Dodgy machine settings.

On my way home tonight my eyes lit up when I spotted a CCP has been put in a pub near home. Obviously I ventured in smelling money but my god have they stiched me up.
1st I noticed that the % had been set to a shocking 70% even though the m/c next to it is 78%. Next thing to p*ss me off was that it's an automatic pay out on any win.
Cut a long story short even though I reached £15 on my 3rd feature It took the p*ss left right and centre. Took me nearly an hour and a half and £85 to finallyget the top which did £35 then took £25 to get back on to find it was dead.
Left it £75 down as there was no Notey on it.

I know what your saying but believe me I just felt that something wasn't right with it. Only had 1 Board that all red "X". Then would completelty Die again. Lost the gamble to the top about 4 times but each time I lost it, it would die again as if I'd taken the top. Then once I was £60 in it really started p*ssing me about by Shafting me with Safe Cash. Had 1 £10 and 3 or 4 £7 which just kept knocking it back. I just felt like I could of been there all night trying to get the top again.
I play 2 others reguarly and this felt nothing like them whatsoever.
I just decided with only £10 in change left and £30 in notes it was too big a risk so moved onto my 2 invincibles and clawed £50 back from them.
I'll try it again at the weekend to see if it was a 1 off.

i personally get rid of the safe board straight away, ie go higher than a 10 etc. ok if your high up then you take a risk, when it opens on say a £2 win just get rid.

works for me

Have been doing Eddie. But this 1 kept putting in the good Safe Cash Amounts When I was on the gamble to the top.
Went back to it last night. Backing after a couple of quid and looked a bit better than yesterday. Offering winfall on the 2nd feature. Started to Red "X" after about £15 in and gave a number runner but it just really nastily blocks the top. Cost about £30 to get a flat £35 but was still red "X" after so went for the next 1. Cost another £30 to get a flat £35 top again. Then just died again.
1 Red "X" 1 shot £2 repeater so I take the hidden Hi/Lo cash for ? £2
next feature take Hi/Lo again ? £2. Costs £5 to get back on and still looking dead. Take hi/lo cash ? £1. It's just downright crap. I played all my 3 CCP's last night.
1st Had the £105 off 3 staggered £35 tops for about £50 in
2nd Didn't look in a particularly brilliant mood and took £30 before I was upto the £10 mark. A couple more features and then got number runner which gambled upto the top for a flat £35 but then took a couple of Hi/Lo cash afterwards giving £5,£5 and £8 before getting £1 to show its dead. So made about a fiver off it.
Then theres this 1. Pure crap and left it with a free beer at best.

If you want dodgy settings go to the bowl at Star City Birmingham.
There are some machines there set at 25p play - £5 jackpot !

thats normal in my bowl, there is not one [out of about 15] machine thats not 25p a play and they are all £5 jp, used too do the £5 extreme in there a while back but would'nt touch anything else.

Like that in most bowling alleys now. Bit of a shitter at times - people claim they can roll for upwards of £40 but I've never seen anything like that myself (although I have on a 10p/£5 machine!)

had a £5 snake rattle n roll go daft after a jp, only cost a couple of quid for the first jp from superhold then it would do something along these lines

red eyes
red eyes
red eyes
all the lights on the cash stack lit up x 4
red eyes
red eyes
gamble straight up
all lights
red eyes
then a few more superholds

could'nt be emptied with it being 25p, but a very nice earner when it rolled.

If you are on a high win and have a big safe then use your shots and collect a low paying feature/cash value. If it is the gamble to the top then you are in a bit of a dilema, risk gambling and losing but setting machine back or winning and getting top earlier.

Good idea I'll remember that one.
This CCP i've been on about is an absolute shocker. The whole thing stinks of a fiddle. Tried it again over the weekend twice. Once friday night and then sunday dinner.
Friday was backing off just a fiver and cost nearly £60 for a flat £35 top. Rechased and again cost around £60 for a flat £35. It rarely Red "x"'s Only had 2 number runners off it.
Sunday just decided to play for Hi/Lo cash as I used to win alright amounts off them doing this a few months ago. But even this don't work. 80% gave £2 15% £3 and 5% £4-£5. Never gave more than £5 yet I've had plenty of £7 - £12 Hi/Lo cash on other CCP's. and I'm certain the reason for this is that it won't repeat anything because it pays out the win rather than bank it.
So in less than 1 week I've lost over £150 in it. Had 6 tops in total all doing £35 and every Hi/Lo cash i've taken has failed to give anything more than original win off the 1st credit.

Sounds like it is being done by someone else that is why it is flat when you go on it. The 70% don't help as it takes longer to build streak up. Probably being refilled daily to which is why it is backing most of the time.

The refill daily thing I reckon could be right however the machines that where in before defo weren't refill every day as they where rarely backing and I did alright off them. The big flaw for me in If someone else is doing it, is that right next door there's an Invincible and across the road there's another Invincible and a Lucky Devil which I'm doing regularly without much problem. Gonna give it a weeks break then try again to see if it's settled down.
