£250 Jackpot Machine hell

[Aaron]

but i have seen a few lucky ppl who didnt have a clue win the 250 jp. one person but like 15 pound in and all of a sudden it droped in the 3 jp's and one above line and set one nudge. the guy even sat there for a secound thinking this cant be right. i luaghed for ages as my mate was going to go on the machine aswell.

I am NOT a pro but unless you are confident on what u are doing Id leave £250 machines alone. We have 3 in our uni and all ive found out about them is that they are easy at the time i play em for £12-15 off of say £3-7. For example theres a bingo one and its usually quite happy to give me the lowest feature for a couple of quid. This is at the time of the week i always have a look. Well that lowest feature gaurentees a fiver and highest £25 and even then u can usually gamble the next number to be in a range of numbers and times the ball by 1.5. So off a couple of quid I get the fiver ball and then that turns into £7.50. SO to me thats alright for what an extra 4 pints. And even then all 3 machines usually do the same so u can times that by 3. Im happy.

All i recommend is that you dont mess with them unles you can afford to because ive known guys to lose hundreds on £250 machines. Ive even heard rumors of people trying to force them and putting over a grand in. Never been confirmed so i cant tell you if thats true.

I certainly would not attempt to force a £250 machine the results would almost always result in massive losses. A better idea would be to set a strict amount say £20 or so and see what you can get from this. Trying to read the machine or believing it is likely to progress will also probably lead to loses.

As for the fair-play stuff I tend to disagree with their aims.. fair enough we have all seen cash at £15 - Number reel on 11. You go lower you know whats gonna come. (Of course there are exceptions).. bang 12. However if they did make all gambles some how random (taking percentage into account still?!?) there would be much less streak/force potential for many machines and even board entries would probably be a lot less frequent.
