Pac-man (the old one), Andy Capp, Road Hog to name just a few. These are the machines i play for fun some weekends. I remember from a while back things like if you got 2 nudges and you nudged down eg 2 greenbars, then it offered you a hold, you let them spin and it brought in 3 green bars?
Last night I was playing the old 5p/£5 jackpot Pacman. I only put £2 in it and got on the board a few times. Trouble is I never really know what to do when I'm on the board. Let me explain... Lol
So the arcade i play in is pretty quiet and it's only 5p/10p machines. There are a few young girls that be in regular, & from what I see they basically wait about for machines to be played & then they go and empty them lol
So last night I had just finished playing with my £2 on Pac man & she came flying round the corner & stuck her £1 in & took the jackpot out. Now it's not the money, but how the heck did she do it? From what I could see, she put her quid in, got on the board, landed on bonus nudges twice and nudged a few things down (couldn't see what). Then she landed on skill stop, then stopped it in the +2 feature and same again. Then she was using her bonus to move back 3, which was either adding a feature or nudges.
So, it seemed she was he'll bent on getting to reel roulette - which she took. She didn't gamble it to move to the feature above. So she took the reel roulette & it landed on the jackpot - there was only 1 jackpot on the reels.
It seemed she knew what she was doing (getting the jackpot). Now what I want to know is - did she, or was it luck?
Sorry for being so long winded but the curiosity has gotten the better of me. Are there tips and tricks for the older machines like I describe?
Cheers guys, hope someone can help.
P.s I have played Pacman on emu & it's still on my pc.
