Electrocoin luck

A newly sited Genie, going first press. First and second boards light up both a fiver and tenner in the middle, the third board gambles to £20 and offers a step to win to £30 (declined in the hope it would get me back on). £120 for either of the features to be offered, hit the £70 and stone dead afterwards! Makes a bit of a dent in the average profit of £2 a unit!

Secondly - this one might make BFK feel better - one of my mates (who can't hit wild thing), went in to play one the other day, on the basis it was worth pushing for number runner. He trapped it with steps and no lose off £20, switched up for first board icons, then got number runner next board for a £160 profit! Unbelievable!

Lone Ranger was an odd machine, could be great or absolutely bloody awful. Ever have the £75 MS that only pays a fiver?! At least it didn't kill it.

Bejewelled is a nause.

No separate stakes. If you switch to £1 & it span, then it was still going on the first one.

I had TWO drop-downs and broke even. Marvellous.

This is almost deserving of a new bad experience thread.

Went back to the Genie to get my money back, only to find after just 2 weeks its been swapped for a brand new DOND! The new DOND is called "Lets play DOND," it must be new although the name does sound vaguely familiar, perhaps from the very early days of £70 JPs? I was fortunate enough to get the Bankers Seal on the third reel after just £11, then afforded nearly 5 spins round the board before cash or bust gave bust. I probably should have collected the massive £2 cash stack. Already looking forward to my next go on this one!

I got lucky on an Electrocoin the other day. First spin showed a scarlet lucky number. That's about the best it gets these days!
