furthur to my initial post about 'Crazy Cobra' in my local ripping the hell outta me ive worked it out a bit. like a novice my ignorance of a machine was killing me. the machine doesnt seem to be forceable, got it playing, lost 5 gambles for jp then it went cold on me. when you lose the gamble and the board is open you win the board which can set you back and make you start again. seems easier to make up a balance taking certain features which are quite good for 10-15. also, it loves ripping your money for boards then killing you on your first gamble!!!! hate that!!
