New £25 jackpot Monopoly

[MattB]

What do you mean by blocking at £3?

I've had a tenner before off the nudges win- either 3 red sevens or is it blue? Does that mean had I gambled that win, I could have forced for a jackpot?

If a machine is blocking, it stops at a certain cash amount/feature until a certain amount has gone in so that it can afford to give the cash/feature. Best example i can think of is Stop n step on Italian Job 3.....the next feature up is bank raid, which you can get JP off, therefore the machine blocks at stop n step until it can afford to give bank raid (possible £25.....still with me?)

You can't gamble nudge wins off that monopoly as far as i know, though if it's offering £10+, i'd just play for the JP.

cheers again. On the Monopoly I had collected 16 nudges (only needed one more for 1 million nudges) and it tells you the nudge win, which was £10. I then hit a mystery on the feature board so collected the £10 instead of gambling and possibly losing the tenner. Is it pretty much guaranteed jackpot after a machine offers you £10 like that?

Not guaranteed at all....i've stuck £40 in a machine when it's offered me £15 before i got the JP before. You've answered the block q yourself, the block is clearly at 16 nudges, as the next nudge amount is JP, and it didn't offer it....therefore it couldn't afford to pay it at that point. Just judge for yourself whether or not to push on for JP (make sure you've got the float to back yourself up though....)

Yeah, I hadn't realised. On Trailblazer, I needed one more nudge for jackpot and the win was £12, but I collected. I think that is actually a good way of judging isn't it? If you can collect £12 but are tempted by one more nudge for jackpot- if a jackpot is due, it just gives you it normally, so perhaps being that one nudge away is a sign that it ain't gonna pay out anytime soon and you're best taking a £10+ win and trying with that...
