The Great Escape & Lockbuster

**Anonymous** · 11th January 2003, 01:32 AM

Hi all - I know, Just came back of my Hols from sunny Yarmouth

These two machines have just replaced = Knockout & Hypalinx thank god Seems that 'The Great Escape' is another clone of 'IJ2' and the super crossfire still seems to do it's job nicely

But as for Lockbuster - I've seen a few posts for this and there's definately a method for it but as i've said before i don't get machines around my place as quick as some and i tried to force it today and got stung badly - £50 Down that's backing after the first £10 - is this the way to play ? i.e force ?

Seems to have a very unoriginal Jackpoteer's theme to it with the Cash Advance and the inner boards - Don't suppose the old Jackpoteers method works on this one ?

Anyhow some help would be much appreciated

P.s Drop me a P.M Stewart

Cheers

Find a place where others dont force the machine. The lower % payout can rape you

The original chip seems to have been replaced and the newone has given it an even flatter profile.

This is the first time i've set eyes on this machine - and i know it's been out ages but we don't get many updates near me .

So your saying this could be the latest chip version and to force it would be a bad idea ?

Whats the best thing to play for , i.e best features ect ..

I played it the other day and it kept getting me high up the shot trail - like 7 shots, is this usual play or when it's ready ?

Seems very similar to Jackpoteers - is it possible to build a streak like on Jpteers , does it even have an IM for that matter ?

Any help appreciated stewart

Cheers - TRITON

P.S have you played the fruity on the 'Redgaming.com' site - it's hard as hell , just take a look at the high scores and try and match em , it's bloody impossible Lol , God only knows how they acheived it .

ive got some bit n bobs on it but need to put it in some kind of order

get back to ya. Being a bellfruit, its bound to be pretty shite anyway!

as for being a new chip, if you can, turn it off and on, it should say on the ram check what version it is

well most of the Bell fruit offerings are Cack but this one does look like a forcable machine - Just a hunch about the way the board is set out Lol

Drop me a PM stewart

Did you have a look at Redgaming.com ??

Stewart if you are from Birmingham or further south then reply and let me know coz I got some info about Lockbuster you will be interested in!!!!!!!!!

A good sign that lockbuster is rdy to pay is if it offers the feature 'money go round'. used to be able to force for profit but landlord noticed i kept dropping £70+ so must have got a re-chip as it never streaked again. A good feature to take for quick profit is turbo cash, can get £20+ from this for quick profit.

Never actually taken this feature, is it reel roulet?? If so, i suppose collecting it while you have an extra life gives you skill stop on the outside reels?? (all features are super if you have an extra life?)

Me local has just swapped "my" lockbuster for a "Just the Ticket"!!! Happy new Year?

**TheKing** · 14th January 2003, 05:15 PM

I can confirm all features are super if you have an extra life. Thats about all I can confirm on that machine tho
