Need help playing Jolly Roger

[tep_kubo]

Hi,

I'm have only just started taking an interest in fruit machines so please bear with me (basically I'm completely new to everything!!)

Can anyone please give me any help on how to play on Jolly Roger - any tips or step by step procedures etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Your best option is:

1. See if it is full. (The coins will drop to the bottom of the machine if the hoppers are full)

2. If it isn't, leave it. If it is, put £40 in ans spin the credits away (dont hold anything dont nudge anything, just press start).

3. After the £40 has gone, start playing it properly, just dont collect anything apart from the top sreak.

4. You will get the top streak after about £70 (average).

5. Hope it streaks and gives, £100+.

6. You will usually, 8/10 get at least £50 back.

Other than that this machine is a waste of time and I would not advise playing it with the intention of making more than £3 profit.

hi tep_kubo

a1056688 has raised the main pointers on this machine. If your playing for the force, whittle away the first £30 or so, 'cos it will block and kill you and is a waste of time. When it's starting to get to the far top right corner (9 reel blasts area) it's worth playing out the boards properly for the Streak, as it can go anywhere. It usually blocks a fair bit at £10 on reel blasts and £15-£20 cashpot before offering it.

If it's a cack streak for £25, its probably worth it to stay on. If it's still offering skill bonuses and £5+, it's probs worth forcing for top feature again, which SHOULD (in my long experience on this) go for more, usually £35-£50. Gave me £55 today on a streak, so it depends on when the last streak was on how it plays. That was off landing on a treasure chest, and the machine lighting all 3 at once. Like i say, it can streak at any point once properly full, so play the boards properly.

I've never had a top feature streak go for more than £75 though, but it will usually continue to roll if it's full, offering you £5 repeaters, £10 reel blasts, good win spins etc. Keep playing it and taking these until your not getting superboards and more than £4 odd off feature entry. You'll tell when it's died and stopped playing.

If it's offering £1-£3 shots and no skill bonuses, stay WELL clear of it, it will rip £5 or more for boards on the recovery. It's an easy reader to be honest, and if you can hit it at the right time, can be VERY profitable.
