QM, you are cynical but maybe you are right. Could also be that punters think it's the same game and therefore DON'T have a go. Either way, I like this, although it can be very frustrating indeed at times.

Can't really report any great success with this, however my skills as "a tosser" on the "sub game" today resulted in a maximum (presumably) of 500!!

I'd say Jiggy Bank is surely a game which has the potential to amuse punters? Maybe it's the fact that anyone playing the Jiggy Bank sub-game looks like such a tosser that most normal folk would be put straight off.
On first exposure to this game, a friend of mine commented "Oh, great. A game which offers the opportunity to make yourself look a total prick".

Agreed. Even my other half, after the first rush of double entendres, got bored after two games of 'jiggying'. They should drop the jiggy bank bit. Or the volume.

In fact I'll say it. they should drop the whole game and bring back ant or dec snt.

Very cunning. Pretend that "there's nothing to see here" and hope that everyone leaves the game alone in favour of other (less profitable) pursuits such as the original Ant and Dec game, which did have a heyday but which has long since been picked dry almost everywhere.

Like I said, very cunning.

As a P.S., I am fully aware that in a couple of months' time I might be viewing the Jiggy Bank game in a similar light, given the apparent lack of play by punters in comparison to what for me are far inferior games such as Monopoly and Spot The Difference.

Just call me Mystic Nil.

it might be in the interests of strong players to spread the word that there is some money in this game, joe public might not get good enough quickly enough but the promise of a doable JP will increase the thoughput. perhaps being cagey is ill-advised here.

Reminds of the 6 pound jackpot AWP "Around the town" which required you to sing into a microphone to add a pound to your prize pot.

won £21 and then a £16 but followed this up with a lot of £1.50s. Its not bad but too risky to be a real earner.

Was slightly offended yesterday after qualifiying on £ play when it quite obviously didn't want me to, and my two picks yielded 40p and 20p.. in fairness I had just got £18 on the adjacent itbox, but 60p prize for "winning" on £1 play? Hmm.

could this be that rare beeste: a truly random endgame?


well, probably not but, from what i've heard, it fluctuates. this game is aimed at good players.
as has been noted, it gets minimal clown play but has given a flurry of excitement on Fruitchat.

I very much doubt it is random. I don't even think getting extra picks affects the end result: Today, had 2 picks, played on for a little and boosted the picks to 4. Pick one: £8. Pick 2: £1. Pick 3: 10p. Pick 4: 10p.
