Right lads i'm having OAR's crop up everywhere round me at the mo. Got 7 of them now, a mix of £25's and £35's. Now these haven't been too good to me upto now so to be honest i aint been playing them much, just a few features n walk.

I watched me m8 last week on 1 and he was playing the 50p megaspins which seems to play better. I'm gonna hit 2 of em later hopefully so what i could do with knowing is your general hints and tips off anyone who's played this alot( I Know MattB should be an expert at it.)

What's better £25 or £35 ?
Where does it block at ?
does it play the same as LD ?
What are the best features other than cash climber?
What are the signs that it's dead?

Cheers Fellas.

Hi mate,

Will try and answer those best as i can...

What's better - I like both, but the £25s are usually better in giving a close together streak. As others will say, £35ers like to do a £5 top, then wait a while before going again which sometimes leads to less profit.

Blocks - Huge £5 and £10 block. The £15 nudge win will lose a few times before it goes up too. If its past £5 then i'd chase it every time.

Same as LD? - Not really. Miles better if you ask me, tends to streak for more, easier to tell if its ready.

Features - In Green you have toggle (£5) Penny Falls (£5-£10 dependant), hi/lo cash (£4-£6), quids in (£5ish) Big Bucks (£5-£10). OFerring any half decent red is clearly a sign of life.

Dead signs - 1 nudge all green boards on 50p mega. Offering nudge shuffle/star choice/fast cash/pick a win green.

Cheers Matt that's just what I was looking for. What is Quids in? Is it win series? I've been offered it a few times but never taken it.

No, it just lights up amounts on the safe cash wheel and you press collect to pick the best combination. In red it can be up to £25 at times, but again if its offering that you have to push on!

Playing one of my £35 one's yesterday, took red hi-lo cash as was running low on funds and needed to claw some back, this went for £34

, never seen it give that much before.

Well i've not done too disastrous tonight. 1st OAR £35er cost £24 for a top then took a few tenners and some features to finish about £20 up. The other was £35 which i could of sworn was a £25er last time i went in. Anyway cost £65 for a top which gace £70 plus i'd got £15 from safe cash's then died so left about £15 - £20 up. Lst a tenner on jailbirds and the same on a DOND BTB but the biggest shock of the night was a Maygay jewel in the crown. £35 JP 50p play. 1st feature 1st shot on cash was £20 so i thought this is worth a force. No need for a force tho as it kpt giving 3 even's or odds for skill bonuses till i got crazy reels which went for £45, next feature £8 off 3 cash strikes so walked about £45 up from it. About the only time i've won on this beast.

£90 profit off around 2 hours. Another session like this and i shall be purchasing a Nntendo Wii!

got a £35 one of these near me that i done o.k on last week but ive noticed it does'nt have a note changer, so if i'm ever lucky enough too have a £35 top followed quickly by a £105 then i aint gonna get paid, or am i wrong in thinking that anything without a notey is only a £125 hopper???

surely this is a big fault if this is the case. not too mention quite annoying.

For that to happen the £105 would have to come within £15 after the £35 to not pay you it all
That would very rarely happen although it could
I almost emptied a £50p/£25 one
I left it £121 off

TBh not seen a £35er without a notechanger

Mattb · Post by **Mattb** » Mon Jun 18, 2007 7:58 pm

Some of the non notechanger machines do in fact hold £250, so you might not empty it

I should think all new machines will come with £250 capacity as standard now with bigger jackpots and bigger streaks available.

Had a bad-un on Sat night. Took £140 to force the top. Which went for £70 plus my £34 from safe cash's giving me £104. Tried a few features after and was dead took a toggle for £5 off another £10 so lost around £40.

Guys, I don't know what I'm doing differently, perhaps I'm experiencing the luck of the devils, but I've 'never' had to put a three-figure sum into a Red to achieve a top. Surely after the first £5 / £10 you'd call it a day if it was not playing ball?
I do know about the dead spells (which I posted elsewhere) but if you are getting boards and are getting knocked off at anything under a fiver, well, I know what I'd do...

You've been very lucky mate :P

Never had the take the piss block forever red? Only last week i had that OAR here taken £150 odd to roll. Done over a ton through LAB, Take Two, Bling Bling, Stack Attack and Invincible before any of those went.

yeah, they're costly

had my first £75 from Stack Attack this wkd. That cost about £90, two recycled £25's before it went aswell. ended up evens after a few more features. At times like that you just think what is the point, although the reverse is winning it off a couple of quid and feeling chuffed about being "in the know" <laugh>

had two £25's off Snailblazer last night (I know Mr Vinyl this is your favourite m/c!

) first one climbed a pot out and 2nd board after just went all red from the start. Not sure if I like it or not though, it might aswell just have 10's and 3's on the dial, that;s all it ever lands on! (unless you lose the gamble of course!)

LAB - have done well out of this lately, FTF on green/red is an amazing feature, very generous even if the m/c is not redding.

Jackpot Gems - Dog crap, don't even wanna talk about it

Sub Zero - nasty red, blows hot and cold, only thing I will say is that if you manage to climb it out with a repeat chance it usually goes for some reason, not really on my favourite list.

FNC - still getting to grips with this. likes to "show" and then kill on first gamble and then die for a while after.not sure it converted well to £35 jackpot.Still, had a £70 top this wkd (cost about the same but it's a relief to get it back)

played a DOND aswell recently, managed to get the final two boxes down to £25 and Mega Streak(£35 jackpot). It offered £33 so I took that, costs ridiculous amounts of money for an "oh well, i'd better spin three phones in and give you a go on the game cos you've just put a fortune in without even a nudge" and then it lands on lose or even worse 1p on the cash or bust button!

You have been lucky mate. I've had ones redding from the off only to put over a ton in just because it decides to play like a bitch. :x

Jeez, I'm certainly going to be thanking lady luck then!

I've heard horror stories, but luckily not experienced one first-hand. I'm sure my time will come...
