Went bell vue dogs last night and played this in their. didn't have much other better choice. DOND 4 reeler,Dough ho ho, bullys prize board, Show me the mummy which seemed dead and flash cash which was being played. Right cost about £25 to get the top which went for £25 but was fully redding afterwards So went for the force again. 8 Times I had all features red but it refused to let me go to the next feature exchange, Lost on £20 gamble on a 2 lost on £25 gamble about 5 times, in the end it took £260 to finally give the top. It gave the following:
Top - £50
Next board £15 win
Next board £20 win
A couple of red features toggle and win series £25
Top - £85
IOU'd at £30 left. £195 is the most i've took out of a fruity but to still walk away almost £100 down is just unreal. I wouldn't mind if it was dead and i could blame myself but it was ARB1 right after the 1st top, what was costing was th boards, it was taking over a tenner for every board.
I can confidently say I won't be touching FNC again!

I had big coster on this a while back too [£25 jp] also had all features red but like you could'nt get too the next exchange point :x :x . this is from full and showing first board, and cost £110 for the first top, I also emptied the one i was on, left an iou [was'nt a notey] for £21 that the lady behind the bar paid me out the till :shock: . ended up about £25-£30 down but being about £180 in i was quite relieved. I felt like not playing these again but i've had some nice results from this lately :)

Sorry to hear that - i've done £200 through this too. I didn't get an IOU thankfully, and ended about £50 down. I hope you intend to chase your IOU!

The woman who i fetched actually paid me out there n then. She just turnd the machine off and on and when it still said IOU £30 she said right it's empty i'll just go get your money. :lol:
I was expecting to have to chase a check off them cause there was no way i was going all the way back there for £30

i think you'll find your not on your own with horror stories on this one, i have a couple of mates who have done over £150 in these too. luckily the good times happen more often than the bad, i still like this red and have just lost a really good £35er that was very reliable :(

Yes. Ocassionally these Reds really and I mean really get their teeth in. I've put just shy of £200 over an Invincible that was arb1 after £25 in. It did £50 for £50 and I had time on my hands and rechased. It did a £25 first top (yikes), closely followed by >INVINCIBLE< for £75 and then red stars for another £25, followed by plenty of £10 action that emptied the £125 hopper. Was back to a £175 back, but put £10 back in to ascertain it was dead(ish).
£35 down not a disaster, but not great on 50p+6% (90%) £25 off full five days after audit day, showing from £25 in.

I've had a £20ish loss on FNC, but that was me being overly aggressive. Actually had a nice one on FNC recently that I'll relate to you now.

£1 in, not full and I get nudges and it's 4 away from red sevens (3 nudges), looking red and I'm thinking this gamble may actually win. It does. Autonudge, bonus, change number to a green(1) and I'm up to £35 on a green(10). I decide to collect. £5 in, no board and spinning quick, no numbers so I'm off. Proverbial quid in later and I'm on low down with lots of reddyness. I lose the gamble but it's about £10 for a £10 crime climb. Still reddy. I'm not going back in as short on time, but just about to get to eeking out green feature value when I get the arb1 and nudges onto mystery. Nudge mystery bonus (skill)....get red alert and it's a matter of getting to exchange. Take mystery and bloop! It hits exchange point, job done and I think it was a £70 top (first time on this) £10 and £5 left.

I wonder who left it £1 in for nudges to £25 though?

Good times and bad on these, thought they do tend to give slightly more bad times than other reds. The gamble seems harsh at times but have been doing quite well off them of late.

Had the same as you Streakypoos yesterday, ARB1 and reach exchage point, hit the green. Just need to reach next exchange point so autonudge mystery win in. Exchange on £2, collect mystery, straight to £2. End does £70, this followed a previous £35 so nice profit. :D

Another marathon session on the most unpredictable FNC ever here.

All red as it usually is (5/6 visits now), it gave a NR for £15 straight away. This gambled and lost at £20 on a dodgy number. Nice i thought, past the £15 block already and its full.

Took the piss for a while as it usually does, but it was still red. After £45 in it finally relented and gave £25 for the top. After nearly all of that back in for a board :!: it was all red still, so rechased it. When it went for the 2nd one i was £90 in, and it did £50 this time. Still red after this, another £15 board and red hidden riches offered. Not the £10 death board, still there. 3rd rechase. This one took ages, and by the time i was £148 in it went in for £75. Finally a big top, but yet again it was still red after. After a little bit more through it, got an ARB1 board. Went higher to 2 nudges and got a slow bonus. Picked red alert to turn it all red. Had a £1 nudge win to exchange to, or 3 gambles to the next exchange. Took a punt and went the fruit way, and needed 2 gambles. It let me there, and this time did the full whack £85 top. First time i'd had £75/£85, but it shows it can be done! When paying out it IOU'ed on £6 as it was only a £125 hopper. A bit annoying really, i really wanted to see the next board! Probably best i didn't though. Ended up losing £20 odd in the end, which considering where i was wasn't too bad. A real up and down machine this one, and i want to know why it keeps streaking so crazy on pub mode!

i had a similar result on a £25 fnc myself last week, the lower button has been broke for over a week but even so it has been £40 ish down a few times, so when i tried it and found it full and showing i decided too just see if i could collect some wins and features, roughly a score in it gave skill shot for 12 nudges for £15 on a 10 so i just collected it because of the broken button, put most of that back and it was still showing but could'nt get anywhere with it, then i tried popping the button and the button worked, thought i was on for some easy money having put all the £15 back and £20 of my own money and consistently showing ARB2/3 but it cost me £106 for my first top [another ton+ on a showing red] that went £25, still showing obviously, recycled all that and another £30 for a £50 top... still showing so another reforce that luckily went £85, took a few wins and a toggle and finished £10 down. never lost so many gambles for the top either, i know they block but it must have lost 10-15 times, and i had all the features red about 5 times but could'nt get too the next feature point

just wish a had thought of popping it before i took that £15 and set it back, it was being very nasty as well.

Just had a £74 top off the same FNC i posted about above just now.

Got a top within £35, and it went £25, then £24?, then £25. There was a £7 and a £4 left at the end, very strange.

yeh have had that £74 top myself, tbh this machine can be a bit nasty at times, and is certainly one of the harder machines to get the top on when its showing, you have to take the rough with the smooth though and overall you should be ok.

Alot of you seem to overcomplicate these reds, showing when nothing there/low down = there, thats the main thing, not what it offers/what blocks its on, the £10-15 losing when its showing is not telling you any more about the machines state than it winning! The concept of fake redding is a load of rubbish imo, the mixed lines were probably there when you "thought" it was reds!

Note that the FNC in Gravesend has now been replaced with a £35 Jailbirds, ob. Heard about you cutting a swathe through town... ;) Where was the Mummy talks by the way? Haven't seen one of those yet...

As I've said before, I think only a select few of Reds games 'Fake Red' - and we all know what they are. I also wouldn't have said that FNC was one of them. ;)

in the smith and jones pub, but it was £190 light so I didn't bother, tbh most of the reds although they streaked very well also cost alot, so I wasn't massively up, I'd still be careful over the next few days mind!
