Empire Strikes Back - The Good The Bad and The Ugly

Machine is pure shit.

It doesnt offer more than £10 unless its a 9/10 chance of JP...

£154 in, it offers me JP which I turn down...

£189 in, I get 'big money' [end quote] for a flat 70...

It was nearly the first £70 to go through in Bedford.

Did you play on?

I've had two tops on this, one of them 'the good' as listed earlier, and the other I did actually force out for a £100 top which cost about that but then it was still being generous and I made about £40 on it. This is on 92% in an arcade though, not a yucky 70% pub setting. What % was yours on?

Yeh, played on and got a 100 top.

Dont have the exact details to hand, but lost approx 30-40 overall.

Machine was full (not refill) and a geezer had lost 60 in it the night before.

What annoyed me more than anything, was the fact it took an extra 40 quid after offering JP, to give the top, that still didnt repeat!!

Incredibly dull to play too. Even worse than a red gaming that your sacking boards off on.

Another candidate for 'how the fuck does this pay to percentage' i reckon. Can't win when it's off its nut, can't win when it's not ready. The value goes where exactly?

dreadful barcrest 70's.

They should concentrate all their efforts into red's, which are oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh so much better

I got my biggest run off a £70'er on this the other day.

Jp ( shot )
Next board £10
next board £18 ish off cashpot
next board exchanged the mixed bars and it offered the 3 nudges for the safe £70.

Was probably the first and only person to push it.

It seems only right to post the shafting i had on this this morning.

Complete mind numbing stuff.

Flat flat flat.

Never again will i play this,my fault for getting a couple of cheap pots out it and the double jp lure last week.

For better or for worse though.I really cant be arsed to find out.

Now defaulting to 25p stake

As far as I can see, the only difference is lighting up 1-5 guaranteed repeats [LED] on occasions when you land on a cash repeat square.
Default stake is DIP (not DIL!) related AFAIK.

Yeah i noticed that too.To say its been critically acclaimed is in fact true.

The default to min stake must have been due to the fact the last person must have left it on that stake just before i got on.

Yeah wen u land on a cash shot it sometimes tells you on the screen how many times its going to repeat
