Voodoo machines- bad for forcing?

[jjh]

Found one for the first time today, called 'Cash Collector'. You need to get 3 '£' signs on the winline for the super feature. It was about £10 short from full and on the force it went well, cashpot kept going up to around £15, and cash/feature stacks went just short of jp. Yet after £45 in it was really blocking bigtime- I needed to light one more colour for Mega Series but it just wouldn't go. In the end I gave up and collected £18 cashpot then took £8 from the next board and left it at a loss.

I've heard on the forum that it uses the same technology as BFM so I presume they are bad for forcing? Anyone got any advice on how to play them and know if they do use the same blocking software as BFM or whatever? First time I had seen the machine and thought I'd give it a go, prob never will again though...

I have to admit that I know very little about this manu. I tried a search for their website and it seems that it is currently under construction.

However, as u previously said, they are in partnership with bellfruit which indicates forcing may well prove to be unsuccessful the majority of the time. If you could get a list together of some of the machines they have produced then I maybe could be of more help.

I can remember playing a voodoo macine and thinking that was the first time I had come across one, or maybe that was the only time I took notice? So I do have some experience on them, all be it limited.

This was the first one I had seen. It looked shit to be honest with you but it was backing after £10 in and offering good amounts so I tried the force, only to read on here afterwards that voodoo work in conjunction with BFM or something, which as you said, is not a good sign lol.

Cash Factor is one of theirs
I found it alright got £8 on the cash repeat which did repeat then I took a couple of red features for small wins between £3 - £5. Didn't seem like the kind of machine to force

from what i remember they are good for forcing... easily £75 if you know what ur doing. machines i remember of theres are:

Jackpotter
Cash Factor
Sharp Shooter
Fever Pitch
One Step Beyond

[jjh]

Yeah it was Cash Factor, not Collector like I said.

Fruity_ Expert, could you explain the easily £75 'if you know what you're doing' cos I was forcing the only way you can from a backing and playing very well machine from the off, and it was seriously blocking at around £15 to £18.

Voodoo use BFM cab and technology but are part of the Global brigade... I'd be very suprised if one of their next games isn't 'beaver las vegas uncovered millionhare edition' or some other clone. Has anyone noticed that Global are now ripping off Red?

Played a few Voodoo games - all terrible especially earlier games like Jackpotter and one step beyond. Cash Blast seems to be a rip of Barcrests blue/red trail games.

I like your style Skillcash, lol.

As for the major blocking - that must be a sign that the machine is strecthing the streak bank that little bit more so it can pay the biggy.

Early voodoo games used to block at £15 and a few high blocks later it will force a red game on you.

What have global ripped off?

Cash Blast isnt as good as all fired up i must admit.

Cheers mate, I'll see how it goes next time if I catch it like that again!

Globals 'Treasure Quest' I think it's called is clearly a rip of Crazy Cobra et al.
