Cops n Robbers (BFM 25jp)

**Bu©©$** · 26th September 2004, 04:22 AM

Just like to say thanx to all for the info ...

Was in my local pub the other day and all they seem to get is BFM machines 1 in the lounge and 1 in the Bar, LOTR 3 was a waste of time always took plenty of cash and I never once saw the JP getting paid out.

Any way they were replaced the other day with Snakes & Ladders and Cops n Robbers so excited to try a new machine I hopped over to CnR and put a couple of £££ in with no real result.

That evening I read a post here about Cops n Robbers and "Go All The Way" was mentioned which at the time of reading I thought nothing of except the player decided to "Go All The Way" .... Well the next day I was back in my local and infront of Cops n Robbers agan, within £2 credit I had 1 swag on the line and 2 above and below BUT the 3 special swags lit up and I heared voices lol saying "Go All The Way" !!!! I immediately remembered what I had read here, so I did, & no sooner than the JP was in my cashpot another 2 turns and the same thing happened again !!!

Jeez I couldn't believe my luck.

So a big thumbs up to all that help us stoopid newbies it's much appreciated

Don't think its gonna happen on a regular basis though!

I agree.

From what i can remember the streak cycle on these things depending on % is around £300/400. Someone correct me if im wrong.

The best advice i can give is for you to force for JP and hope for streak every x amount of weeks.

x being between 2 and 4 depending on how busy the venue is.

Thanx for the tip M8 , it's a quiet local pub so I'll be lucky to get a streak again before the machine is changed :P

In my experience the streak is more likely to show completely randomly, as with Bu©©$, after just a couple of quid, than through forcing which will more often than not yield a single JP? I would have thought that as soon as the machine is streak happy it would just dump it in the form of IM's or just not giving ?'s seemingly at random. Im not claiming to have great experience with these machines as I try to avoid them, but surely forcing machines that can and will dump the streak on any munter thats playing for a bit of beer money is asking for trouble?

Edit: Again im not sure, but I would have thought the streak cycle was larger than £300?

Big Cheese / Highflyer / Top Dog
Royal Roulette / Pesos
Dambuster / IJ3
Cash Attack

All recent machs cable of random IM streaks that i personally have found forcing will yield good profits.

Im sure others would agree.

I must be unlucky then with my efforts at these....

I thought R Roulette was a definate big streaker if forced out for the winning streak feature, all I got was fucking £25...

Cash attack can cost loads?

IJ3's pretty rare for me, must've forced 20+ and only 1 streak ever. Oh yes does the free JP off IM only work during the streak or any IM>? Or chipped?

Obviously your not going to get the streak everytime you force but in my experience Royal Roulette often only costs £25 if buzzed up as with IJ3 and Dambuster therefore if you dont get the streak, try again a week later.

Look for the signs. Backing, £5+ etc

Yes Cash Attack can cost alot 50+, but if played the right way it can yield good profit on occasions.

IJ3, its not a free JP its a free streak form ?s. AFAIK it is only free if taken mid streak, ie not first JP, IM or not. Not sure on chips, i think it just makes it give shots and £25 first spin, thus no opportunity to build ?s up.

I personally found that the winning streak feature at the top of the feature stack of royal roulette never gave the streak for me, but getting gold streak usually does it?

a1056688 - Yes the machines you mention are all very profitable when forced, but I would not consider any recent BFM offerings to be anywhere near as good (reliable) for a force? BC, Pesos and Dambusters, including all of there respective clones, are just about the easiest machines to read at the moment in terms of their progressive nature. Im not saying that the BFM machines will not streak if pushed as i have seen it happen, but I would consider the forcing of say cops and robbers a LOT riskier than the forcing of a Big Cheese (especially the old prog BC's). I would say that it is a lot more likely to hit the streak on a bell fruit if playing 'munter style' recycling wins than on a big cheese.

Very interesting, this was what I was meaning, but yeah it must be hard to build it up.

Do you ever recycle JP's on IJ3's etc?
