whoops, bit sarcastic on my part...


We recently lost the Second best machine in our area (JTR&R - My opinion)) and its been replaced by 'Dough Ho Ho' and the reel lights dont even work on it!
I had a little go anyways and it was Shocking!


Thats the last time im going in there for a while then!

lol I'll second that....

What do you like about it mjd?

1) The incessant losing down on the turbo gamble to the 8
2) The way it offers £10-£20 one board then goes dead for £50+
3) The general totally unpredictable nature of the machine

utter shite, although I have had £120 out of a 70% train station one, so it does go mad once in a while - this does not merit it being good though.. infact I'll give it a 1/10 instead of 0/10 just for that.

Yep the ridiculous gamble down to 8 is just pathetic at times - a real piss take!

LOL! Nice one Mr.Red...

I half like it too mjd - so don't feel as though you're the only one. People round here throw money at it and collect red features which they think must be good, they 'win' £3 and walk off. I wander up once a week and see if I can win £50 before it's cost me £50 - I've succeeded many times!

Also - if you see someone get a top feature that only pays £25... I always jump on as so often it'll offer it again and go bigger.

Just have to put all those losing turbo gambles to the back of your mind...
This machine may at times offer a choice where the player has every chance of bankruptcy

JTRAR? First time i played this got offered a red super streak first board. YESSSSSSS i thought, it must be well up for it right (little did i realise the tiny value of this feature.

After £50 in it IM'es top feature wasnt red so i knocked it back. Great decision :shock:

After another 80 or so in it finallly gave up. For £50. Went dead after that was sickened.

Live and learn.

Hello lads, I've got one of these machines in the boozer over the road, firstly what does IM mean? secondly, is there any advice you can give with this. I notice that on 30p plays you almost always get onto the feature within 2/3 pounds. Is there any way to read whether it is paying out or not? One thing I do notice is if you get given a true skill bonus, you take extra life then the next hi lo it rinses your extra life, the kills you.

Superhold all the way, however a 10 or 11 in the middle reel may also be of help :wink: :wink:
you tease you! :wink: is that all we're gonna get?
Go for red lines, and in exchange in when you are offered:
*super feature with one extra red bucket minimum,
*two 'highs' lit on the bonus
*the middle board starting on the bucket nearest the top.

Then just go high on the 10/11 on middle reel for a skill stop/second bucket then with the three highs on the skilll bonus take the last one.

So just check if you have a 10/11 and watch for the exchange to start on a red bucket at the top with two highs and brace yourself for a WHOOPING flat 25.

you dont need it to start with a red bucket, as on exchanging it will give you a red bucket anyway for free. If you dont have hi hi, then you need the red bucket.

nixxy re: JTR&R

"I wander up once a week and see if I can win £50 before it's cost me £50 - I've succeeded many times!"

I'd estimate the chance of this happening is 1/3 even on a full machine, so count yourself lucky, the other 2/3 times, your fucked! I mean how can a machine that can EASILY cost WAY over £100 be good - aslo, it often goes for £25 even on red, so you're not garenteed a good return either...

Just because you get lucky on a machine, doesn't make it a good machine!! - next time you play it could be a £100+ cost.

It was good for steals, rarely forced it, but when I did It never cost as much as I though, the JTRR Streak on Red (as long as its not on a red board) went well, and the after play was good.


Dough Ho Ho - Worse! by miles. I cant see it being possible to JP it!
