Â£5 jackpot on Bullseye!

Am I the first to get it? It was by fluke - I can't bear to try and hit targets on the end game so I now just look away...and yesterday I got it IN ONE! (as they say...)

ops:
I'm sure I'm not the first though...

UP claims to have had a few, although I never have. Does the endgame end when you get £5 or did you have other arrers to throw?

I've had about 4 or 5 whilst on my brief diverts away from my normal game, all of these were in the "right" kind of pub though

Had it twice. Just seems to jump onto it when it's ready. No skill involved. I was aiming for the 1pound, and it decided to land on the bullseye.

I didn't look...just took the money and got out of the game. I was already a fair few quid up as well! Needless to say this wasn't on an itbox...

I've also had a lucky pot on these, same as the others.....wasn't really going for it but got given it anyway. I just try and hit £2 every time now as it never seems to want to pay more than this!

I hit the £5 on the machine in the Innkeeper's Lodge in Redhill. 50p in for a quick shot of Bully before work one morning, I answered one question to get on the prize board and hit £5 with my second dart.

That's the only time, though. :x

Surely the jackpot is more than £5?

Isn't £5 the maximum available from one dart?

yep in theory you could hit all of the reds which I guess must add up to £20.

I am sure that when this first appeared I would sometimes get say £4 and £2 in the same go.

Takes a brave man to play on though after hitting the £5 first dart.

Nothing more irrritating than inadvertently potting the same bed with your next one (and although this seems unlikely can happen unless you aim for the complete opposite side of the board- which doesnt help if you have hit the middle) and then crapping out on the question.

I'd only continue playing if I had a reveal answer left

I agree with rogerthymes.

Came away with £6 once, and might have come away with more if I knew that hitting the £4 twice meant a cancellation of the original £4, rather than making it £8

In that game, you get nothing for two in a bed.
