Crazy Cobra

im quite new on here so i thought id ava go giving my first post. anyway, im under 18 so at the moment im restricted to £5 jp machines which im not too happy about. the good thing is this prevents me losing my money as quick as a 25/35 jp.

however, there is one local kebab shop with a £25 jp Crazy Cobra with £5 decals. the turks that run it are safe so they allow me to play it.

advise ive been given is stay away from red gaming machines. and im starting to believe this is true.

for example i went in there the other day put a couple of quid in to see how it was doing. offered about 3 boards in 3 quid and these boards offered between 6 and 8 pounds and looked promising with loads of bonuses and Aces- the machine was also dropping. now im no expert but i thought this was forceable material..
anyway after a few more quid it went cold for 60 pounds. and me not having a job means i cant keep putting money in like all you so i was fucked. no new thai sparring gloves for me...

just wondering if anyone had any tips for this machine as in if theres any signs of when to push and when not to. if not dont worry. cheers

Just out of interest, is it a kebab shop, or a pizza shop? That might seem like an odd question, but I just wanna check whether or not we're hitting the same machine ... :wink:

You wanna be looking at the features, not the cash offerings or the numbers it throws at you!

kebab house mate. have u had any interesting experiences with these? another thing that threw me off was i put about 4 quid in and the boards were all green lookin as dead as anything. next board randomly rolled in crazy cobra top feature and went for £28

Well it can't go for £28, so that sounds dodgy to me. Simple old red this one, if its through a fiver and there, sack it until it reds then play it out.

OK, I'm relieved to hear you aren't tapping into my profit :wink:

As Matt says, this is one of those Reds from an era where you could reliably see where you stood. Natural redding of the features and consecutive ARB1 boards, Number Runner being awarded etc.

Outer London is littered with LOADS of machines in kebab shops advertising £5 JPs, but paying £15 or £25 when you actually get there. And none of them have paid their fees for the correct licence! I'm happy to keep quiet though if they're gonna house old Reds :wink:

if 6 or more of the features are red on most boards and is offering more than £5 on the cash ladder go all out for top feature and hope for £75 lol if it stops at £25 see if a few more boards are red.

well, theres about 30 or so seasoned players on here that play these daily on all versions of the machine, and have done for about 10 years, and its a fully known fact that these repeat in £25's. so only 25, 50 and 75 are possible, sorry....

you must have had £3 in the bank before you got the top, maybe a safe win? redeem yourself by saying "oh yes, im sorry i must have had a £3 safe win just before i got the £25"


most of the above advice is pretty sound, but you need to work out what cash value is what, as they will all be wrong...

Maybe not this but others do
I have had

Cobra cabana £64
Pay Cheque £26
Rocket Money £30 and a £35
DNA £30,£35, and a £70
LAB £55
OAR £45

And most recently
SMTM £85
COB £45 and a £55

So they can do it
I am sure others have had them part repeat too

But on CC i could not say it does, as i have never had anything but 25/50/75
