What's the most anyone has lost trying to force a £25 Jackpot machine?

**jjh** · 21st April 2005, 01:37 PM

I've only ever put £20 in wihout collecting any wins and got 'sweet FA'.

How much can a machine take before giving a big win or streak? Or what's the most you've ever lost trying to force?

((By forcing I take it that it means to play and not collect any wins until you hit something profitable))

Ouch!

It would be good to learn a certain threshold when a big win is coming. Say by putting £20 and not collecting any wins, then if the jp was due, £20 was enough or something? I suppose it is just down to experience.

Yeah from 'backing' though and with such a machine, you'd never know if it was backing or not- could have been refilled.

BTW, are £1,000 jackpots only ever to be found in casinos?

Biggest loss 25jp, a shitty empire game that the name of escapes me, full from 3rd quid, £105 later, no JP no nothing, totally did me in. Having said that, most ever won, £1 for £100 on a high flyer (IM + 3 repeats!)

1. Yes, you find them at the casino's
2. You make sure it's not been re-filled......watching/keying etc

Sound mate,

I remember one time I only had about £4 and one a JP, then repeat, great I thought, went on the next machine and done the same again! (£100!). Although that said, I remember I put £20 straight into club cops and robbers and never even got on the board!
