Empire Strikes Back

Ok, ok, played it out. Brand new 88% in an arcade.

Full and punted. £8 cashpot first board. Refused.

£90 in for Big Money forced by collecting all five starships. Flat £35.
That back in, with a few 'Don't forget your droid' as you get SAFE when exchanging from cash win.

Plus another £30 for red £35. Flat £35.

So £120 in for flat £35.

Back in and in £30, red £35 for flat £35.

bank at £40. By milking I got up to £90.

Definitely tighter, one last board and I had that wierd rip thing again. Nudges off outer, bonus, win spin, still had two nudges, gambled, won, exchanged, started board on +1 nudge. Jackpot.

£2 up, so £122 back.

The point is, three times jackpot and three times flat, in true Ob style. Actually four jackpots. That rip pot (which is free, but hey programmed in I'm sure).

Also when milking board cost seemed fair, but when forcing, it suddenly did a £30ish for a board, board.

Also tried it a bit later and £1 in on board. Offerred cash shots, £1/£2/£1+rep so seemed dead. Then into centre, £2, then 2ss one for super streak. Collected for £9. Where did that come from?

Cash droid is the [*] feature on the Vivids. Each *=50p.

I've got a few others as well. L8z though.

That £30 for the board whilst forcing sounds like it gone ito some sort of " non forcable pot " perharps ??

Its sounds like a keek machine ditto star wars.

Barcrests £35 machines are simply not good enough.

I demand better !!

Played 2 newly sited units today. 1's replaced a vortex and t'other a DOND. Anyway my question is this
1st machine didn't auto collect on red £35
2nd machine did

Any idea why theres 2 programs?? The rip was having non of it on both.

dont find that rip is common enough to merit playing the machine in the first place tbh.

It's a bit like the argument for playing a £70 light jailbirds for a setup when its cashpoting; could get raped. The amount of times on the latter I've been screwed when so close is sooooooo annoying :P

Tried that rip over and over and not had it once.

Was told they need to have quite of bit of life in for it to work and I've played a buzzing one that was having none of it.

It's a bit of a piss take anyway this m/c. Selector can give u nothing (or can take u to another bonus which gives u nothing), Stoppa normally gives nothing, as does boost.

And if u get in the middle I've never had the cash pot give more than about 6 quid.

Had loads of decent cashpots. Highest is £28. 1 Thing I haven't seen is Mega streak offered.

Also the 1st board after a top has always been £10 - £15 cashpot for me.Regardless of wether I've got a repeat or not.

Yeah lol @ music.

As for high cash pots god knows. Any I have 2 of these I always seem to make a small raise on in pubs with with good reds but still no high cashpots. Never.

I know ob wont like this :P
But if i include Can You Dig it too

I have played them out say 8 times and every time i have had £70
I have had it trail hold to within 2 squares of big money then roll in a 3 on the reels
Also lit all the diamonds for BM
Landed BM from Super Shot
And to cap it off on a CUDI yesterday the £35 shot red repeated
May stop there as i am well due a flat for sure
Most its cost is £52 i think
Best about £8

I would not go in a pub for one though which may sound strange as i have done so well
Only played them when out for a family lunch or with mates to watch a footy match

Btw i am in no way saying they are great
Going from what others have said they aren't at all
So that may be my last hit :P
