What do you mean by the term 'but then backed up'? and how do you know it backed up?

Cheers!

a drunk way of saying that it started backing.. Think I stuck a little more than £15 in, after board went game over.. so left it there

Got the 9 blasts for jp off £12 in last night followed by im red series for £40

Must say though its rare for me to find one thats playing well.

I have seen one £111 off and still give the jp off superhold as well.

Not strange at all really. I still think people read far too much into hopper balances. I dont even have a key any more, and haven't keyed a machine in ages, yet still make a decent enough wedge. IMO it can put you in the wrong mindset about the machine a lot of the time, so i just don't bother.

Played this finally for the first time yesterday. £25 in, £71 out, which was nice!

First board I landed on a bonus, and hi-lo'd up to the 'all red' bonus (can't remember the name). Took this, then landed on a red shot with a 2. The first shot gave me 8 win spins, went higher than the two, Red Series - £38!

Then spent about £7 for the next board took £4+rpt which went for £8.

Next few boards I got killed off, then another board came in where I could hi-lo to that red bonus again - exactly the same thing happened, 8 winspins, then Red Series - £25 only, but hey, not complaining.

Left after that and proceeded to watch some guy do his nut on the Space Raiders next to it. Bashing and thumping the machine etc...!

Anyway, my view on TAW - good machine by the 'Cresters!

:)

They do streak well. Someone may have taken a Red Series and walked away. In fact, when it's around £40-£25 off you've a reasonable chance of picking up the middle of the streak. But, of course, someone may have just used it for change of a twenty or two.

all I can say is bastard!! Someone got there before me..

Put around £50 into TAW and still no backing, therefore it was raped. I managed to get £40 (superhold JP plus extras) gonna have to wait a while before playing this again

quite gutted.

Found this machine backing just two days after a £90 drop out! got the Blue/Green/yellow/Red sequence, but nothing happened after that! £35 went in before I luckily got IM.. next board after that was dead..I was up, but damn.. last time I got the streak sequence I got £80+ out of it! nothing this time round

I'm thinking that when that happens there might be more value in taking yellow series, especially as there's no guarantee the red series will come.
