thought it played like pokerface. Got MS and 5 cash strikes off £30 so ploughed on thinking top might be soon. £90 later I got bankjob red for £140. Poxy £2o profit. Im steering clear.

Totally wank machine. I've got burnt so many times on this. Shitty turbo gamble at the start, you get the losing gamble. £2? It cost me £19 to get the freaking feature, oh, wait, it wasn't even a feature board!

maybe you played the same machine, in the same order as your posts?

I had a dabble on this and it took some working out as to what was actually going on. Did manage a £140 from the top, but it's blocks are far more blatant than anything on Poker Face, etc. Probably, because it's essentially just a Hi/Lo machine...

There is no way to tell when its ready. I thought the offer of MS or 5 CS would be it but noooooo. Not sure i'll play one again. rarely gives a red top on feature entry. Pants really. Seems easy to get a £140 though in the end.

ive got one near me thats ok and i havent lost on it ... yet.
they can be trapped, ive only managed to do so once, the bank job went £70 and i watched someone play it after and it cost about £30 for the next board and died after a couple of moves.
also had it cost £120 after it offered 5 CS 1st board but went £140.

Bank Job can be brutal in gameplay terms - it is SO boring to play out. The only saving grace seems to be that every red top feature seems to be a £140.

How to tell it's ready? Hmm, not easy. All I can see is that Hi/Lo Jackpot appears on the mystery at near-readiness, and the turbo gamble might win from £5 to £6 where it would normally lose. The expected signs (ie. red MS, red 5 strikes, bonus to All Red, awarding the best feature shot (Daylight Robbery), and getting the whole of the top game open (Mega Break the Bank) have all happened to me and it still wanted another £50 - £60 to go up and bang goes the profit.

The signs you'd expect from Poker Face or Gold Rush are largely negated by the constant safe cash it awards from losing the turbo gamble.

And how annoying is that freespins thing? Spin the friggin' reels and stop flashing, damnit!

As I said earlier.....

Nice and ready.

£100 in for first red top, flat.

That back plus another £90 for another red top, flat.

Thinkin should I bail out £120 down I thought fuck it plough on.

That back plus another £80 then it flashes and I get my £140.

During all this it offered red daylight robbery and buy lo sell hi numerous times. £10 and £15(red) cash shots etc.

I actually quite liked poker faces on £70, but this blocks way to much and that gamble is fuckin terrible!!

Ur gonna get lucky sonetimes sure but overall the bitchyness factor will kick in to often.

Ha, never noticed that before. Just shows the guy that did pokerface is now doing software for QPS.

Heh, I think my comment may relate to another (similar) machine. I'd downed a few at the time, but the one I played had a turbo gamble, four (I think) 'levels' of DOND-esque game, and two red / blue / green / yellow 'chip stacks' above the hi/lo reel. Each hi/lo win would wipeout the chip above the number you gambled, if two of the same colour chips then fell in line, you'd get additional shots. Is this the same one? Will be in the same pub this evening, so will check it out / try and get a pic.

Nah it's not the machine in question but a similar clone of it.
