Round The Bend Help

**anfield road** · 24th January 2006, 02:41 PM

Right I have being meaning to ask about this for a while but have only recently played it and remembered to ask, well here it goes.

Is there any streak in this? as I play this and almost every board gives the taps for the middle board and gives around 5 super spins.

The cash pot often reaches £4 - £8 and I always end up collecting some feature which is usually quite close to the boiling streak (top feature i guess).

Anyway on NYE I played it and it was offering £10+ cash every board and I was on the super feature and got a bonus (No Lose) and a skill stop on an 11 so thought well I can get a tap go higher to a 12 and go lower for IM, I did this and it would not offer the Super Spins to get the Boiling streak.

Anyway carried on and landed on cash and gained JP and then no repeat, next board nothing just dead, board after dead, same again and after another £15 in gave a £11 feature.

I was wondering how to tell if this machine is ready to drop as I remember the Double Dragon by Extreme and if this was showing signs a force was effective as top feature never stopped on £25 and usually gave £50 or £75 with huge after play to get around £100 every time.

But this Round The Bend which we have in too places now is usually not worth the time for me, so is there any way of knowing when to force or playing for the streak etc?

Thanks again

is this the one similar to doctors and nurses? because on the IM, I've had £75 every time with afters, but a normal JP without goin IM goes a flat £25

From my experience its a real bugger of a machine to play and isnt worth a force, never had more than £25 from either boiling point or JP, I'm probably just playing it wrong but cant be bothered to put the effort in.

No lose from a bonus after landing on a 4th tap with an 11 seems to be the easiest way to get a pot/boiling point, seems to give ultra obvious blocks all the time though, and how they have the nerve to have EXTREMEly crappy features close to the middle that usually give a fiver is beyond me.

Tried a force a couple of times and even after backing and offering £6 from the first quid seems to always give a flat £25 on boiling point.

Had a repeat pot from Most Daunting (clone with a very fitting title!(also seen it repeat on multiple occasions too)) and seen top features always go for a flat £25 so maybe JP's are the best thing to collect on these....

I would say the JP rpt on these is quite good compared to others that is.
Boiling hot is not as good as it seems I have never had over £25 on it but have heard it can do £75. I usually play for JP off Nudges as this seems to be the easiest way

If you get IM and take boiling hot/JP try this method on the next few boards. What you are hoping/aiming for is to build nudges upto about 5+ then land on +2/3 nudges while your number reel is on 1/12 or 2/11 with a no lose or Extra Life. So now you should have 7+ nudges, you then need to shuffle them and see if it gives a decent setup. Usually it will shuffle to the amount you have and leave a decent win 2 or 3 nudges away but you know that you can gamble for 2/3 more.
Doesn't have to be JP you can also quite easily get £10/15 doing this aswell.

Sounds like a good little steal there, as I have noticed that nudges can go upto 10+ when its playing good.

The 11 Bonus means a manipulated pot, usually get it first spin for no lose when superboard is already open. You should just push for the top if you know what to look for the first board.

So thats probably why is was a flat £25 becasue it was not ready?, after all it was blocking on £15 for quite a while and I found it really strange that it just gave the IM through 11 bonus etc

I'm still yet to get anything more than £25 on either Round the Bend or Doctors and Nurses. I know there is a £75 run in these, but i can never seem to hit it! It's got so bad i daren't really force one now in fear of only getting £25 back!

Best for a quick steal now in my view.....£8 boards aren't too uncommon in my experiences on these.
