Hey I know this can be pants at the best of times but if its ready enough its not that bad......
Anyway, is anyone aware of a new chip for these? The last two times I've played what was quite a reliable one and seemingly ok to chase, its been so bad that I'm convinced its been upgraded to the most dirty disgusting vile putrid pile of plop I have ever seen.
2 big losses (one rather large).
Big spin in wins disappearing for £50+ and consistent £10-£20 in credits without the reels moving even when £200+ in?? Come on......
Anyone else???????
Snakes New Chip?

I've not (thankfully) had the misfortune of encountering any SnLs recently. There was only ever two in my vicinity, and after playing both of them once, I left them well alone.
I'm not under the impression that Red are in the business of chipping their machines often - certainly not in the way that BFM seem to. Red seem to have quite a solid release 'success rate'. OK, I know there were a few 'Umpire Tee Urghs' on a couple of their early releases. But when, in the last two years have we ever talked about the possibility of a Red empty?
Anyway, I digress.
Um, how was it playing from the off? I realise that at £200 in 99%+ of Reds should be ready to dump on you, but we've all had our doubts about this one and SMTM, have we not?

"And do you ever contradict yourself, Minister?" "Well, yes and no..."
Oh god yeah, I've never liked this one at all but at the end of the day if its ready then I will get involved. Incidentally I would put SMTM way, way ahead of this.
Anyway, before we played it some one else was recycling but only collecting the half decent wins, anyway, after about £40 in(at a guess) he walked with a tenner. It was Sunday morning, so after a busy sat night, we gave it a go, sure enough it was £10 off.
After about £30 in(which only gave a few boards I might add), we got the £15 spin in, got burnt with no safe win), now despite this not being the best red, once it gets to this mode ala SMTM, you would expect to see the blue sevens every 2 - 3 spins. £50 in and red sevens are then span in. So £50 in for red sevens, we are thinking a small bit of profit maybe £15-£30 depending on top(s). At this point all boards were red, a rare occurence on snakes. Cut a long story short, it tosok £110 to go in and went flat. Not the end of the world we are thinking, should be plenty more in this one. £25 of that back and another top which went flat. So £110 for £45 in bank, still thinking there was more value the next spin offered blue sevens(still ok we both agree to plough on), big mistake. All that back plus another £90 for another top. FLAT. Still thinking a nice big red dump is round the corner........
That flat top back plus another £30 for another FLAT top. So now £230 in for a £35 bank we start to worry. However still confident of a nice buzzer coming soon.
Cutting an already long story short we end up £255 in for about £110 back a nasty £145(ish) cant remember the exact stats to the penny down.
Yes this can happen on almost any red so I didn't read to much into it, but the main points were the ones in my first post. This on at least 15 occasions must have gone £10-£20 without spinning the reels, even on this, once it gets the old blue sevens/red sevens every other spin stage is normally ok. But numerous times it offered these wins and then you never saw another for about £40+. At least mummy, when it gets to this stage is pretty consistent, and although a pain to get a top so is snakes..
Its almost like its got a bit of the newer reds in where such high spin-in wins have been almost lost apart from the odd one or two.
We tried it again a few days later just on a blind chase, it was about 23 off and just out of curiosity I thought I'd see if it was as bad again. It was exactly the same, only this time we learnt from before and took a £50 hit on it. I'll give it one more chance before I label it with the famous 'never playing it again' tag.

Just face it, snakez is probably reds worst machine ever made. Pure filth nearly every time you play it. I thought i'd found a revised program snakez, was just so bizarre. Full and all red 9/10 boards, but no decent nudge wins offered. I had to prise my top in with some ladders and medium wins etc. Ended up £110 in for £70....a medium hit. Then it offered mixed hiddens and gave me the feature where you select a chunk up of coins, which paid £30! What the hell?
See my £300 in post for ultimate involvement in this shit heap. Don't even bother with them now, just not worth the effort.

You may well be right there Jeff.
This is in a local Shoopleyboatleys on 90% payout. It's ok. My best is £3-£5 in for a freaky toggle £105.
At worst I've done about £40, paying loads for the first board and trying to scrape back value which wasn't actually there as it had been semi blagged as much as this can be blagged.
Red boxes. Shake yer looty. £3.50. Cheers.
Doesn't show value as some other Reds. Other parts reasonably honest. Big safe cashes is your worry. I find the 'strike points' of £10+ on mega/50 come in too rare to make that a valid point of attack.
Can get you involved, nudge in, bonus, upgrade, biggish safe. Stuffed.
90% is ok, but I can see how this can be a fookin' shit in a pub. Lousy shit pub shit pub shit -ve 10,000,000% payouts +6% and you have a recipe for disaster.
To be honest, being there, just means a slightly cheaper force. This hides repeat value. I usually milk.
Rather awkward.

It's amazing how peoples opinions can differ. I quite liked them. Not seen 1 for a few months now. I've had 4 different m/c's1st one was steady for £70's but I did witness 1 nightmare, similar to PMK's several flat tops.
2nd one hit n miss had some cheap £70's and some drawn out flat tops. Had my worst result on this one as I was £150 in for my 1st top. managed 4 flat tops to keep my loss down to 50ish
3rd was huge!! several £105 tops (1 off just £14). this one never seemed to go flat & didn't block the top much either.
4th the worst of them all, never won but never really lost either, always a £70-£100 battle to get £70-£100 back
Overall I've been stung way more on SMTM's so I'd have it above SMTM & I would go out my way to play it.

Too right, I've always preferred SMTM to SnL.gambogaz1 wrote:
I have a rogue SnL near me I don't bother with anymore. Too much Mega Spin tumbleweed then when you get a spin it's a 1 most of the time. Big wins are just not there off nudges. Too many flat tops followed by dead dead dead.
Sad really that I have an Invincible that plays up as well so I leave them both alone.
