Top Giza

[benroles]

Just wondered how everyone was finding this machine? It's been pretty good to me recently.

Session 1: Play for a little bit and set-up £15 win. Gamble correctly for £25 but then LOSE the lot by trying to gamble for Top Giza. Anyway - few quid later and I get hidden - Stop N Step - for the £25 anyway. Next board get £15 of super Hidden star. So that's £40.

Session 2: Few days later get 'open pyramid' on a pretty crap board. But even though the features were crap and I was low on money, a few correct gambles meant I was on £25 on the top. So I go lower than a 2 to collect the £25.

Session 3 - different location: Looking nice on numbers and indeed gamble up to £25. Take this based on past experience (don't risk for Top Giza). Next board all green except for red top pyramid feature. This is usually pretty naff actually as it NEVER stops on anything nice. Except this time it stops on another JP. So that's £50.

Session 4 - Since I won that £50 last night I didn't think the machine this morning would be doing much but stick a few quid in on the way to work. Get mixed hiddens first for crappy trail cash but then get super Hidden Star. Decide to collect and get £19 of this!! Leave it at that but was surprised the machine did this after I took £50 last night.


So all in all doing pretty good on this machine. How are other people finding it. Guess I am just gitting this at the right time??

Let me know how you are all doing!!

What % was this at?
i have one of these in my local, but i refuse to play 70% M/C's

Hmm... I am not sure about the first one... the second I think was maybe 78%.

You are right though about the percentage making a difference. With the £50 I won I then went to another bar I know. £25 out of SRM after only a few quid in so had £70ish. I went and stuck that in a 70% Sting King Rich (also red). After £25 I got Top Money for £25 back. Thinking it may do more I then went and put back about £50 - £60 with absolutely nothing back. Best it would do was the £7 block and kill.

I thought pub settings were above 70% ??

They have the symbols on them now dont they with the beer glass, horse and arcade machine which tells you what they are supposedly set to

[benroles]

I think the symbols you refer to indicate the type of program being ran. For example, arcade mode may assume players know more (hiddens, number runner etc.) and as such may play in a manner more tuned to them. Pub mode may be more random to attract casual punters etc.

The percentage setting is something different and is usually indicated by it being written on the machine!

You would think so! don't always belive this a gospel though as Mech's that are moved around can be changed without alteration to the display!!
