How long is a ...

... piece of string.

This is a similar question!

How much does an emptied 250 hopper joker/rat need to go back in afterwards before it will rpt again? Obviously assuming that you have brought it down properly ( sometimes they just wont lie down lol )

Personally, I don't believe the theory about the streak pot having to be full for it to repeat. I've played several where it constantly refuses the repeat (more than 15 times) yet other features have repeated.

same here. we did one and no joke it was about 35 to 40 times before the repeat. it was in a services on 70% though, which may well have had summat to do with it.

Blimey! You try that many times ? Personally i give it 4 attempts to rpt, if its not there just take JP and whatever afters and come back another day - you are still probably looking at a loss of between 15-30 at that stage.

Obviously if it rpts and you havnt got set up to get JP then persevere as you know the rpt will come back.

it was the first time we had done it, so just wanted to confirm the method as much as anything else. it had 250 hopper tho so still ended well over a ton up. just took a couple of hours!!!!

Barcrest Vivid are well aware of the situation (as with Honey Money) and most Rat Packs will be chipped after being hit once.

Whether they are IOU'd or not, when it comes to refill the machine will still be £200 down against percentage and these people arent daft so in most occasions get chipped immediatley.

I have not had one that i could do twice, anyone tell me different?

Got one in an "off the beaten track" location.... near enough emptied it approx 3 weeks ago ( 250 hopper) Will re-visit in the week and let you know!

As you say, most will be chipped by now, this one is a leisurelink who arent usually the quickest off the blocks, so you never know.

It must get a lot of casual action, as the time we did it, it gambled to tenner 1st attempt!

Hmmm may not bother....

Was in the said " off beaten track place" today ( just socially for a quick drink while out with missus ) Keyed it to get a reading, but has been disabled since last time i played it.... so may well have been chipped as well.
