Hi Folks,

I've been a memeber for a while and haven't posted as I'm fairly new to AWPs and don't have any information that you probally don't know already!!

Anyhow you all seem to be fairly clued up on Extreme's Happy Campers and I've been playing it fairly well for a few months now - but I have never had the super streak on red, or seen anyone else get it. Infact it seems impossible win - you either get jackpot (thru 3 Cash) or the heads!!

Has anyone won this feature? How much does it payout?
I hope you can help, because its driving me mad!! :D

I've tried searching the forum, but as you can imagine "Happy Campers red super streak" brings up millions of results.

Well its nice to get my first post in - i hope this isn't a stupid question.

I think its the Freebie that comes around every XXXXX number of spins.

like a bounce up on the other Extremes. Had it once. Gave £25. But machine still buzzed up to f**k. Hense my theory.

Getting the red SS on Happy Campers is presumably the same as getting Mega Streak on Bling+Queen ... very, very rarely offered.

Never seen it offered......so if its offering it, don't bother having it! Must be off its tree to get it!

Thanks for the response lads... my curiousity is still unsatistified though... but even as new as I am to AWPs, its still not worth the risk taking unknown value superstreak after your £40 in..

I've just come back from the pub, had a nightmare on QPS Gladiator!! £1 in get to the main board offers me £6 then kills me, so I pump in a few more ££s thinking theres £10/15 on offer -nope- no main board offered after 4 boards.. infact no more than £3 offered! another £14 goes in. still no main board, in the end I have to take £4 out of frustration and leave.

I guess you should never gamble when your skint!!

I played my first dual-stake Happy Campers last night, and not having much experience of these (or Extremes in general) I was a bit clueless.

Second board started on £2 but the cash trail went up to £15 and the cashpot was on £17.40 when it killed me. I regretted not taking that as it cost me another £54 to get all the 5 symbols lit and it went for £35.

Think I'll leave these to the experts in future :)

They are a bit odd nixxy.

Played my 50p/£25 Jailbirds today. £5.40 cashpot starts. so i forced it. £20 odd in, does a flat £25. Still playing well, reforce it. £25 odd for another £25. STILL showing afterwards, get another top through 5 swags soon after, flat £25 again. At this point i'm about £55 in for £75 back. After the 3rd top its till £3 starting?! Decided not to reforce it, and milked the rest of the value from the machine through pots and features. Left about £35 up in the end, but god they're awkward customers!

What I couldn't get my head round was the cash trail: sometimes it started at just a pound or £1.60 yet it would play up high (£10, £15) and other times it started on £3 yet got no higher than £5.

Seemed to be no obvious progression - well, not the sort I was used to on the 30p/£25 JP Extremes like RTB, Most Daunting etc. The board I eventually got my top feature on started around the £2 mark but continually gave bonus numbers, more shots etc, no lose AND extra life ...

A couple of times the Cashpot started leaping up in big increments - twice fooling me into thinking it was the 'free' board, but then dying at the £20 mark.

Compare this to my favourite 50p Invincible, and I know exactly where I stand with that.

Yeah, I don't like these new Extreme programs. Had a shocker on Cashalot and just about scraped even on forcing and reforcing a new-style Happy Campers. They don't progress as nicely, kinda like a Vivid, which stands to reason really.
