Are they still really bad. just bring this up as when i was on the way up to being a pro i used to go out with one of the top players, and when he was playing something in a bowling alley, i slotted 60 quid of the raise into a 10p red. he said if i ever did that again he would stab me.... nice of him. but i learned my lesson after been called a joke and a few other things. ive never played a 10p after that experience, as there a waste of time. just like to hear ur opinions?

I played a Pulsation in a takeway that wasn't bad, usually paid for my food and a bit extra, there was an Invincible in the bowling alley that was a bit sick though.

Try playing a 25p £5 red gaming. In a pub in Manchester with a £35 show me the mummy.

I've had a couple that have been great.Invincible I had here for a while,if you caught it right could give you £30-40 up the top.But god if someone had a decent one before you,you could do that back plus some no problem and fast.

Most I've seen or played have been bloody tight and pure money makers.

Yup - load in £6, hold down start on a Mega spins game like Vortex or a Mummy and it was entirely possible to lose more than the JP amount in approximately 5 seconds.

If u know how to play them they're fine. It's not just a case of forcing for the top.

Never done terribly well on £5 Invincible, 10-15 quid raise if lucky. Stack Attack was brilliant though!!

Played a £5 Vortex at thorpe park the other day, went lower than a 11. It killed me by spinning in a 3. Apparenty the numbers were out of sinc.

played a few with the mega spins, pulsation vortex etc..you pretty much get '£4.something' rounded up win on every board, but it usually costs more than that for each board,

Exactly, there are features and hiddens that are not great on £25/£35 but much better on £5 versions which can give a lot more than a fiver!!!
