super bar-x-

[stew]

been playing one of these today (huge hangover so lo-tec day )
its got three wins
1. x = 10
2. bar = 15
3. 7 =25 (the seven is surrounded by flames!)

plays real flat and hardly any nudges given, although when you do get them,theres always a win on . Also, if you get a hold and there's two of a kind on the win line, it always brings in the third (hence super i suppose)

made a tidy profit but must be something to cut down having to play it for bloody hours, anyone got anything solid

got the bloody name wrong!!!!!!!!

Its called Magic 7’s – by Electrocoin...

this is what is said about it by an arcade owner.....NOT ME!!!

"I must admit that this game totally confused me on first playing. I announced that there must be something wrong with it as I didn’t get a hold or, indeed, a nudge for simply ages while pumping in my pounds.

Then I gained a hold, and by holding two symbols the same, in came the third matching symbol.

After a nudge a win was gained….every time!.

This was Magic 7’s secret weapon, if you like. You have to wait for a hold or a nudge and then you are guaranteed the win, no matter what it is.

What can they possibly do that’s NEW to a machine that only features X, Bar and a jackpot symbol?. Well, Electrocoin have proved that you can indeed do something.

Customers don’t seem to mind that you don’t get any holds for ages and then wins come straight in or can be nudged or held and held again. This is something that I haven’t seen on a machine before where a nudge means a win and a hold means a win, for definite and it does seem to work well.

Magic 7’s takes some getting used to if you like to hold symbols and then hope to win. With this machine, as least you know where you stand. It’s a no bullshit machine…you win when you’re meant to and it won’t lead you up the garden path by offering hold after hold or nudge after nudge without giving you a win. So many times I’m offered a nudge on other machines but, alas, the winning symbols are always one ‘extra’ nudge away, so you never get to win this way. Electrocoin have turned this into a feature and, in a funny sort of way, I do prefer it.

Because this concept is so different and brave of Electrocoin, I’ve got to give it a Recommended award. It’s earning big time too, and that says it all."

I'd like to hear you praise it next week when you've done fucking £160 through it without a hold or a nudge or any kind of thrown in win.

The payout cycle is fucked and most people don't get any enjoyment or profit from these. The one in my local arcade takes £1K a week and rolls for about £300 once a week.

These machines are SERIOUS gambling machines. The payout cycle is so huge that you're not left with the cushion you have on many lo-techs.

thats why it says "its earning big time too" in bold! there making a mint of it, very dangerous mech

if you dont catch it at the right time it obviously takes the piss
