Had a complete prise in on an old 25p/£25 OAR here today.
I'd rolled it for £25, £25 then the obligatory £10 afterboard. I had £10 on the reels, so changed back to normal spins to get rid. Anyway it held twice so i put in another quid. It went all the way up to skill, which i hit on 11 nudges on a 1. Only £3 there and mixed boxes, not great. Went higher on the 1 and got a green 10. Slow bonus, so i picked respin. To my surprise, i held the 2 green boxes and hoped for the 3rd, which it gave. I then thought it would bounce off to win series, but nope, gave the slowest SnS for a 3rd easy £25. Didn't try anything else, but it was a great steal!
On a roll (er again sorry)
I've had an absolutely cracking result on a £35 OAR this evening.
It was offering green hiddens and £10 from the outset - and started to show the usual sequence of progressive signs:
- Regularly giving 12 nudges for £7
- Giving that setup with a red and a blue seven on the winline, where you're sure it must be a £15 win but it nudges the red bars down
- Regular slowdown bonuses in high-up positions
After £20 in, it offered the £15 win for the first time. And probably another 4 times before my 40th pound coin had gone in. But then it stopped progressing. It didn't win the gamble to £25, and for another £20 or so it strangely stopped redding and looked totally disinterested in offering me any wins or board play at all...
But then it suddenly gave 12 nudges with the red 7s only 5 nudges away - a bit obvious it was happy now - and the top went for £70. Next press of the 50p play button, Mega Spin, 1 nudge.
AGB1 board - looked very innocuous - but the blue sevens were only 7 nudges away. A couple of 10s and 3s, then a gamble won going higher than a 5, then lower than an 8 and the £15 was there. Autonudge, slowdown bonus on a 2 - No lose to £25 and higher than a 1 for what I thought was a right nice bonus £35. Except that it repeated, and all of a sudden I was £64 in for £146 out (including sacked off safe boards).
About bloody time I had a result on this machine

[quote="Matt Vinyl"]Guys, I don't know what I'm doing differently, perhaps I'm experiencing the luck of the devils, but I've 'never' had to put a three-figure sum into a Red to achieve a top. Surely after the first £5 / £10 you'd call it a day if it was not playing ball?
I do know about the dead spells (which I posted elsewhere) but if you are getting boards and are getting knocked off at anything under a fiver, well, I know what I'd do... ]
Matt when I played that OAR £35 you saw with your own eyes it cost over £100, there you go! Admittedly it was miles off red, no doubt that barman regularly plays it out, but it wasn't as if it were dead to start, wasn't killing £5-7 etc.
Had absolutely loads of reds cost over £100 for a top, even ones that were red to start! Mostly new ones tbh, but stack attack is in there, invincible a few times, OAR/moley, they all do it, frankly I find it incredibly lucky you'd never have this! It doesn't matter whether they are ready or not, they still do this!
Although to be fair, alot of the time they do cost £100+ from red, you dont end up losing ( or losing much ) anyhow on £35jp

True - that fella (who has since gotten the bullet for various fruit-related incidents!) did lead me along a few times. Saying that it 'hadn't paid for ages' even though it was a good £80 off. 
I'll still say though, that I've not had to put a £100 in to get a return from a Red 'yet'. The flip side of this though, is that I've lost countless fivers / tenners trying Reds to see how they are. I think the most (recently) that has gone in for me to get a £105 top, was on a Vortex (not the Gravesend one) where £80 went down the back beforehand.

Good shot mate, love getting this bonus. Did the end give you £40? If so hope you ran for the hills.mooster wrote:Playing a £35 OAR on 50p MS today - had a £25 off nudges, which I collected... then got a £2 nudge win after a few gambles, had super bonus - offered "fast skill" - got Lucky Streak, another £40.

I've not had a dodgy top at all on the £35ers? I hadn't really thought about it until I saw the above post. Is it more common for others?
I'm sure that the dodgy-amount tops were more frequent on the fruit-step style of machines (I've only ever had the luxury of playing £25 versions of these - companies: site some £35 versions in Gravesend!!!).
I'd say for £35ers, £70 has been the most frequent top amount, with £35s next and £105s after. Anyone had a £140?

Yep I've had this... sometimes it gets itself into a hole where it cant get to the exact multiple of £35 - once I had it get to £34 - happy days as I knew it had to then repeat, and it did for the full £85.Mattb wrote:I had a £74 top on FNC a little while back. The second £25 decided to go for £24 for some reason??!
Another odd one is on ziggy with etc. the mega streak can go for £24, has anyone else had this little doozy?!

Don't think I've had the first MS go for £24, if that's what you mean, but have had £49 a few times, which is strange. Also, on these, don't you just hate it when you 'know' that it's going to stop rolling when it gets to the additional £5 / £10 on MS. 
"And do you ever contradict yourself, Minister?" "Well, yes and no..."
yep, its worse with CADD, once it reaches a multiple of £5, your finished!
if you're going to get a big streak on those ziggy etc. on MS, you know about it quickly, as it throws in high wins ( ie melons/red 7/ loads of grapes), if it doesnt do this, and just dicks about with cherries and lemons its a shit MS
