The official SMTM & Snakez hate thread

Revival.

It's not always about forcing, sometimes you're just playing for a bit of milky cash.

£2 in for a board. Pub. Landed on red bar stepper (£10 was there). Gave me boost onto apples from an 11. Lower 12.

£24 for the next board (bar one pointless three nudges for red boxes, kill you type entry). Nudges to £1.20. Dead first board gamble.

Long story short, £40ish in to get any action after red bar rip(ish) supposedly there from £2. Got back to £20 down, decided to play on as it gave trail holds >>>>>>>>> 12 nudges for a fiver, then £7, but another long board after the £7.

Cylindrical refill jobby, not full. Left £39 down, probably with minimal value in.

Can't be bothered to explain the ins and outs, but got caught on a rusty nail. Should have let the £10 go.....

Bit of a balls up, marred the day, but there you go.

How are people finding foricng these? I've got one which seems to behave itself and one which is an annoying canute. Don't really play them that much. Mixed features every time for graphic cash (annoying). Four colours on board jump off toggle onto super boost to snake to £3 sort of thing. Whoever said the four colour bonus was skill and to toggle it up, was talking pony.

Any emptiers?

I've got one that seems to behave itself too. I am yet to have a horror story on it (touch wood).

Yeah I had the same with the FNCs a while back. One would show and pretty much you were there. A timely rumber nunner and you'd see a £35/top no probs. The other was crazy. It's be proper showing, but suddenly it would be THE DEVIL'S OWN HI/LO gamble. Wouldn't let you see an exchange 6s 7s....2....>>>1 11<<<<<<<12. Barking mad.
It was so bad (it was actually in a Gala (84%+6%), now gone though) that it was a much better play just to take it down. It'd calm down a bit then and doing all the usual flava and you'd be ok.

Forced it myself once and it was £160 in for a long long battle for a £10er loss. Arbage from the off. Saw another GG comrade go for it and it was easy £200+ for a murdering. Crazy.

This S@L is the same. Tricky when it's there and ultra annoying at holding back on value when it isn't. Boost off red bar stepper for £10 being a classic example. Guess I got mugged off and played into it like a sucker.

A very difficult one to read this little bugger. Essentially, the usual red profile is there, but it's buried under that annoying game board, that randomly gives safe cash amounts, and if you test the water with a board and it fobs you off, leaves you with chagrin on your face and £2 in the bank.

That last snake is the git. If you can get past that, you should get a £70, by either a single top, or two consecutive boards that give £35. That's my experience anyway, others may vary!

As I say about difficulty to read, I don't really think there are many signs on this one, a'la other Reds. Feature seeds seem to mean nothing, slow bonea (lol) are very, very rare. A bit like Slurp My Tumescent Member, 3+ consecutive blue seven offerings seem to be the best (and possibly only!) sign.

I might play the one near me about once every two weeks, and haven't had terrible results recently. I think that if you are offered a quick bit of profit from your first board, take it and run. If not, well, we all know it can go one way or t'other...

I've got 3 on my run. Overall not as good as OAR,Vortex,Invincible but nowhere near as bad as SMTM or FNC.
If it reds it's there, the problem is this can be there and not red.
Worst session £150 for the top
Best session £20 for the £105 top
Not really one for your cautious player who'll only play if it shows signs but good for the mad player like me who forces it based on hopper balance.
Overall i'm well up on S&L but it does start to piss you off when that last snake keeps forcing Safe Cash on you.
1 thing i've noted, when you know it's lively (£15 nudges or above on the board) I don't sack off £3 or £4 wins as it's give me plenty of tops via the ladder 2 squares after £5 taking you upto supershooter then next gamble tops out.

Snake Your Looty (or along those lines)
Got it from mixed and it gave £22

JG · Post by JG » Mon May 05, 2008 12:45 am

Got it from red (prised) and reluctant to go to third floor.No other suitable options either. Luck of draw.

There's an emptier for these anyway that imvolves blagging toggle off four colours. Takes ages. Well there will be soon, I'm going to ask them to put it in. It's the future. Players design the emptiers, so the programmers don't have to. Only I know how to do this, my idea. You need to know the numbers as well. Revers blue 2 for green one, that kind of thing on certain squares, not when five away from red superhold for £25, don't be silly. Got to know the machine. Tha's my emptier. I made it up. I'll be doing taht soon.

absoluty scum of a machine they shouldent even be alowed on this earth

Yep. My only Snakez has recently got a lot dirtier. No parallels with FNC really. £2 in for a £7 board, five reds. Just kills it dead. Awful machine. Also had reds roll in for the dreary £5.
To get a £70 top, you have to pay for a £70 top. Where does all the value go?

redgamer · Post by **redgamer** » Fri May 16, 2008 1:01 am

got my vote on this h8 thread can we add in fun nudge crim in aswell

JG · Post by JG » Fri May 16, 2008 12:38 pm

Nope. I never had any major problems with FNC.

Mind you I think the problem with this snakez is that it has had its % drastically reduced. I suspect it has gone from 86%+6% to 78%+6%
People just suck out the value anyway now. Very little potential for profit.

redgamer · Post by **redgamer** » Fri May 16, 2008 10:01 pm

had 1 in dover the outher day 86% plus 6 it was passed the block 50ish in and no reapet stone dead

Had a sweet result on a SMTM yesterday. £4 win on the reels but only £6 off. Cost £7 to get me 1st megaspin whih spun in £10 directly on the reels and gambled straight up to the top

Only £35 but still showing and got a further 2 tops both doing only £35 plus a £10 nudge win and a £7 hot rocks for a total off about £40 in.
Sometimes the location can be a big factor, this is in a rockers type pub & I've won on it on each of my 3 visists so far however 2 minutes up the road is a trendy pub with a SMTM in that so far i've had a battle to come off even.

Good machine this, but it seems like it has to be off its tits to give a top more than £35, which is annoying..

One thing on this machine I dont quite understand. 'Steps Value' What the hell is it? I assume its something to do with moving up the board, but It doesn't seem to be logical?
