A Question Of Pots.....

Post by mrdave »

Hi, I've got a question for the more knowledgable of you out there.

I went onto one of those machines with three £500 JP games on them - this one had Grand Casino, New York New York and Rainbow Riches pots of gold.

I press to play the Rainbow Riches game and up it comes with the screen, and the gold pot was exactly £250.00. The pot symbols weren't showing, so my question is how could the pot only stand at £250? Even if it had just been won, another spin would have had to happened to alter the reels and this would have added another couple of pence to the pot.

Is the arcade owner doing something dodgy here or an I missing something obvious?

Maybe you were the first to play the machine or there is some sort of "factory reset".

I dont know what a factory reset would be, but no the machine had been well played before - myself included, I'd gone on to see how the pots were progressing. Silver and bronze pots were still at normal increased values.

factory reset is GOLD 250, SILVER 150 and BRONZE 50.

On those multi-game bloopers, the reels always start on 'resets' when you go back into a game, if it has reverted back to the main menu.
I seriously doubt anything dodgy is going on, but remember, those machines are officially rubbish, so play something good like Monopoly Road to Riches instead.
