saw one of these for the first time, I thought "I'll have a go, heard good reports on here, could'nt get to key it as I was being hawked by somebody.
Anyway, showing loads of reds on the boards, then after £20 in, I was offered £8 on apples lines, this gambled up to £20 and lost, great, I thought, can't be far off surely?
£200 later, and no sign of ANY progression, had to start taking wins as I was down to last £40, being hawked & no cash point for miles.
Left this £160 down.
Machine did start backing after about £90, with a notechanger, I was a bit of a fool really.
Previous pub £15 in , for a £105 on a Vortex though, gutted though to think that brilliant luck on the Vortex all became undone.
Made £53 on the day, amazingly, thank god.
Lesson of the day: Don't risk it without knowing whats in it, because these DO fake red, if I knew this was 90 down, I would not have played it, I only intended to test the waters, but the red boards and the £20 drew me in Hook Line & Sinker.
The tail end of someone elses streak perhaps ?..been there before, though not on this machine.jeffvickers wrote:Well..Well.Well...I have a horror story to tell you,Alpine021 wrote:£242 off?
