played one "seriously" twice now... and i think its shit

first time, 70 in for 72 out...

second time 100/82 in for 115/97 out (two pots a random £15 on a "6" and 2/3 good features, wasnt playing like it was going up again so started collecting stuff (i still had about £18 credit from notes id put in))



im not impressed in the slightest, both times i was offered £15 early on, and took it for a force, but it can consistently avoid giving you boards and high win offers, you have to sack off every board that goes "safe" as if it offers the £4 or £5 you lose regardless which number you are on...

i can see the potential to lose a lot of money from this,
also i can see the potential to win quite a bit,

there are a lot of people who have cottoned on to the "red features mean its ready" so maybe a few people without the bankroll to actually hit the machine will run out of money whilst playing it...

ill have a few quid in passing, if theres one local, but im not ever going to play this away from home with no idea of its history...

and as said above, this machine eats money...

dont even attempt it if you dont have about £300 on you, and reserves available from tha bank!!!

id always make sure the note acceptor is working properly too, cause if you get stuck on this with no change and a fucked notey, they aint gonna give you £150 worth of coins across the bar in many places...


maybe this is the end for red, maybe its just a quick reminder for us that they definitely dont build the machines for us to play and have an advantage... cant wait to see a stepper on this software... now that'd be wank!

Everybody were saying Show Me the Money was bad when first released.
They aren't too bad now they have "settled down". Hopefully, this may go the same way.

yeh I've had similar losses myself on these, its a bit wank really, hard to get the tops even when there, poor streaks, blag reds, nothing really good to say about it.

Had a similar one on a noteempole, which addmitedly has usually been ok, but did £220 for a top, full and red nearly every board offering £15 straight away, about 15 losses from super notes - mega notes. Walked away about a ton down on that.

New reds are really hit and miss tbh, the other day I put £3 in cash or bust and got a £105 top, but other days I'll have a nightmare on it.

Had the same on a Note'em today ob....£7 and £10 nudge wins first 2 boards, £10er wins to £15 and loses. Got £125 into in for £35/£35/£70 spread out for a £40 loss. Very hit and miss, though i'd still go in for one.

Yeah this is really poor imo
In fact it is probably worse than SMTM

Played one last week
£15 ready and ARB1 on 1 nudge etc etc and offering the good ones by the way

Cost £80 for top does £35
It then cost around another £30 to get to £35 on on 11
It lost and then no win for a good £60 was higher than £5
In the end it went up for a £70 but i had put a lot more in
Then dead

Just wish i had took that £35 and checked the next board or so
Ended up doing this on Mummys a few times and it would still be red and you came off not too bad
But on an 11 i am sure we would all be going for it
If that £35 win would have took me level i would have taken it

Another things these do (and so do COB's) is constantly spin in low wins with no potential.

i.e. when Vortex is ready it spins in blue sevens regularly but not this - constantly low starting. I know safe cash is rarer then SMTM but it's just so hard to get anywhere near £15 then like I said it might win the gamble then leave u on £25 on say a 6.

Just pure shite.

on mega spin.....

blue, blue spin blank

blue, blue, red, blue, red, red, spin blank

spin blank red, red, blue, blue, red, blue, red, blue, red, red, red......

FEATURE ENTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chucks in the mandatory 1 for a nudge, and the nearest win? Well I live nearer, and I was in lancaster services. Or was it keele or kuntsford? (I reside in the southwest). 6 for £1.60. here goes...........
The gamble prompty loses, then i'm invited to repeat the same sorry process. I'll pass on that thanks. A mate of mine took one on after a spot of pub sharking and it was repeatedly going to £15. He still contrived to lose over 100 in it. Given the state this was in I could have stuck a nought on the end.

A great big steaming dogshit of a game, make smtm look like lock and load.

None left here now, but played one away last night which was pleasant enough again, no horror stories for me yet (!). Only had one thumping on a new red thus far.....£230 into COB for £110 back. Ouch. :?

I've got one of these that seems reasonable, usually good for 30+ profit once a week. All the others i've had the misfortune of playing are pure FILTH. Not many about, thankfully..

These can be hit and miss at times as can most reds, even when going can take the piss but tell me a red that doesn't. They have moved the goal posts a bit with their profile but once sussed they are not bad at all.

True but I've not seen a red in a while that will cost about £50 - £60 for a flat £35 then take it all back and more and do it again.

And again, and again. Regularly!

Try to think of a red that has annoyed me more than this. I'd have to go back to Stack Attacks (although I know some people on here loved em) and maybe Kings Ransom but these weren't big losses more about the time they took when buzzing from the start.

Although I've just thought of something else - Sub Zero giving big safe cash that repeated. Had a few £15's repeat. Not good.
