Super Breakout / Italian Job / Card Shark?

[ryeslater]

Hi all, new to all this but does anyone have any hints or tips for these machines.
Got italian job in my house £15jp,
other two in the local. £25jp.

Card shark hardly pays, why is this.

...Job I assume is a version 1, with a rechip. Unfortunatly it isn't that great as a home machine and there are so so obvious blocks at £5.

Force the machine and it just IMs to balance itself. If you can get a JP off the feature stack, then it will normally repeat for £50.

SuperBreak out / Colliseum (JPM) - This machine is so bad its unbelivable...
I had a net loss of £95 from this bugger, and it didn't once give a JP-Repeat... What the hell is going on???

Any help with this one guys?
How much does this machine usually payout when it streaks?

Collosieum is so bad that you might as well play a club machine...the odds of getting a streak are not much shorter than winning a £250 JP. It is by far the most poorly programmed machine that jpm have ever produced and the are paying for it now with their dwindling sales and minority presence in pubs and arcades. It is sad to reflect on the glory days of old with the likes of red alert and hotshot that they produce so much dross now.

The only way to play Colliseum/SB is to pretend that they are £5 jackpot machines.If you always aim high on every board you will *always* lose.

Yes they are poor,and not a patch on JPMs gone by,but they are not quite as bad as they first appear-provided you accept that you will almost never see a JP on one.
Saying that,the most recent chip for Colliseum *is* unbelievably bad.

If it's the newer version can be pretty mean, sometimes takes £100+ without offering a JP and forces low wins on you quite often through the ?s Collect Prize.

There are a couple of low features which can be good when super. Done the Job will at least give £25 on a £25JP but I've never seen it go over (the only times I've had £25 repeats were on a feature that gave £25 or getting cash KOs that guaranteed £25).

Overall, OK but best to make sure that it's not just recently paid out big. If it's on a roll it usually throws you on the feature practically every spin (about 3 times or more).

Is there an emptier for Super Breakout? Or for that matter barcrest's "Party Animal or Super League? (gotta ask)

i have the card shark method, its old now might trade for right info

[KennyRogers]

fuck trading info for card shark!!!!! Method is:-

Gamble cash until red 7's (£10)
exchange and kill the board off (either take a spin or collect feature and gamble to Cash Attack) let the feature time out!
Keep doing this until you know that you put enough value into the feature so when you collect features the gamble it no lose!
Now you want to gamble the cash win all the way, again another no lose, so lower than a 2 or higher than a 11!
After you first JP, play for a feature and colect the cash pot, gamble this to £15, no lose to £10 so try and get the number on £8 on an 11 or 2, so that when you have got £10 you are gaurenteed £15! Collect the £15. So the method is up to £40.
Next feature will have enough value to gamble to top feature (king something!) again the gamble should be no lose, so try and force the gamble for the JP. if not collect the feature and this should give you approx. £25 so the method is worth approx £65!

can be more but depends if the feature or your lst JP repeats

Have fun

Had a few like that, those were the days! Was there a rechip issued, as I did this once and it wouldnt have it at all. Wasnt sure if it was a fluke cos I have never seen it turn down again.
