x factor the END ?

There is a definite trend with this ItBox update.

Care to enlighten me as to what the attention TIOLI has received is? I received advance warning to that effect, but on a quick no-lives 50p play yesterday, where I reached but did not complete the endgame run, I couldn't discern any difference at all.

NOT 100% but i think that there is no lives at all on the £1 or 50P GAMES
to all intent and purpose that is enough for me to make it virtually unwinnable

paranoia - playing a large number of games virtually every day Im amused at the conspiracy theories, the tightenning up of games 99% of the time people are seeing what they fear and not reality. Perhaps it depends how 'militant'(my ex personal trainers fav term) players are with games. Somebody like Suri is likely to overcome any nuances in programming easily (not even recognising them as the odd question cannot sabotage his winning) whilst the less proficient players fall by the wayside.

remember when updated on the itbox games are not in my experience reset on to jackpot mode. the status quo prior update is continued.

Interesting. A difficult theory to test though as most of the ones round here had long since been robbed of their lives. Next time I'm drinking in the Thicko Arms I'll test it.

The two games I've mentioned have fundamental win-stopping changes, anybody unable to see them probably needs to consult their 'personal trainer'.

TIOLI has definitely been doctored. last time i played, on tuesday, i ventured a quid into 4 "new ones" and each time was thwarted within the first few questions with a "double booby", i should imagine, with no life to start, this renders the game practically illegal??

Is anyone going to complain?

I certainly don't enjoy it up me when i've done nothing wrong!!

I plugged three quid into a previously-done TIOLI £1 play this lunchtime and got double-boobied twice, once on the first pick. On the third time I got a question wrong early doors and thus beat the double-booby. I agree this looks of questionable legality, but am not sure I can be bothered to complain. Fundamentally I wasn't playing many "done" TIOLIs so it's not going to cost me very much. But they should have withdrawn TIOLI rather than doctor it in this underhand way.
