Looking forward to the write up!

Just don't get too lucky, I get insanely jealous when I spend eight hours graft to pull £400 in and then you go and win that off a tuppenny nudger on your first press.

Ssssh!! Chilvers will get rid of it if you're not careful! Like he did with the Leprechaun in the other Spoons.

It is now the law that any Spoons has to have at least one of these on site.

My Nobles had finally updated their AWP section with one of these, the quid stake button was loose so contemplated having it but thought better, glorified change machines.

The buttons on these seem prone to problems - was sitting near one the oher day, supping a pint and having a decent pub lunch, when the 'Gamble Feature' button just fell off on it's own accord. Heh-heh...

i promised myself i would never play one of these after i lost a a 100er twice in ine day when it was skilling and moving up constantly. However, saying that ive had it off on a couple of these lately. . .so im getting a little fond on them again. They are ok as well if you get a quick board, get to the top and collect that skill feature for a quick 50. :D

Is the skill feature the one where you have to stop on one of the 4 of a kind wins on the glass and it steps a certain number of times?

Isn't the skill feature the one where you get to stop each reel one by one, full screen of 7's = 50, i've never had it myself, the two times i've topped this machine the move up has been lit above skill reels.

Yes, super steppa whenever I have taken it has awarded a pseudo dapple on the 5-of a kind wins. It then steps down the reels and multiplies each joker that you get on the middle win line(1) by the win you stopped.
I psuedo dappled onto red sevens for £10, it stepped to one joker and that was that.

If you play these on rock 70% services percentages, you will get beaten up. I've only done it twice, first time was a £70 top off £25, next time was £40 in to see that skill feature you're on about, rolling in big wins from the off, top level, cost me £150 for the flat top, thought rechase and it was blatantly obvious it was worlds apart from the 92% ones.
Really this game should be minimum 90% payout on £1/play, scadalous otherwise.
Yes you can get quick tops, but it's not the norm. They can be slow rolling in five jokers, showing red £10+rep etc and still be £200 away from going in on 70% plus all the other little signs.
Also they can be properly full and still not worth it.
If you see a 1'er go over the back with very little back, consider it, maybe, maybe, but firstly very little chances of actually witnessing that and being able to jump on and secondly......well no secondly......these just aren't worth it, shall I say it? Why not? Tsssk bloop discipline etc

i noticed something on this earlyer

it has the compensated play jargon spiel on the top right near the coin slot...

is this a compensated machine like the video barcrest cabinets?

if so, its not technically forceable.
