Hmmm what a good machine this is..

I know some others will rant on about using search so I wont bother but I will give you a couple of pointers (in no particular order)

- Keep an eye out for JP from golden hold.. it offers this when it might not be offering JP from anything else

- If offering £5+ from shots (Apparently doesnt apply on newer chips) then its certainly worth a force for JP. [Be careful your not picking up the back end of a streak though]

- Knocking back a couple of JPs/IM's (£10-£20 worth) 'seems' to trigger a streak more often than not.

Other than force and GH 'steal' there isnt much more too it.. the rest of the features are really crappy with Win Series topping out at about £15-£20 usually.

The three features on the top are not really worth fack all either and I cant even remeber what they are but ones a selection from £7, £10 and £25 the other being a reel skill stop and one being a win streak.. (I think but dont quote me on this).

And yes.. use search

Clones I have lost count of but what srpings to mind are:
Big Cheese and Hot Rocks but there are some more

One of the best of the series from Barcrest, Easy to read and I don't think there are many chips to this around, actually I dont think there are many of theese around on £25 at all its more the Big Cheese which are around in the pubs.

If the machine is full and offering £4 I tend to go for it and just force, always check for the golden hold which usually comes from a reel win of £1 like Scotty said.

I have never knocked a JP/IM off on this but after Scotty said I think I will, do you mean collect a £1 on the IM or just turn off and on?

It really is a simple machine all as you have to do is keep pressing start when on the board, the JP will 80% of the time come from IM or Golden hold.

Plus if the machine wass offering £3 and gave JP off Golden hold chance is it wont run

On IM just take goldenhold and hold 3 different fruit that will knock it back.

Also reset the fucker anyway see if its a P1.. I doubt it though. If so JP is free from bonus nudges or Win Series is on IM.. one of the two I lose track.

you sure on that? i think il try it

but if it only goes £50 im still realistically gonna be down anyway if i knock them for £20, still thats gotta be better than forcing a super star about 20 fuckin times in the last week for not even a sniff of a streak

and yeah i have been taking jp's everytime and not the 'super win streak' so when that was offered i plugged everytime and getting nowhere, i expect when it does 'run' it will be the the £100 as it hasnt done it in about 3 months

, im losing faith in these shits now

after all how many forces on everage is it gonna take you to hit that streak?? at least 2 or 3 realistically and for each on your gonna lose about £10 even when showingso say your down 30 over a few days and you force again, it holds back that little while longer and you get the 75 for 50 in, your still down £5

. mind you im not complaining when i fluke £100 inside £10

or £75 from £6. ps something strange happened to me on a p2 fantaztec the other day while playing the method, i had super hold next and held 2 jps only to find the other rolled in in view followed by a 'go for gold' IM

, these jpms seem very easy for basic manipulation

New Machine? Makes no difference.

**Scott** · 16th November 2005, 07:01 AM

I disagree.. probably the reverse is true.

If its new and has payout at currently 100% (Nothing in - nothing out) and its a complete 125 (or 250) refill then you aint gonna know what the hells going on..

Will take a little bit through it for it to work its percentage out.

**bazeroon** · 16th November 2005, 12:13 PM

thanks a lot for the info guys but i think you have got bit confused with which machine it is.all gd tho because that helps.the top dog that i am talking about is a clone of battle axe and revoulution and golden dragon which when on feature you go hi-lo on the big wheel?
hope fully jogged your memories and info would be appreciated.

yes sorry scott, I got mixed up

Then it is you who is mistaken not us.

You say you want advice on Top Dog but tog dos is a two stage lap trail.

The machine you want into on is Top Gear. At least get your facts straight next time eh

This however is a much more complicated machine than just pressing Start on a top dog and waiting for the streak.
