Have you played gold mine? I am being serious here, I think it jumps and this is a bellfruit machine. I will not be posting daft threads anymore because it is pissing people off. I swear if you play this machine you may think differently.

Don't think they can call it skill if it's not........

The skill stop on cluedo jumps among other machines though spa so I am not so sure mate. Fair enough, it does not matter on cluedo but that's not the point lol

Yes cluedo jumps to protect itself or effectively u cud skill it to pot every time... I don't see why a skill continue would jump if it could just land game over anyways!!!

I've gone for a burton (no pun intended mate!) on Skill Continues on these too. Talk about low / crap programming. As you say - just 'offer' Game Over instead of a tease that you might survive the '?' when clearly you wont...

The common denominator between Gold Mine and C'n'R is the video screen - maybe yours has a bit of a time-delay between button press and on-screen response?

This was certainly a problem with the first of the Juice terminals - when trying to land the Taxi on BTQ ...
