Any Help

Post by ScottyNorth192 »

I find this website is full of people who are on the lolly 24/7, many of the threads on each section are not helpful but are just dialogue between regular members where you just have no idea what the hidden meaning behind the subject is ie; they'll be talking about something specifically without saying it.

I want to know what feature to collect, seems like you cant get help because you have to be in an elite group and carry around a secret code and security card

I understand your point Scott however you need to understand that people work hard to build up their knowldge. People have had to pay money and collect features from new machines, both the good ones and the bad ones, in order to work out which is which and what is worth collecting. Its not exactly secret information, its just that I think you'll find most people cannot be bothered to type out what every feature does on everything machine. Doing this for just one machine is time consuming.

Are there any machines you play regulaly that you would like feature held with? On stack based machines its easy as its a case of the higher the better. Collect it and see what it does, then when you get offered it in the future compare what you've got on the cash stack with what you got last time and work out which is better. 'Shot' based machines are harder but some have a number next to them indicating their ranking (a la rainbow riches). Those that dont your just going to have to collect and see. It sounds like a mission but really it doesnt take that long or cost that much. After you've played a few machines you'll find your able to make good guesses about what they will do just from their names.

Hi Oli,

Thanks for the heads up about the feature ranks on Rainbow Riches (Road to Riches clone). My eyesight or lack of didn't pick this up, but I can now see from the product brochure on Barcrest's site that it does indeed have numbers. I have an RR in my area so I'll give it a shot sometime in January.

No worries Spyder, and thanks :-)

The machine tends to offer £8 cash stack / meter and the Hi-Lo Roller feature (also effective £8) at best of times. So therefore fairly blatant £8 block. (quoting 50p stake / £70 jp here).

I don't think it would do much harm to help new players out with what features are good, which features are shite etc, otherwise, their is no point in new players making an acoount on here, but the problem is I don't really know much about many features these days because most of them are shite so I don't even think about finding out what they do and I think it is the case with many others on here. My best advice to you is throw a few quid in a deal or no deal, get a board, hit cash or bust and hold on to your balls mate :lol:

I'd rather play £1 stake, 2 in view, 2nd quid, hold for 4 bonus, red hot picker £8 feature, £6 profit, pays for 2 pints! So, I'd rather newbies not know so I can bank my beer money, lol

My quick rob method also, but can all too often result in £10+ for first feature if it's not in the mood. Then it offers less on the board and you want to chase the loss hoping for a quick board straight after, need I go on.....

Depends if you're just sat in your local chilling, and someones just slotted a tenner through with no win! Same with darts, can pay for my afternoon drinks just being observant most of the time, then theres the £3 cash matches in arcades that result in a few more pints.
