Crown Jewels

Anyone played this absolute drivel yet? They have taken the one redeemning quality out of it, you cant collect on the Q mark anymore! So what was an incredibly bad game for players and punters alike is now a complete nightmare.

I quite like it, think the block is at £10.

Superboard pretty often and had a few JP's repeat and quick £10 wins, so the 1 I play must be buzzed

lol, there two near me and for a quick steal i rate them, sb often repeats but i have never tryed to all out force one yet, always just take the quick steal.

Crown Jewels - all out force could be quite costly. However, it's funny because i played one a fortnight ago in a Shipley's, and after £9 in for a board, i got £15.60 on the superboard. Cut a long story short, two boards later it flashed the usual 'go all the way' for an IM. Played through to collect Crown Jewels - a win streak affair. It went mental. Ended up with £138 from it...had to get £13 off the attendant (paid it with no qualms!) as the machine was empty.
Not sure you'd get this result all the time though...

Played it once, wasnt impressed, won't be playing it again.

Same as 90% of machines created in the past 2 years, they dont have the potential to offer regular profit.

I cant imagine going from pub to pub playing Crown Jewels and coming out with profit at the end of the night without getting lucky, can you?

Therefore, this and so many other machines wont' be getting any of my money again.

Simple theory, stick to that, and you won't go far wrong!

k thanks for info, i have to admit i do stay away unless im in there and see sum1 either playing on it or one of the bar staff gives me a heads up on that has just took about a tenenr for nowt. and still i only normaly take around the 4 quid repeat mark.

on a other matter had hellraiser go for 50 yesterday after a tenner in it. was well happy. but the affters were not all that about two quid back in for a 4 quid board and next board worse. still came out with about 50 pound profit from it. normaly like srm abit more but sum lad was playing.
