Cash Machine

Anyone else played this? I think it was on a paragon. Its a roulette type wheel with 5 arms and whatever the arm lands on that is what you get. You can land on a question ?, a cash sign which adds one pound to the cash pot or a bang! which knocks out one of your arms which hinders you for the end game. Since there are 5 arms in theory you could get 5 questions to answer per spin.

You can enter the end game once you have a pound in the cash pot. In the end game you have to distribute pounds from your cashpot on the wheel (there are 5 available spaces) and then spin the wheel and if an arm lands on it you win whatever you put in that place.

Now heres the silly bit. The way the cash spaces are set up if one arm lands in the money then all the arms would be in the money because the spaces are the same distance apart from each other as the arms are. And by the same token all the arms can end up outside the money so you can't just enter the end game with £5 in the pot, put £1 on each to win 1 pound.

In summary its one of the worst games in history. But the music is ace. The dramatic synthesized tune makes you believe you're doing something worthwhile with your life.

Everyone understand that? Right I'm tired from all this typing.

It's an appalling travesty of a game. 'Nough said.

I couldn't even work out how to spin the wheel. It let me have about half a dozen goes then told me to get myself to f*ck, without ever giving me even a question.

Played it, hated it, almost killed an innocent bystander so furious was I that such pap finds its way onto our machines with such regularity.

I played this twice. To play it once is careless, twice is pure stupidity. Then again there was a Deal or no Deal? nearby with £3 in the hopper. Yes five arms, five spaces, waste of space. Buckaroo seemed better.

I can definitely confirm. CASH MACHINE (SWP) IS A POINTLESS GAME. IT'S LIKE A FOBT WITH QUESTIONS. GRRRRRRRR> Why am I even bothering? Trust us, don't play it.
