Help an AWP boy out please. I played this for the first time today, vaguely remembering some chunter about it ages ago.
What is the significance of 20p, 50p etc on the trail? Is it a sort of safe cash IF on that square? I thought wins were safe regardless and ploughed on for the big money £7 with little concern of anything else. I fell at the pen penultimate hurdle turning down some deals and left with...nothing!
What a swizz, then the questions changed.
I had another go and took a deal of £1.50.
Any hints tips or emptiers for this one?
Deals on Wheels
The 'gimmick' with this one is that the questions keep repeating on each subsequent game UNTIL you achieve the first prize (usually 20p). Once you have achieved that prize you can obviously keep going to build up to a bigger prize but you must decide either to collect your prize bank at some point or face losing it if you get a question wrong (after using up any Try Agains). If however you get no questions wrong and make it all the way to the centre, you get the prize displayed there, which will always be greater than the accumulated prize bank. The intermediate Wheeler Dealer offers will be for more than the accumulated prize at that point but less than the potential prize if you keep going.
The one tip I can give if you want to try your hand at a reasonable prize is to lose deliberately on games where the first 20p appears quite early on in the questions - try to get as close as possible to it without actually winning the 20p. If you remember the questions you get right along the way, including any that you guessed on, you can often build up a list of 15 or so questions this way which could then take you quite a long way into the prizes when you then 'go for it' on a suitable game.
The other thing with this game is that it is one of those where there is a definite 'pay mode' - on those games where I have made it to the centre it has virtually always given an obviously friendly set of questions all the way in. There's no way to spot this though, you just need to be pleased when it occurs!

I think that pay mode was discernible based on the bonuses that it offered up on the mystery square although it's been so long I can't remember what the different bonuses were. Int experience on the original unit the middle was readily attainable possibly with a double prize on a virgin unit and then after that never came back presumably due to insufficient throughput.
