cant really help with that particular machine but i can try explain forcing (or at least what i think it is):

Forcing is simple. All you have to do is collect absolutely nothing until it offers the jackpot or the top feature. That is it in a nutshell but there are other things to consider. Some machines offer features that will give jackpot long before it offers the actual jackpot/ top feature. Some examples are super hold on big cheese (i think), bull's hit & reel KO (YDD/BFU), knocking on seven's door (nuns & roses). If you are good at skill features or know some of the tricks to these features it MAY be worth collecting these and taking the JP and walking away. Other machines may have anti-force software and while im not quite sure how these work, it basically makes forcing un-profitable in the short run, maybe offering you a JP without repeat after £30 - £40 in. Other machines may even throw a random JP win at you to level out their %. Also some machines (reds especially) have "safe cash" bonuses where you are GUARANTEED a win on a particular board, so as a result can give you £3-£4, slowing down the whole forcing process.

Personally i tend to play just for the force, but i only play machines that i know are succeptable to forcing AND are showing good signs early on. Unfortunately I couldnt even begin to explain what "good signs" are as it varies drastically depending on the machine/manu/previous win history etc, you just have to play the machines, get to know how they work, maybe taking a short term loss to help towards a long term gain.

If you are going for a force on a particular machine, id recommend making sure you know these facts before you try:

1. The manufacturer. This can help a great deal. As a general rule, machines from the same manufacturer tend to play similar at a very basic level. Work out one and its easier to work out the next one.

2. How is it playing? Put in a few quid, see what values the first few boards offers you. If theres nothing above £2, take what you can and walk. Apart from that you just have to use previous experience to wrk out whether the machine is really worth forcing from that point.

3. Features. Are there any JP-possible features? Search the forums on here...make a post if you need to. Im sure someone will help you out.

4. Cash. Some times it can take A LOT of £s before top feature is offered. Be prepared to panic as you put in £50 with no return. Know what the top feature is likely to offer- does JP ever repeat? whats the most a MS has gone for? things like that.

If you are going to force a machine my advice really is be prepared, be sensible, and be careful you dont pick the wrong one at the wrong time.

I hope this helps and if any of the other more experienced players would like to correct me, back me up, elaborate on what ive said or tell me im talkin outta my back-side then feel free

Money Madness. Seen a few of these about, QPS I think...

I've never really commited to forcing on these but one thing I have noticed from the cash shots is that values like to repeat a lot- £5 may repeat a couple of times and have had £2 repeat upto £16! It is a lot more generous on repeats than most machines about these days.

As for forcing I couldn't really say, I'd only risk it if playing extremely well from the beginning as I'm not sure what the mega streak would be on this machine.

If playing well then you find that it is blocking and say the cashpot won't go over £15, try collecting a £5 repeat chance or something- usually the machine can afford to payout but due to anti force software will prevent a jp- taking a repeat chance should give you something then hopefully next board value will add your bank upto jp value or more...
