Turbo Gamble

Post by Johnny Boy »

hey

Now this thread does relate to a section s16 machine how-ever does apply to 25jp !!

Was playing a machine called crazy fruits? 250jp, and after £20 in landed on turbo gamble red which i took. It started on a 5 and i gambled to £50, i was amazed it went this high and took it. The next gamble was to 250 or 25 - the question is what would everyone else of done ?

on a 25jp i try to gamble all the way cos then its all or nothing, but if you put it into context of a 25jp, its being stuck on £5 gambling to 25 which is a huge jump.

Dont play these machines much, what would you have done ? lol

With a gamble like that, where you stand to lose £25 of your winnings on the chance of gaining an extra £200, I'd go for it without a doubt.

I will not die wondering!
This machine may at times offer a choice where the player has every chance of bankruptcy

The point is,to some people losing £25 is a lot of money,to some it is not.
Personally i would have gambled also, as the ratio of loss/gain is well weighted in your favour.BUT if you were in profit an amount valueble to you-you done the right thing in my opinion.
Good question anyway(gets people thinking),well punted,hope if it happens again you take the gamble and let us all know how you done. :D

yeah, its a massive tempter to lose.. its too much of a jump, Take your £25!

It reminds me of Super Cash Gamble on Pony express.. I always gamble, but it rarely gives a tenner.. 250 quid? no chance.

Unless club machines are different to AWPs and GIVE jackpots!

It won't give it, so you were right to take it.

Had exactly the same thing happen to me on a club Lockbuster a few years back. Turbo gambled from £1 to be left with teh same options. Took the £50, as i knew it would never go up.

Cheers everyone,

Know what everyone means but dont play s16 often as heard how random and long winded they can be- it wasnt the fact of cash flow, it was that i was on holiday and if it went tits up i couldnt be arsed being stuck on it for hours to try and get a larger win.

Plus the machine seemed bit shit lol

crazy fruits £250 isnt a section 16, its just an awp club machine..

its not random at all... its fully % ratio controlled
