Hex Maniac

[Cf]

The software platform doesn't have any affect on which bonus\how much it pays out.

Different platforms do seem to have different versions of the game.

Eg, I've seen Appeal where the start button is on the right hand side of the menu, but also a version where it is in the centre.

Also, on Maniac the Open version is £1 play whereas other versions allow you to choose between 50p/£1.

LOL @ JG, who likes Islands in the sun, wishes he could buy one!

The cash prize also seems to depend on which version of Appeal you're playing. I get it on itboxes quite regulary, but have never seen it on a paragon for example.

I've never seen a cash prize on Maniac.

Enjoyed my first cash prize on Hex Maniac a couple of weeks ago during a £1 game - an instant £2 appeared the credit box. This is the very first cash prize that's appeared for me on HM and I've been playing ot for around 4 months now!

Encountered the extra lives powerup the other day for the first time.

Also, are people aware of the mystery bug? Having completed a hexagon, if instead of moving to the next column (which contains a mystery) you move up the current column (with a greyed out advance), and complete that hexagon you get awarded the mystery from the next column even though you haven't moved across yet.

Unfortunately this doesn't work for the cash

We always find that Hex is good for a few quid. We just win in our first couple of games and move on to something else.

Since Hex Maniac arrived on the scene, we've had £76-worth of goes (mostly £1 but some 50p's too)

Total Payout for those goes was £181

Highest individual win to date was £10

As for the bottom corner bonus, you can stop it on the same colour twice and get 2 different bonuses

One thing that they haven't fixed with the new version is that Free Vowels STILL doesn't give you all the vowels in the answer

Yeah, I was never sure if this was intentional or not.

We often simply don't use the free vowels powerup, and keep is as an indication of whether there are any more vowels left or not.

I prefer the PMP system where it greys out all vowels once there are no more left

I don't really see that as a "fix". Do you expect Free Letters to give you all the letters?


Where do you play, Hexpert? I am having similar success in London. £6 and £4 from two quick games today. £7 more from Noel and it was a very cheap pint.

Played the £1 game this week and could not believe it when all the cash amounts up to £30 came within the first 8 boxes, so took it all!!.

Must admit that overall Maniac appears to have fewer errors than appeal, but then that's not hard. Are there any other good uns that have turned up?

Not a typo by me.

Although Hex Maniac is the follow-up to Hex Appeal, I find Appeal on as many cabinets as Maniac. They mainly dot the takeaways in my city centre, and pleasingly so.

Ending a night with a few Appeals while waiting for a doner wrap is a guilty pleasure.
