You would think that the "HOT HOT HOT" feature entry is an IM for all the fuss it makes, but it's not (unless you get the "?" first spin).

How bout some WD40 on the reels? Might do the trick.

There are two IM types.

One where the JTRAR name at the top of the cash stack flashes, but so far as I remember, not the name at the top of the machine.

The second is a hidden IM (or almost). If you land on a "?" on your first go (2 or 11 from memory) you should survive and if you keep playing it will let you get the feature. On the hidden "IM" it can - and often will - still kill you if you gamble hi/low (e.g. trying to use the bonuses to turn the main JTRAR feature red).

The odd thing about this is though...........

£70s were set to a MAXIMUM of Jackpot and 2 repeats. Yet 3 repeats are clearly seen in this video

Crazybar is 100% right - the UK Gambling Commission ruled that the maximum number of "successful consecutive links" (i.e. Jackpot repeats) on a £70 machine was 2 - i.e. a max of £210.

The vid clearly shows this unit doing otherwise! Wierd.

On £35 machines the maximum number of repeats was 3 (i.e. £140 total), but the only manufacturer I ever knew of that did £140 was Cool/Games Media on Bucks Bunny and Billy the Quid. This was damn annoying on those units that didn't have a note acceptor, as there was only a maximum of £125 in the hopper even if full, so there would always be an IOU on a £140 win. Bad programming!

On this Star Wars machine, the hopper again surely wouldn't have enough to pay (isn't the max £350 with a note acceptor / £250 without?).

No wonder this was tight the one time I played it!

In Topic: DOND Perfect Game (!)

All,

Maybe I'm lucky, but I havent ever tried the £500 machines yet. Hopefully I will stay that way!

When machines were £25/£35, i found i generally at least broke even. On £70, it seems to me it's pretty rare to get a JP or mega streak without at least £100 in, whether Barcrest (which in SE London at least seem to be mainly 70% now), Electrocoin (nasty!) or Bell Fruit.

Tonight I played DOND Perfect Game again in a SE London local. No re-initialising, but I did have a laughable bloke next to me. Old mates of his kept coming into the pub with tales of their lives/partners/jobs etc, and he kept advising them that they should have used a condom rather than f*** their lives up. This was between him putting £100+ into Casino 5 Liner and winning f**k all.


Oh, and happy Xmas by the way, all of ya! May 2010 bring whatever youn want....

In Topic: Eclipse, is it really that bad?

My mistake re: all JTRAR;s being Epoch then!

If it's Eclipse, and £60, i'd definitely go for it! Good machine to play
