holy smoke

[spud]

Can someone please help me with this machine by impulse.

Indeed I can offer some advice for it..

Notable features:
1) Hell on reels(?) - Keeps giving numbers on the reels and the cash stack increments each time eg a 1 and a 2 on the reels would give +3 cash.. Good for about £10 - JP amount

2) High Roller(?) - Hit 12 for JP - True skill so it is a good feature

3) Smoke em out(?) - Hide and seek but four amounts.. good for about £8

4) Holy Smoke - Top feature by completing the super trail.. good for £25+

Now then I do not generally like this machine cus it has very tough blocks at £7, £10 and £15 I think.. I can take £50+ to JP at times then go dead after first JP..

If you find your self to be at about £70 down I would ADVISE you go for a flickering board and take the top feature.. I have never seen this go for less than £75 on a flickering board.. but to get it to flicker is easy said than done.. I have infact only seen it four times and I have seen this one played many many times..

My method for this one is play a few £ and see where it is getting too, if it is not playing well then leave well alone and let someone else fill it up a little first.

Good signs:
1) Starting with super trail open and extra life etc
2) Lots of them selecta, link up and boost bonuses that appear on reels during reel play
3) Cash amount getting above £7ish

Bad signs:
1) Rare board entry
2) Getting killed very quickly
3) Going lower than 11 to a 12 on say +1 cash

It is not a really bad machine but then again it is not really all that good.. if some has slammed a good £50+ into it then I would go for a flickering board by ignoring all prizes.. The problem is if the machine is going to JP then it can be hard to pass it up as once you are half way up the feature trail there are no features that pay like £1..I usually just keep going against numbers.. higher than 11, lower than 2 and hopefully loses..

I would never advise forcing unless it really is showing signs.. I have pushed £80 in before to get a flickering board which took a good few hours just to get £100 back.. not a good investment.
