Biggest F*ck-up

Post by theoak »

Sure it's been mentioned on here before, but I'm new to here-deal with it.

Any cock-ups that haunt you from your early days?

I missed a third hold on melons on red hot knights at a time when that really meant something! I also remember having to ask someone what a flashing barcrest man meant after nudges on arabian nights :o ops: ok, not a fuck-up, but a nasty memory non the less!

Hmm - not sure really. I've had the usual not thinking when using nudges and nudged in a win lower than the one available and its auto collected :o ops:

Also had one on a club machine the other day where I got 8 cash shots. The first cash shot hit a fiver and I took it in case it ende dup giving me about a quid - what I didn't realise was that there were less than 7 values left below the five - so even if the next six shots had all been lower than 5, I would have knocked out all the values and the last shot would have had to have been higher!

A couple of times when pissed on machines where there is a separate button to collect nudges I have gone and pressed the normal collect button - giving me the option usually of the lowest feature or £1.20 or something :roll:

Missed a £250 jackie on some pick a nudge win type feature on a clubber. Pressed the wrong button and it went on the next mediocre win before I could recover.

And I ploughed all the mediocre win + more in but never got it back :(

When I was about 13, playing a nudge double up deluxe (like you do ;) ), melons on the bottom line, nudges, 4 of. Reel 1 up, reel 2 up reel 3, hang on, bollocks :D IIRC, the gamble went down too.

Plenty of things...

Trying to set reel magic up on PCB and nudging cherries/other shocking win in.

Being too eager playing a red so i smack the collect button on a bonus even though cancel lit for a slow bonus, the boost i got put me on 6, then proceeds to take another £13 for a board that killed me second gamble IIRC.

Missing a JP on 5p/£5 MPU4 crystal maze with some skill match type feature.

Which after that, proceeded to take £14 for a board... which is 280 spins on reel play, and anyone that remembers the machine knows that reel play wasn't fast anyway. I went from eager, to annoyed, to shocked, then to in awe.

Ouch!! :(

The question has to be asked though - if you missed it, how do you know you missed it?
This machine may at times offer a choice where the player has every chance of bankruptcy

Yeah, i too have been victim to 'accidental win-nudging' (yes, i have just made that up). ANd even that pressing the wrong button, did it on legionnaire pressing collect instead of the nudge button at the top of the machine (whop the fuck put it there anyway?!)

Presume that they found out afterwards that a flashing psycho cash beast logo meant invincible.

Pressed 'collect' on a Hi/Lo Karate on 99 nudges for a choice of two half full stacks or walking after a 'free' top on Flash Cash. hmmm no wonder there was a guy gagging to get on it as soon as i finshed up :o ops:
Too many other cock-ups to remember, just try to forget them :x

I skill-stopped to Game Over on Powerball once, and another time for some stupid reason I went higher than an 11 on Casino Crazy.
