Trick shot BFM

**Thor2007** · 1st July 2005, 09:43 PM

Anyone got anything on this, I think there is something on this but not widely known. I've pushed this a million times, usually do alright but I hate the fact the 2 red boards seem random. Mega streak is a bit of a pain as well, will take u to £25, drop credit and then stop at £32?!

Plays dead for £20, walk off. Next guy comes on and goes red, and then red again. RAGE! Happened twice to me now. If info on this is sensitive and anyone wants to share, PM me.

Boxes on this can b quite rewarding, middle right pocket gives triple shot on cash ladder, usually offers £5 - £8, with hi-lo chance.

Want advice?

Its BFM, leave it... never played trick shot but by BFM standards, you just have to be there, right time, right place!

with the number of these around, and the lack of profitable/progressive machines around (my area anyway), it is adviseable to learn to play these in my opinion. I do get wot u r saying tho as most BFM machines are poor unless u get v.lucky.

I do know a lot about this particular effort, but just wanted to know if anyone had any specific tips.

An all out force on Trick Shot is not really a good idea, the best advice I can give from personal experience is play for a couple of boards and see if you can get a super board, if Win Series comes easily go for super series, this can got for from what I've seen upto £42 with a credit take. If it doesnt try a couple more board and try for hiddens - which are a good quick nick - right middle pocket - triple shot, 3 shots on cash and can give upto 8 quid, always take unless on 1 or 12 and it likes to kill you alot. It can also hold many times afterwards for another few quick nicks.

Cheers Dave, knew about hiddens. Did u know that if u hit £10 or £15 via triple shot then GAMBLE, as it usually gives the gamble to £20, straight exchange onto board for JP. Anything under the £10 mark then it will kill u first gamble, unless a petty amount.

Thing about the super feature is that it only really gives it when it is happy, and super streak is alright, only ever had it go for £27. Good to know it does more tho. U ever had a JP repeat? (not including IM board) Wot's the most you've had with mega streak?

Chris,

After watching a good mate put 200 into Trickshot the other day in my local arcade, purely because the random 50 was due, he got MS for 25, no streak or real afters and after that much in your not gonna take a 5 quid board. He ended up after alot of skillfull play (ie hitting skill alot of times) getting a red pot, which didnt repeat. He got the random 50 and ended up 90 down.

In my experience of forcing i have pushed for red pot which I have never had repeat (approx 10 times trying). Also the super feature has one main way of letting u know if its natural - if from the break at full power the bottom ball goes to the left middle pocket, if they miss or go in other pockets its random.

BTW: Thanks for the triple shot 10/15 gamble thing - never knew that - probably because I've never had 10/15 on one of the shots.

Dave

P.S. As levartemit says try a refill key and see if the dump hopper option is enabled - probably not!

Is trick shot a failed test machine? Or is it still on test as i remember seeing it on the ATEI website a year or so ago. It is not on the BFM website, the only trick shot type machine i have seen is the club one.

Keyed two different Trick shots, got to the 'Hopper Dump' option and I think start flashes for 'yes'. Didn't work though.

It was always casual collect on £2 players always getting the random £50's out of TShot when it was in a busy club...

It wont b enabled, I know this without even trying it. This particular arcade has all refill key slots deactivated and when u do put your refill key in all it will say is 'refill'.

I know the manager quite well and hes told me about a couple of people a few years back with refill keys, they days they were much more useful, and so has had the refill key slots put out of action. Everything is filled via the front door being opened.

Dont get me wrong, even though I said a force was on, it doesn't mean I've not been nailed a few times. I've put £170 through this and got £90 back and it was full first pound. I was lucky as the random £50 came right at the end.

In relation to the red JP, I doubt that this will ever repeat, I've had it more than 10 times and its never repeated, only time I have ever had a repeat is via a red board.
