HiLo Karate ( vivid)

[deejaybee]

Looks to be another waste of space....

Forced one today that was only £5 light ( this is one in a busy pub with late licence that presumably would have been chocka on a Sat night).

It actually gave me £6 off 4 win spins from £3 in..... thats when my good sense deserted me £50 later it flashed, took "Megastreak" rather than JPR, but it only went for £25. Next board gave a £5 win, then it was back to £2 & £3 boards.

I had been offered a Red Reel Roulette feature a couple of times before the flash, but i assumed that it would just give a repeat chance on whatever win it gave, rather than being a slow true-skill reel roulette... didnt have JP in view anyway and didnt want to risk getting a medium/high win & setting it back as i was committed to the force by now.

Also there is the usual streak setup..... Streak, "Middle Streak" & Megastreak....presumably usual values... £6-9 for streak, £12-16 Middle streak & atleast £25 for mega. Before the flash it had offered me the "baby" streak a few times, but not the middle one, which i would have expected it to if progressing normally.

Maybe CMR was right in his CMA post... the days of simple forcing are well & truly over.

just like the days of the CMA are over. they helped kill slotting...and what an amazing(ly empty) messageboard they have chuckle.

Alex, with the benefit of hindsight you are probably right, but i dont think they could have imagined how the fruity scene would take off.

Again with hindsight, maybe they should have limited member numbers, but that would have cut down Mr Smedley's income ( not knocking him as i bet a lot of other people wish they had the nous to set up a board that successful)

deejaybee....only play for the Hi-Lo karate feature, very capable of giving £75 (had that twice before) in red. Gives you features at random, then offers repeat/stop. Can go through a lot of the features, and in red they are all super anyway.
MS is usually only £25, so not worth taking. Can be a bit of a bugger this one, but when it's had plenty through it, it always seems to do well for me

No problem......bit like telling someone to mind their head after they've walked into a door!

At least you'll know next time the pissheads have rammed it full for you to empty eh!

Thanks for your advice Matt, my mate was playing this last night and was backing from the off, it gave an IM (All Vivid logos flashing) after a fiver and I told him to take the top feature.. it went for £50, not a bad result for him the jammy begger!

When the Vivid Logo flashes HLK always goes for 50, but it is completely random, have seen a mate put 140 through one offered 3 features b4 top first board to get HLK eventually for 50, tried next few boards, no joy, next day some random put 3 quid in got 50 from flash. This m/c is not progressive - it seems to have the same problem as BFM's and QPS's - ie block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, random 15, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, random 15, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, random 15, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, random 15, block at 10, random 15, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, block at 10, then JP then JP then 1 decent board then dead - Thank you - I think not.
