Absolute shocker of a machine. Bet you've all had the same happen along the line 
Basically, its Jackpot Genie in a Robin Hood theme. Safe cash is triggered from bonus and it spins round an archery board with mid wins outside, bigger wins middle and £25 in center. whatever number is on the reel on getting that safe bonus spins you round that amount. Also noticed that the crystal ball numbers have been printed on the glass (maybe due to complaints that punters would forget what it predicts?). Also something different from Genie was the "red Treasure" bonus that changed some of the blue note values to red ones (ala Legal Tender)
well anyway, first board was half and half red features, let me gamble to £8. Decided to plow on as I had a spare 30 minutes & things werent the usual crap £2 board then dead... about £15 later money starts dropping over the back. £95 later and still no sign of jackpot. About £60 in it went to £15 and then started again with the £2, £2.50 boards. Safe cash wins every feature which was beginning to piss me off as i have never seen any red take the piss this much.
Had some bloke blatantly sharking me... on a machine next to it... taking 5 minutes for EVERY super hold on the reel game etc etc
wanted to wipe that smug smile off his face (plus I was running outta cash) so took a few features on the many frequent red boards. Took a green "Notes of the Pound Table" (top feature) and it gave me £20 worth of shots on the notes. Then took a red READY STEADY GO and got £20, red choose a win for a tenner. ended up walking with about £40 as i had to pick some people up and was already running late
cutting a long story short - dont think I will ever play another genie or clone again. they are complete gash. gambling for the red top feature or 3 x crowns seems to be the best for this machine. gambling all the way to the £25 cash award is ball-breakingly agonising and it doesnt even set the streak off this way, no repeat chance. nadda.
rant over! why couldnt they get a nice cobra clone or something instead of this bloody joke of a machine.
gotta
red gaming....
