So you can make £100+ on one can you?

Sorry just I dont really play £5 JP m/c's. However I could see the appeal at a bowling alley etc.

Invincible on £5 JP is an absolute bastard of a machine, compared to the glorious £35 version.

Ok well maybe i said that a bit wrong, but if a £5 reds is full i will always give it a board, you can quite easily make £30 odd on one when its red.

On a roll is a great red mate. If you have toggle climb green, get to a 5er and then leave it, there i salways a chance it will go up on its own. Red toggle climb to 10 and do the same.. basics....

It is a pleasant machine, you're right. I'm not gonna force it, i can't afford to. But it's usually good fun for an hour or so with a couple of mates and about £20. I reckon the +6% helps, cos i don't think anybody else plays it on 50p.

I'll try leaving it the next time then, see what happens. How long does it take to time out?

Not long, and you just have to force if its through a fiver. I'd say these generally take the piss less than any other red for chasing and streak potential. Such a good machine to chase.

Pleasantly just had one of these re-appear in a local haunt, £35 +6%

It's been there for three weeks, and each Friday within those three weeks, I've had £70, £70 and £95, which came to a net profit of £155!

Also had my first experience of a Piggy Bank, which went for a cool £80 the first day it was installed (£70 top followed by a £10 'Hoggle Climb'?) The feature selection 'tail' is a bit different, as with most Reds, when you gamble the features, the minute you've pressed the gamble feature button, you have a 'feel' as to where it will land, but this one, you don't!

Piggy bank is a very good m/c
Quite rare too i have none left
I always did well from this m/c

Jiggy Bank!!!

Sorry.

MrRed: ah, good stuff! Normal Red force affair, I take it? I played it the same as I'd play an OAR. Seemed pleasant enough.

It's actually more of a FNC clone i'd say, but they are more or less all variations on the same job. Standard rules apply. As MrRed says, its a rare machine, not many cropped up despite it passing test.

For some reason, Piggy Bank seems to be a hit on station platforms. It seems almost blasphemous to stick such an excellent machine in such dour locations.

I'd have to say that I don't really 'feel' the profile of FNC with Piggy Bank - let's face it, PB is essentially one of the old school - it reds up reliably, it deals in £35 tops, and it doesn't constantly activate the Safe Cash, which FNC seems to enjoy doing. Mega Spins help avoid the blasted Safe Cash.

It's a shame they weren't released en mass.

Of course it is. Ignore me, i'm getting my brain into a twist here. It's not FNC at all
