use the search button - its not an emptier its a damn good manipulator tho.. i have had 110 out on occasion. its a tweak on the vivid method with a few free wins thrown in for good measure.

•Gamble cash until red 7's (£10).
•Exchange and kill the board off (either take a spin or collect feature and gamble to Cash Attack).
•Let the feature time out!
•Keep doing this until you know that you have put enough value into the feature so when you collect features the gamble is a no lose!

•Now you want to gamble the cash win all the way, again another no lose, so lower than a 2 or higher than an 11!
•After your first JP, play for another feature and collect the cash pot, gamble this to £15, no lose to £10 so try and get the number on £8 on an 11 or 2, so that when you have got £10 you are guaranteed £15! Collect the £15. So the method is up to £40.

•Next feature will have enough value to gamble to top feature (king something!) again the gamble should be no lose, so try and force the gamble for the JP. If not collect the feature, and this should give you approx. £25 so the method is worth approx £65!

IM boards are free so the method will = £90

This is an edited cut and paste, usually for the last £25.00 - I go for 'It's A Hold Up' feature (sixth one) for JP.

theres also a free defuse the bomb win as well as far as i can remember..

Anyone ever had an IM whether doing the method or not?

You can knock back even more of the Jacks level (cash attack?) feature if you want to try and get the free IM...only had it once though.

You all finish with 'It's a Hold Up' or the top feature?

Yes, had it quite a few times,though it was fairly rare to get a natural IM.
As for letting the feature time-out,I prefer[red] to deliberately mess it up by pressing the wrong buttons.
To get the free win on the feature required getting a 'dummy repeat' and re-entry on the same cedit(there was a bug that allowed this at times).
I haven't seen or played one of these for many a moon-does anyone know if the method was ever chipped out?

Man,these things were evil if you didn't know the method.

Right I'm gonna have a say in this subject as I used to love Card Shark...

Main Vivid method was (obviously) to gamble to £10 on cash wins, exchange, take feature and gamble up to the 10 block - cash attack (defuse the bomb) take it and refuse it (ie take nothing), after 3 times of doing this the cash wins should gamble to pot. Now there were 2 methods, either take 2 more boards for pot, which was risky or gamble to 15 on Cashpot on the first board and then the next board or 2 (sometimes 3 if being a bitch) will give pot.

Now there was no free win just more value in the repeat pot (as Card Shark has cash, cash pot, board and repeat pots - thats 4 in all). When you are gambling to 10 and exchanging always bring in 3 sharks in view if you can using the move back 3 and add again. Now if the machine repeats on red cash attack it will say hold them all - this board is an added bonus and shows the repeat pot is overflowing. This board you are guaranteed a pot and after the gamble on cash will still go to £10.

To recap the methods:

25 on Cash, 25 on Board, 25 on Board, DEAD
25 on Cash, 15 on Cashpot on Board, 25 on Board, DEAD
25 on Repeat Board, 25 on Cash, 25 on Board, 25 on Board, DEAD
25 on Repeat Board, 25 on Cash, 15 on Board, 25 on Board, DEAD

Also it is worth knowing that if doing the method and you get a red board this also comes out of the repeat pot and is also free, and features will only repeat if more than 25 but enough to give jp extra is in the repeat pot.

QOTD - Its a hold up everyone knows - always good for a quick nick and guarantees a 75 - cash, hold up, hold up.

P.S. Any Q's PM me and anyone who wants to correct me if Im wrong (which maybe so due to not playing one for so long) can.

P.P.S. I could swear I posted this a year or two ago, or an explanation similar.
