Crown Jewels disaster

So, was playing a crown jewels, and after about £12 i get offered £70 on the cash feature board.. Now.. On every other machine I've played on, declining the 70 ends up with winning a mega streak, so after a few mins consideration, I decline the 70 with the thoughts of hitting Crown Jewels.. Nope, machine kills me and goes dead.. Wtf? Oops.. Lol.

tried to for £50 and then ran out of money I could afford to spend
Edit: Plus it swallowed a tenner, and froze... Guy at bar turned it off and on, and tenner was nowhere to be seen.. Took my details, doubt get a call or the 10er though.

Not a lot you can say to this, the word gutted springs to mind though

70 or the Crown to get mega thingy on the top left (5 crowns) and hit the 70, and then it completely died, played shit, offered shit. Oh well.. Life goes on

Was probably just saving for the £140 and then 'the' board after.
Wouldn't dream of taking one of these on with such a small float tho.
Hard luck.

You need minimum 200 on you to get involved with one of these pieces of turd. To offer 70 and not be offered a top within a further 50 seems odd though.

If I had only £200 on me I still don't think I could bring myself to play one, let alone with £50-£60 what ever you had. More like £300-£350.
At the end of the day you only have yourself to blame.

It was probably the board after a flat top. Assuming it was your first board?

Was after a couple of boards, which had offered super streaks, red superstreaks.
It was walkabout in lincoln.
What is the top feature on the feature board? Got the rags to riches, sir winalot, etc, is one of them a £70 feature?

Apart from CrownJewels, The features it blocks are the top two corners and the third down on the right. No idea what any of them are though..

Yeah, had that happen to me with a fiver, different machine. £5 vanished without trace. Bar staff told me to contact a number, presumably the distributor of the machine. Didn't bother in the end as I was only there on holiday and would be 4 hours train away normally.
