I'm interested to know, is just playing a fruit machine for 3 in a row dead? Personally even if I nudge in a win, I always exchange for the feature board where possible. Been that way for donkies it seems. Does anyone still play fruities -just- to get high-prized fruits on the line? Is it even possible to spin in a JP directly, or does it -always- come from features? Let me know what you think via the poll!

It all depends how the machine is playing, and how far up the cash ladder I am. Most of the time I would exchange for the feature, however. The difficulty is that if you were, say, at £5 and exchanged, the chances are you would either start the board on a crap feature, or the cash value would be lower. If the machine was in 'pay nowt' mode, then you would probably get killed on the first or second spin. I have seen all sizes of win drop in on all sorts of different machines, but they usually drop straight in without any prior holds. I have even had three holds in a row for the JP. Also the 'hidden features' (hold one reel, x nudges next, hold three symbols above win-line etc.) have also given JP's. I think the basic rule is that if the machine wants to give you a Jackpot that easily, it doesn't matter what you do, it will give you it.
