GATW advice on LP DOND

Mr Move It · Post by **Mr Move It** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 7:29 pm

I was on my local "Let's Play", the Psycho Cash Beast-hybrid machine. After £18 in and a few features, it gave me a GATW during mid-game not at the beginning. It went like this:

1. Feature started with 2 levels open and a little bit of red on those 2 levels.

2. The game promptly opened level 3 and cash or bust was advised to be £15. Superstreak tile was highlighted.

3. Level 4 opens and the phones became active. Megastreak (white) was instantly highlighted on my next shot. I dared not shoot any more.

4. The 3 phones went red after a few more presses.

5. The cash ladder hits £70 but it appears that there was nothing else constructive that I could do other than take the MS on level 4. MS was still highlighted and white and I couldn't see how to turn it red.

6. I collected MS and it went for a flat £70. I'm still pleased though because I've been doing unusually well on the AWPs this year so far. (probably jinxed it now)

Was collecting MS the right thing to do at that point of time? Obviously taking the phones wasn't viable because there is no MS box.

Thanks :-)

Red MS and normal MS will pay the same to reach the desired percentage payout but people pyschollogically go for the red because it is a little more difficult to get. I don't take them shots at all really because you usually sense something like GATW coming in them situations. My verdict is that you haven't lost out on any money anyway mate!

Oh, and you done the right thing too!

Wicked, thanks Stevie :-)

Yeah, when I was going around the board while invincible, it was just collecting more shots. Since I kept MS selected and there were no other avenues to it, I finally concluded the game there.

To turn it red you need to land on extra level, once all levels are active it'll turn level 1 red then level 2 and so on

Yep was going to say the same....if every level is open, landing on the extra level square again firstly changes level 1 all red. Another hi/lo or land on that square again and level 2 goes red, and so on. Pretty sure it would have given you the same outcome - ie £70 MS.

as it didnt repeat at all then this is probably right (red=no difference)

some machines on a "red" top, it means the machine has to repeat in jackpot amounts (for the first repeat on £70's)

meaning, a normal top can do £70 then £15 or any random amount, but a red top has to do £70 then another £70

used to be on £25's and £35's meaning £25,£50 or £75 and £35,£70 or £105 respectively

on most machines red feature on the top means feck all

I find these gash most of the time. Been a load of £8-£10 board costs for £2/£3 block every time. Yawn.

These are awesome as long as you find them in the right place/mood. The worst one I've played was in a spoons - presumably because lots of people who knew what they were doing on them kept leaving it dead.

More common than the machine with deal or bust.
