Read this and laugh at someone elses misfortune

[Totty2]

Now.. I'm not a munter by any stretch of the imagination but this will make you grin...

Upon my excitement of seeing a Duff Beer guide machine in town, I decided to have a butchers and go in. "One pint of Stella please mate". Suddenly, I remembered...On ****fruits, there is a 'quickie' hint for a JP(Blue bar in middle, stopnstep, let it time out for JP...).

Ahh...£50 in pound coins already from previous boozer. So, ons I go. Not dropping in first fiver so thinking...take a win and leave it. £15 later and I get my first board. Good start. Get chucked out on 2nd spin. Hmmm... God knows why but I carried on. That was the moment I regretted.

After sticking £30 in I thought.. "Well, I've had 5 boards and a max win offer of £3. Someone must have Jp'd it before me. Cant be that far of dropping now..." After £40 I get stopnstep and, Miraculously, Blue bar on middle reel. Let it time out... DOESN'T WORK!! (For one, ****fruits better remove their cheat from their site coz its giving 'FALSE INFORMATION'.)

Bugger, got to go for the JP now and hope for a streak to recoup losses.

Well, lets cut a long story short, £137 later woohoo first JP. Then, Absolutely no repeat, no red board, no £3 no NOTHING!! Puts a fiver of my 'WINNINGS' back in, chucked out on 2nd spin twice.

A total loss of £117. Not bad for 1 machines work.

Must have literally just been dumped for a LOT for the last person that was on it.

Bugger... Wish I had used my refill key!

A refill key would be useless on SBG, it is a Maygay machine, & disables the hopper balance display + other refill key features via dip switch 14 on the CPU bank, I used to own this machine so know this for fact.
Also as for letting the Stop N Step time out on the blue bar, this does NOT guarantee a JP roll in, unless the machine is JP READY! I bet it either spun in the grape for the £1.60 or a cherry for a quid, this is standard operating procedure on SBG to stop it paying a JP out too soon, thus affecting percentage by paying big when not ready.
Also getting a JP does not usually trigger a streak, especially if set below 80%, a red board is VERY, VERY rare after a JP, unless the percentage is way off.
It sounds like the one you played had been hammered recently, & played since then by punters who kept it dead via collecting small wins of £2 - £4 to keep it at target percentage.
Sorry to hear about your loss, but I bet now you'll give this machine a lot more respect, & next time read the signs very carefully.

I never knew about the stop n step thing. It was ****fruits that told me it would work!

[Tony92]

Yep m8, the SNS feature has had me off many a time in the wilds, even going back 3 years ago, so it's nothing new, i.e. rechip etc.

[weazel]

blame it on the stella m8. soon its gonna be called fruit machine beater.

You can also wedge the JP from a red bar on stop n step but again only when it's ready. Even the red lines will bounce sometimes off stop n step.

Ouch,nasty.
SBG is a clone of Spartacash and the SnS 'trick' was much more likely (and profitable) on the original.If your eyesight is good enough you should be able to hit it 'naturally'[!].It will cheat when it wants to though. Red lines never used to bounce,AFAIK.The later versions of SBG(with the different Maygay attract mode) are nasty and I avoid them-SnS doesn't only cheat more often-it is almost permanently blocked,in fact I haven't played one for over a year.We are talking about a clone of something that's over 5 years old,after all.


A pity,this was one of the *best* AWPs of recent years.
Not only were these profitable,they were actually amusing too.

[Totty2]

I can tell you one thing. I WONT be going on it again, even if I watch someone shove £100 boff into it and it was dropping from the first quid!

Bastard.
