Red Hot Roll

[Topthelot]

is it red hot? does it really roll?

bowling alley thats been a dman good friend to me over the last 12 mths has just removed half its stock of £25 JP machines and replaced them with this 3 way barcrest multiplayer

i have a pathological aversion to multiplayers, but knowing it'll be filled regularly by teenagers and bored parents cant resist having a go

any general playing hints and tips?

Typically it's not too bad....the mixed come in quite a lot but usually no more than £5 or so...the reds are harder to chase and can do widely varying amounts....I've had £10, £38, and £83 ish....once had the reds for £10 followed by the blues for £40 straight after. JP's seem to come in close sequence when you hit it right...I've had a three hold followed by 2 nudge after hold in the space of £20. Only usually play them when backing but you can quite often only end up with roughly the same amount in the bank as you put in when they are backing. I like them enough...better than Barcrest Stampede crap.

ever had the red's hold KG?? find it strange that, like you said, the red series can go for as little as £10 yet the blue can go £40 plus

Nah, only ever had the mixed hold.
