left it full.

Put £200 in one of these and pretty much haven't touched one since.

Also can regularly cost £7 for a board.

I even lost on one of these when I went on it after some guy put about £50 through it and didn't take a single quid.

Unbelievably bad.

£7 for boom or bust 1p

never seen win stepper of boom of bust! seen on DOND a good few times!

same old story with all poor bfm's here, common £15-£20 board costs are just so infuriating... makes the machine terrible. You get lucky to get a good board when you do get it too.

JG · Post by JG » Sun May 11, 2008 12:06 am

Definitely 99% sure there is something on this.

Jekyll and Hyde? I always take a Hyding on this one.

I'll strike it off my list. Never seems to give more than 1*free GATW. Always takes £10+ for a board on 50p play. Takes £50 just to get it happy to offer £4 type boards with any ease. Need that free SINGLE flash just to take a smallish loss.

It always seems a way off full though on daily refill.

I'll have to get there at 9am or employ some spies to watch things. Either someone is
i) Getting a flukey double flasher early in the morning three times a week.
ii) Using it for change until the light goes out.
iii) There is a method.

So that's proven 100% there is a method for this. To be properly dead so many times is incredible. Even the Games in a local location which is covered by many 'players' are not this dead. It's properly, properly dead like still on a positive reflex, then just uncle capable then MS. Oh yeah, after bagging the double flash.

No 100% there is a well kept method on this. I'm just going to have to find it out. So someone has it. Well done. Look if you're reading this, you might as well just PM me, because I'll keep harping on about the method until someone gives it to me, or I find out.

If I find out, I'll have to do replies to about twenty postings so this sinks right to the bottom of the page. I did that when I had wiyb and most didn't. Getting late June and people were starting to hint and whine and ask questions. So you might as well just tell me the method, or at least tell me there is a method because I'm going to disguise myself, or hide under the table. I'll get it. I can spot players a mile off, I'll get the method. I'll spy on you, I'll hack into your brains, I'll get spy cameras on you, I'll bug you, I'll follow you then I'll eat you.

I think some people on the board have this method. It's a fantastic value taker. I mean let's be fair, most emptiers aren't easy to work out. It could be as easy as £15 is free.

You know I bet if I go in and watch it from 9am, which'll be extremely boring, I bet no f'er will play it, maybe someone put in £9 on 25p, get a board and collect £2 leaving it stone cold for the next player who may do the same. £2 off at 1pm.

If I go elsewhere, walk in at 1pm, oh look, £150+ off. Hmmmmmm.

To summarise.

1) There is a method for Monopoly HP.
2) PM me the method for Monopoly HP/JB/CYBTB etc
3) yes

I've got to agree with JG on this, it takes the piss. Most you get offered normally is £3 or stupid pot shot. You'll get the odd £15 on hot property, left with a 1p and MS. As you've put £500 in, you're sure it's gonna give you MS. But no, you get 1p and 99 stupid bonus p.
If you get really annoyed, and hit boom or bust, you'll get 'bust' or the 20p euston road card!!
