vortex.....

[wildcat]

have had this pop up in one of my locals, i played it somewhere else the start of the year, but cant remember much about it, has any one got a spare few minutes to give us info on what features are what and worth taking? either by reply or pm. thanks in advance.

there are lots of threads on this mate, one is about 10 pages long, normal red rules apply on this one.

[Alpine021]

Just a quick bit of advice mate no features are that good really unless in red and if it's hitting red features when most are blue then it may well have just been done..... (i.e. a bit of afterplay)

[EasyEasy]

Vortex is a top red.

[Matt Vinyl]

Yeah, just play it out if you're getting past £5. You 'may' be unlucky once or twice and catch the tail end of someone else's streak, but that's the way life is.

Watch out for the monster block from SS to MS though, this can be the difference between a big profit and a loss...

Just out of interest, are 'any' of the red features guaranteed over a tenner? Not that I've bothered taking many of them (except when on a wind down).

[EasyEasy]

SS block isnt as bad as COB, mega spin option makes this alot better than invincble imo

can't think of a single feature that i've had over a £10er on, storm chaser red (find the pea) could i suppose, but i find this gets offered mid force, same with red reel strike if the red 7's in the window, i hit £10 on down pour blue (drop zone) on Saturday, it was after a £70 top and took my profit too £62

i love this red but only know 2 near me

[Matt Vinyl]

I agree with what you're saying about the reds being offered mid-force, which renders them useless. As for COB, sadly, I've not played one / seen one yet (as you must be bored of me saying now, lol!)

I had three of these up until recently, now they've ALL gone.

Nothing like variety, eh? Cheers!

I would assume frostbite can go over a tenner if its through the block, but at that ready it'd be tops ready soon after. None of the others would go past.

yeah ive gone through the threads here and found some info helpful, (got eyestrain off that one!! lol), out of the main features , which would you say is the most profitable, i remember taking red isobar and it giving red bars for a tenner i think, (or was it 7?) and i think i remember stormforce hidden was good too, is my memory serving me correct?

[Matt Vinyl]

Red bars are £7, which is the most you can win on Isobars.

I think Storm Force is the hidden that 'can' give you JP if the number in the middle of the number reel (hidden behind the 'slats') is right. But, it can be a bummer to get:

Mixed Hidden Icons: Not much chance of it hitting it

Green Hidden Icons: Skill selection will usually 'jump' off of it.

Red Hidden Icons: Slow skill selection will often not offer it!

So you're trumped most of the time...

[Scott]

I would probably consider whirlwind red to be the best feature, but again usually offered mid force.

[Matt Vinyl]

What does that feature do Eddie? I don't think I've ever taken it, lol. I guess it's a pseudonym for one of these:

Star Prize / Hidden Riches
Find The Pea

As they tended to be the 'higher paying' features on the other machines.

[Scott]

I've took it on blue and it lines all the wins up and spins round (in a blur) and what you stop it on you get, then it says step/stop.


so on red i would assume its slow, so you hit the £10 and again get a chance to step/stop, never took it on red myself, and i only find its offered mid flow.

[Mattb]

Yeah its the same as win steppa on pulsation. Star choice is frost bite. Notation is indeed Storm Force, but rarely gives it unless its a tenner.
