hate you pony express

**richienotsorich** · 10th August 2005, 02:36 PM

hey fellow gamblers, this pony express is presenting problems for me, weird red trail??? reminds me of lotta luck fruity . dunno if this is im when trail goes into board on red, i dunno cos it has never happened just teasing me, does it help to go for a bonus on 4 if red trail as you could get in off the bonus?? i have heard something about a skill stop repeating it over and over is this true.

. also some young lad keeps coming into my local pub with side splitter in it, every day with out fail he seems to nail jp in about 10£ in around 10 mins, what does he know that we don't!!!!??? any help would be appreciated if sensitive PM me. cheers all.

Try using the search function, plenty of info on this machine, recently discussed in the Newbie section too.

As for sidesplitter, I dont know anything on this really, I've tried force before, took £60 backing, highest offer was 18.50 on supermeter, I do know that SS and its clones, can take boost to get off question mark also if you are on superboard, and it offers the same amount on the cash side, take the cash stack for next board back onto superboard.

Pony Express....

Getting in off a red trail will automatically give you an IM. Play for bonuses by all means! Personally, i tend to find the red trails repeat more....though that could just be my experiences.

Hitting the skill square is pointless, your betting off going for +3 cash or a show for extra life. It bounces after level 6 or so usually anyway. Adds red cash on after about level 7 i think.

MattB said it all, but sometimes if happy it will go to skill 7 and then give a cancel again on skill 8 and so on...

I tried a little force on SS the other day, it seems to block a hell of a lot- I was £30 in and it offered about £15 on the meter, I took that as my money was running out, then next board gave me £20 off crazy cash feature- seemed to be true skill as well.

thanks to danny c, mattb and justanewone, some sound advice from my other thread too, i was playing pony express yesterday afternoon , seemed to be on the pay i only had a few squid left cos i bought a pint and chucked it in the fruity, was taken small wins avoiding the game over, not even spinning once round the board before collecting wins, on about the 4th time on the board i immediately took 2 shots which i already had, not a great deal came up, hit start and landed on a bonus, hit it and it said GOING RED and all the features on the board went red, looked at the logo that wasn't flashing or red so was puzzled whether this was a sneaky im , i pushed it a bit got a mystery, hit it, extra life (yay) lost it straight away had super cash gamble red, was worryingly close to the game over so i buckled (faggot) took it. got a 10er but afterwards thought i should have pushed it all the way, does anyone know if when that happens it is im

Going red indicates that all features are super, this is definitely not an IM.

**richienotsorich** · 11th August 2005, 05:02 PM

thanks crazy jimmy, thought it was too good to be true glad i grabbed the tenner when i could!!

**MattB** · 11th August 2005, 07:48 PM

If it's an IM, the logo will turn red, and youll only land on the + cash squares so that it goes all the way up to the £25. IMs always have a repeat chance too.

was playing NMTJ at lunch, got slicka picka of three holds in a row with the red lines, picked a board where the middle was open already, seemed very happy so i pushed it, got jp of the cashpot straigh away, hitting 10 on the centre board etc... got 3 red ANARCHY symbols after, so i carried on on the features to get mega streak red. i had only put in 6 quid so was chuffed but didn't know whether to take the cashpot repeat chance or mega red would be better, i took mega red and i gave me 35 bucks, i had some in the bank already so made a tidy 40 odd quid, do you think that i should have taken the red streak or the cashpot. i figured that cashpot could sting me for just 25. i dunno. i dumped the machine after took all the money and left, does this one streak do you know? i thought it would try and suck a 10er out of me before doing anything else, has any one got any tips for when this one does go on how to play it.
