Dont know what type of tioli machine it is but sometimes when get a game over, it says the show must go on, and I get to stay on the board, is that a sign for anything, or just a lucky occurence every now and then?

Another thing on the same machine..
I had 1 bar, 2 bar, 3 bar on the winline... All lights was flashing for hold.. And was reading about barcodes etc, and pressing buttons in certain combination for a hidden feature.. Do ya hold them all and spin for the feature, or just hit them and get the "barcode hidden feature?" without having to spin?

Nah, what you do (if barcodes haven't changed since the Austin Powers days), is press the 3 reels in a certain order.
123
231
312
132
213
321
So that's 6 permutations. Each permutation gives you one of 6 hidden feature. Barcodes aren't universal across Barcrest machines as the features offered vary, so it's a matter of knowing and then remembering what each sequence gives you for the different machines that you play. I did know them once for Austin Powers but I've forgotten now. Also, not every Barcrest has a barcode.
The Scorpion-based machines (Mazooma & Bellfruit) tend to have certain symbols on a red background instead of black. Match red-red-red to get their version of the barcode. Again, you'll get 1 of 6 features but the choice tends to be predetermined by the machine. Get lucky and you'll get a slowed down stopper and you can pick whatever you think is best out of the 6.

Sorry to break the to you but not all machines have bar codes, I'm pretty sure tioli don't.

I noticed mate. I was just thinking he needed all the support he can get for the answer lol. Since I have been on this forum you seem to be a very good poster. You are only a casual and you know boat loads of stuff. It must be a very good hobby of yours. I enjoy reading your posts there is not many casual's to start with never mind ones to your knowledge

"SHOW MUST GO ON" is one of the most annoying things on a TIOLI. Just kill me ffs!

The flooker thing was good for a while, but it got to the point were every pub you walked in their was a rookie forcing them and you could hear him saying to his mate "did it flooker, did it flooker, lol". Very boring and predictable barcrests aren't they!

Thanks Titchno :-)
Yes, I only play AWPs for about an hour or 90 minutes per week, but I have remained consistently interested since late 2001. I don't lose lots either - a couple of hundred per year and it keeps me interested in playing.

Ahh okies, and whats it mean when the hold buttons sometime flash faster than normal? Normally theres not anything decent on the win line worth holding (imo) when they flash fast.. :S
