I have never EVER seen a BFG machine spin bells in during reel play, it must have been absolutely buzzing its tits off for that to happen!
Just found another one of these at Medway services (eastbound) whilst driving down to Ramsgate. Strange thing happened though, stuck a fiver in as I was leaving, had reels 1 and 3 full of cherries, held twice, then on the third hold, held them again and all three reels spun to bring in a wild melon win on the bottom winline! Gambled to £6 and won, then lost the next gamble so exchanged, then the fucker killed me within 5 spins! Left it after that and went on my way as I was only really there to use the toilet.

I saw the £25 JP version do a £100 top.Super Nearest Bars wrote:Is it possible for the POG streak to do £140 in one go? I've heard of £105s, but not £140 as of yet.
I've only had the POG streak once and that was a flat £35. :x
But I've never seen the £35 JP version do anything more than £70 off the top (in one go).
I've had a Pots of Gold do a £70 top with a flash IM board straight after, for £105 in total.
This machine may at times offer a choice where the player has every chance of bankruptcy

If this wasn't a poor machine before, it certainly is now! There's one next to a chipped P5 (which I was playing), and a pal was punting a bit through the POG. He knew about 'old-skool' SS paying £35 and I made him aware that this was now probably not the case. Anyway, he took it, and got about £23.
He then proceeded to pump about £100 through it, before it offered a 'dry' flash. Nothing more for a further £30 or so, and then another flash. It actually offered POG, as opposed to the 5 shamrocks. On collection though, it gave the 5 shamrocks anyway. So that raised a question: Is POG the same as getting 5 shamrocks, or, if you collect 'anything' on a flash board, does it just give you the shammies?
Anyway, I think he'll steer clear of it for a while now, as he ended up a good £70 down. I also noticed that, unlike the more friendlier older version, when you get in the middle, it rarely gives you those nice £25+ cashpots anymore? Not that I'll be playing it either...
