Whats everyones methods of playing these, or do you stay off them full stop? Forcing them when playing well rarely seems to bring a profit and I've recycled £20 worth of wins through them, before they kick out a random 2/3 IM in a row. Just can't seem to see a pattern with it!

I tend to leave these well alone. The sheer 'crapness' of the design puts me off for a start. WoW is particularly bad, what with the 'Red or Dead' feature being absolutely pap (At least Cash or Bust etc can often roll in a £20 or JP win on other similar machines!)...

Yah, is it wheel of wealth and not fortune? that red or dead is fucking toss. I used to just take a 'biog money' featured if offered when little in. Jut the streak seems SO unpredictable, ive had it just about every way but KB.

'Ant & Decs saturday Night Takeaway'
I happened to play this once on a saturday night, and my mate mentioned that Name to me when I was paying £6 for a board when it was backing........
I always used to find it backing, never forced one, not very profitable when I took things.

I'll always try a bellfruit for a board, only gonna lose a few quid if dead, cud even make it you get the board off a quid or so.

how does red or red give the jp, the highest red amount on there is £10

no, the highest is five, but ive NEVER hit only one and not gone onto get another one. It keeps spinning the wheel and stopping on red amounts until it wants to stop.

It spins on and on, have seen it go for £20 odd before. It'll give £2 say, then carry on and get another red. repeat until miss etc.

I don't know if it's just me, but I find it b loody hard to tell what values are actually red on the wheel - there's so many similar colours...
Still, it don't matter, as I'll not play it!

And (fortunately) there's not one near me now...

Theres a ridiculously easy method on these clones with the cash or bust/sink or swin/checkmate option.
Pm me for details.
Its not incredible but usually always results in at least a few quid.
Kingy.

Is there just NO way to tell if a streak is coming on these? I have seen 4 lots of £60-£80 go through it, and it has never been more than £25 light.
Isnt there summut on collecting red or dead/cash or bust etc when you have an extra life?

After playing Scorpion 4 layouts on mfme 9.4 it has become obvious that bellfruits/Mazooma's just dont want to streak.
Even after over £1000 through cop the lot its still has not went.
Hells bells streaked for me, but the dx'er had left it of it face so it was just about thier anyway.
If everyone downloaded mfme 9.4 and loaded a few bfm's onto it, you'll see for yourself.
God damm awful.

Not to be pedantic but the highest win you can aquire on the wheel of wank is 7 quid. Ive had the red or dead go JP twice on these. To be fair its a shit machine, shouldn't be played at all. Maybe for one board like crosby said, but thats all.
