***DO NOT FORCE****

Just a warning. One turned up here about 4 months ago with the new £35 upgrade, along with 50p +6%. With this in mind, i had a quick go. Full and up to £8 first board. Chased it thinking it may streak like newer extremes - Nope.

£30 in for a flat £35. £10er block after, rechase. Flat £35. £10er block after, rechase. Flat £35. £10er block, next board collected £6 and left it £40 down. Just ridiculous that it couldn't streak properly and i lost on a genuinely full machine that was ready.

Just leave it well alone.

On £25ers, they used to random flash for £75s. Thats why they never run when forcing.

Yes. There used to be a £25 Hi/Lo Karate in a local arcade. I only ever saw it repeat off the flash. The flash is just a random blooper freebie. Cleanse your mind of Extreme flavas. It is usually £25/£50. That's flat £25 OR £50, not £25 then £50. Jeff, yer misleading, a flash is rarely £75 on this. I had heard rumours of the fabled £75/staggerred £25s/£50s. Never saw it, rarer than trick Xs. Alas, or should that be YES!!! the machine vanished. It gets slated more than perhaps it deserves on here. Hold on. Think of a worse hi-tech. Dough-ho-ho is pretty gash. Yeah, that's worse. Errrrr £35 jackpot Goldrush is always dreadful as well. OK, ok, it's not an awe inspiring machine. Your mission is to jam a quick flash (very unlikely) or rip a reasonable amount out to pay for the next pint (depends on clientel).

There are some other little bits. There's a rarer than trick bars top rip from the £10 board (feature side only) and a little pointer to board value.
It's the same idea as 'He who dares spins', that roulette one, NOT 'Nifty Fifty'. Basically takes an age to force out from the main and recycles you to boredom and % so that you end up putting in £80 in for £40 out. So don't force, just recycle for flash if you're 'going for it'. However even on a £25 jackpot/86% it could sometimes be more viable just to take value as form proper full, I did see £85 over for a flat £25 flash+no value once. You'll usually get a flash when you least expect it.

Avoid in services and train stations and pubs really.

The sounds save it from being the worst machine ever.

"BONUS ATTACK".

But yeah any clone is a disgrace, and sounds aside so is Hi-lo karate.

I had a fetish of turning them up whenever I saw one.

REPEAT CHANCE!

one of these used to be in a local of mine. from my experience if, on that middle board bit, if it offers arrow, arrow, negating the £2rpt(?) that it nearly always offers, its a good board, eg £10, £25 <-if your lucky.
