hi i was wondering if anybody can tell me what the 3 lights are on the austin powers machine on the left hand side of the turbo gamble are for? they somtimes seem to light up the higher you get, i have been playing this machine for ages now and still cant work it out. thanks :wink:

I think u'll find that all the 'turbo gamble to entry' barcrest machines amongst a whole host of other manufacturers have employed this feature.

What it is, is that it say for eg., u have 2 lit up... This allows you to keep turbo gambling till u lose a gamble. If u lose a gamble, then one light is removed. Then u can gamble again if u lose another gamble the last light is removed and u HAVE to exchange to feature. (So, basically, it is a 'gambling life')

However, these are useless really. 3 lights can be very misleading. It makes u think "Ohh i have a guaranteed 3 gambles" but in reality u often lose ur first gamble and get chucked straight back on the trail!

Hope this is clear for u.

On other Barcrest machines, which involve a [3 gambles for a bonus] system, such as Gimme Gimme Gimme > Cash Bang Wallop > Full of Beans [and no doubt Horn of Plenty and Bling King Crazy too], and also those like Supercharged, and the clone of it whose name escapes me,

The 3 symbols relate to the number of bonus positions filled on feature exchange. For example, you have 2 'GO' lights [I think they are go lights] on Supercharged, if you exchange, you only need to gamble once to get the bonus.

I'm not sure about that 'Gambling Life' theory in the above post, I thought that upon losing one gamble you had to exchange, independent of the number of 'bugs'?

Not sure though, as I haven't played one in bloody ages!

This is a horrible horrible machine.

On a good licence, it good of been a good machine, like simpsons beer guide.

Shame...

I think you are talking about something completely different BarcrestBenito.

These "gambling lives" arent a great deal of use really, unless you are playing something like Money Mad Martians. Best to keep hold of them for when you are on the cash side, instead of going for more nudges, so that you can gamble more frequently on the cash & in turn be offered more features.

You must be playing the Money Mad Martians in the Showboat in Ipswich.
