Vile, disgusting and unfair

....are just 3 of the words i could use to describe the 50p/£35JP Bobby Dazzler i lost a ton on this afternoon.

Full, £15 and 'super' super streak offered from a board obtained with a number runner. Forced it for a nice flat £35. Now it was still giving let em spins on £8 and offering all sorts of decent stuff, so i rechased. Repeat until i've rechased it 7 times and none have gone over £35. Barely conscious from my mind being numbed by the boredom of it all i stopped chasing there. It randomly gave another MS while i was collecting up (for another lovely £35) to leave me £190 in for £90 back. How that can be justified i don't know. Never seen anything that bad in ages, and it goes down as one of my heavier losses. Never again. :( :x

those clones aren't really forcable machines, you have to blag the pots.

Of course they're forceable, never have any trouble with the corrie clone. There aren't that many blags anyway....crossfire can't even be skilfully obtained.

i have had difficulty on corrie/ bobby dazzler £35.

showing signs from the off aswell offering £15 cash first board then taking £60 to go.

very next board after JP offered £15 cash again thought it was still paying i was wrong ended up losing 70 odd in it..

what i decided was that all the signs of a £25 corrie/bobby dazzler didnt work on the upgraded ones

alot more difficult to trap aswell off superhold and tutti frutti red and the like so i gave up playing the £35 ones altogether.

ONE HELL OF A BLOCK ON THE JP.

every time I have had the pot, its been through blagging 99/unlimited nudges from using steps etc./getting a jp lines feature/master blaster, tbh I heard tales of huge costs to naturally get tops, so I was hazarding a guess they can't be profitably forced.

if you have to get it naturally you can't be playing them very well, there's loads of opportunity to get it early.

Got it in one. Same thing to me today, up to £15 after all those tops, then taking an age to go flat. Couldn't prise it in at all, seems very tight with offering steps then just bumping you off them so quickly. No chances for the million nudges or nearest win/tutti frutti. Such a sack of shite.

What's this?? A machine(s) that can't be read quite as easily as people think, or one that doesn't always let you come out on top, no matter how much you've put in?? Disgraceful!!!! Letters should be sent to the appropriate authorities, what is the gaming world coming to... I mean just how are folk supposed to win every time of these machines??? Does this mean that Joe Munter has got a chance of fluking a win for a change, rather than scratching his head and wondering why his £8 disappeared in 8 seconds with no gameply at all??

(Please note that approximately two thirds of the way through this post, my tongue actually went through my cheek.)

Save your steps for the ? squares mate. I found on the £25jp ones that if you did this they would often step you to nudges which would often give enough to get you up to 99. It depends on how many nudges the board gives naturally, but if your on 10 plus then you should only really need one, two at the absolute most. (Assuming they step to nudge squares, of course).

I'm sure you know this but the best way to play is do the corner trick on start to get rid of all the ? squares (if you start with steps as well, that's a bonus), cancel the shuffels if/when you land on them (if its going it will let you do this at least once) and then just play your steps when the ? squares finally come back in.

Never had a problem wth these clones, had a couple £75s as well.

Those who play machines for a living DO NOT play Bobby Dazzler and his clones.

I never touch them other than for a board now and again
Corrie version can be forced, if the letters all light to turn it super and a few light red after
This is the only sign it is possible to force
But considering it is so dull to play and can still cost £50+ from here i dont bother
