Have you ever seen a punter miss an IM board?
I saw a guy in my local 'Spoons get 4 red phones on one of the double-DOND machines. I was going back to my table with the drinks I've bought and didn't think any more of it. A few minutes later, I heard the clattering of about 10 coins from a payout. Lo and behold, it was from the machine that gave IM. The punter then walked back to his group of mates, so it wasn't an IOU or anything like that. He may have recycled, but I'm sure that he genuinely missed an IM and walked away with just £10!!

"I think you're going to go away with a lot of money."
My mate was playing big cheese 25jp and got the 3rd IM board and for some reason started hitting start very fast and his hand slipped and he pressed collect for 4 as for some reason it was next to start on that machine. I pressed exchange by accident on Cracker instead of collect on Red lucky numbers once
I once collected a shit feature instead of mega streak on a hilo silver, did'nt care at the time because i was very drunk after lots of pints, but was wounded the next day, it was a next credit too which made it worse! ops:
I once saw someone miss spicey eyes (KK) its fairly subtle so they could be forgiven, you've also got your lord of the rings, snake rattle which could easily be missed, then theres your big cheese, high flyers, top dogs which should'nt be missed but probably have by some one somewhere.
Surely no one has missed cashino? Iiiiiiiiinnnnnnvvvvvinnnnnncibbbble.

Not an IM but I pressed the wrong button on a Who Wants to be a Millionhare and collected peanuts instead of the JP. I also cocked up on a Devil of a Deal (vivid Rat Pack clone) - it started the game on Kings with a 1 and instead of me collecting and going higher for the JP, I just pressed higher!!!

First board I ever had on a Road to Riches was an Icon board! So naturally I didn't particularly want to risk the dodgy numbers, so I just took a lower down win! I just thought the machine always gave you all the icons because that's how it worked!
It came back next board though for once.
Never seen anyone miss an IM but I've seen a couple people deal early when they had 70, and some people collect cash when they had an extra life and were on the super trail!

lol easily done especially if you dont play hi low silvers often.

Seen several punters miss the Barcrest logo 'blinking' on YDD and Lucky Strike - easily done - and also a foreign chap who didn't spot the pulsing Throw a Wobbler logo. Seen the red logo on The Great Escape missed (not deliberately before you ask).
Saw one guy collect £5 on a silent IM board on Poker Face - again easily done I suppose if you don't know about it. Hopped on and it went in very quickly.
Perhaps the most amusing thing I've seen - as I've said on here before - is the guy who announced to an arcade that he had an IM board on the B3 Rainbow Riches Pots of Gold, where the outer lights on the Triple 7 cabinet light up red when you get Leps/Wells, the look on his face when the wheel spun to 'Collect' with him on £15 was priceless

This machine may at times offer a choice where the player has every chance of bankruptcy
