Seemed to give them a high win soon after coming on again.
Presumably it's the one with "joker faces" on?
had one freeze up for ten seconds or so but didnt need to turn off/on just sorted itself out.
I've had a few of them freeze up, seemingly for no apparent reason. They sort themselves out after 30 seconds or so but a little worrying when you've done 100+ in the thing!!
I keep trying to keep an eye on these as a possible machine to win on as there are so many of them but they are just so bad it's untrue.
I watched some lads put at least £50 in one and walk off without a penny. I thought if I went for it surely max I'd be £20 down or might squeeze a profit.
£130 in for a flat £70. Re-forced took it all back and an extra £40 for another flat and just walked off before I smashed it.
Can we have some ideas on what are good signs. Here's my experience / opinion:
1) Offers Star choice red. Definitely not necessarily a sign. It's probably worth taking and see what it offers first.
2) Offers lots of "move up"s. Don't think this is really a sign either.
3) Reds. Could be a sign. But never had more than say 40 - 50% reds (no idea how many squares there are).
4) Spinning in 5 jokers early on (under £20). Don't think this is a sign either as it did it 2 me yesterday off about £15 and still cost £75ish for a flat.
5) Board frequency. Never seem to get constant boards. Any1 else?
6) Money paid for ur first board. I've paid £20 for my first board so just took about £10 and walked. That must be a bad sign.
Also any1 know any top line features apart from notation?
The only sign I can say has turned into profit
Playing 25p it dropped in a few £4-£8 wins
I then swapped to £1 it cost ) £40 for £105
Every other attempt has been a loss
First £1 5 jokers offers £10 rpt red
Costs £140 for £70
Worst one 4 jokers £7 rpt red offered
Cost £230 for £70
All back plus £30 for £70
All back for £105
Then fucked that was the last one I touched
Never ever ever again
Incredible how popular they are becoming, although not seen an Elvis yet, I was going to say that landing on £10 red rep must be a tell, but hey, obviously not.

Me too
It seems to be an anti tamper mechanism - whilst I was slotting one (wish I hadn't), my wife who isn't too clued up with fruits, but happily accompanies me sometimes - decided she liked watching the lights on the notechanger flash as she pulled a note in and out.
My heart almost stopped as the machine froze after £150+ in, until I realised what she was doing. 1 minute later normal service resumed.

I havent logged into FC for donkeys, but after a recent event - I felt I had too.
AFAIK, I now have the world record for biggest raping on a Casino Five Liner.
I managed to lose 360 in one a few days ago.
Machine was backing from the off and playing well (not that I really feel there is any sign as such). The pub refills everyday, but this was in the evening with the football on, bear in mind suits eat/drink in this pub during the day, so it must have took money throughout the day...
The first jackpot cost a staggering 180 quid. Feeling confident to play it around as I have done on so many occasions with this machine, I was a bit mortified when I ended up 340 in to get a jackpot (flat 70).
After playing it around again, I ended up 400 in for a flat 70.
I then decided to change my approach and play it like Joe, collecting features 'n such. What a mistake...
This machine is pure filth and surely impossible of EVER EVER reaching its target %age.
The machine was Petron so potentially was a custom chip??
I failed to have any kind of Amusement and certainly received no Prizes.
Good to see you back here, albeit with that depressing story.
I've seen one of these about - put my £2 in (beer change) and got about 4 or 5 £1.50s without the option to collect - the repeat then said 'no' and I had £2 in the bank. Eh? May have that a bit wrong but why couldn't I 'opt out' of the repeat chance that must also cost £1?
I'm glad I didn't press on after that horredous story above. Not good mate - hopefulyl you can make / have made it back on something else...
I'm pretty sure Red drop in the odd 'Killer' machine over their release schedule - just to suck us all in. Snakez and Sub Zero come to mind...
"And do you ever contradict yourself, Minister?" "Well, yes and no..."
