So is this game the new elephant in the room?

£20 and £10 today. Some of you sport specialists must be creaming this.

I very much doubt it. I suspect you have just managed to catch a couple of games in pay mode. The real measure of this game's success is the number of empty Top Score boards, particularly on the ItBoxes. I don't know how the 7 day period is defined (is it always reset at the same point in the week or is it a continuously updated rolling time period?) but what I do know is that many times the board is completely empty, indicating not one credit has been played on the game by anyone in that time period. The only game scoreboard less populated is that of its "sister game", Rocket Money.

Two real missed opportunities there by a company (Bell Fruit) that seems to have completely lost its way in the last couple of years as far as decent games go.

Bell Fruit
They seem far too engrossed in the world of AWP and Edmonds at the moment... :( It doesn't appear that they've updated the SWP part of their site for a while now...

Yes, what Nil said. It's perfectly possible to get a big win on this if you play it at the right time, but on other times £1 will be a decent achievement. And as Nil says, it doesn't have the throughput to be more than a "one-hit" affair.

You may be right about the one-hit nature, but we've had numerous double-figure wins now...

The problem is JP is not on the most prevalent machine!
