    Default One drink turned into gambling binge

    Well due to lack of funds recently, Ive been trying to cut out/cut down playine fruities cos wen i get pissed i get stupid with my money...

    Anyways i finished work at four, went down my local for a pint or two, only to find two new machines in there. Tried my beer change in one of them, its a new maygay called roulette sumthing. Got on the board, then the feature board where you guess red or black on the roulette wheel. For every number you get correct you get that number x 10p and three guesses gives you a bonus. Green square is "add streak". Anyway i guessed red....green for add streak i thought nice, bout £5-8. Guessed black...add streak, then black again add streak for mega streak, £25 for £4! Played a bit more for another £10 out.

    Decided ok i can afford a little flutter on another machine, avoided the other new one (bfms Dough ho ho) and went on DNA. Cut a long force short after bout £30 in got £60 out! So thought ok ill try the new one. Offering superboard from the off, forced it got £55 out. Its a bout this point that i lose track of how much i put in cos i was gettin pissed by this point (hadnt eaten).

    Went to another pub on the way home where they have a never mind the jackpots so i figured id see how it was doing, SSS method if it seemed worthwhile. So started playing, bout fourth board in (when im still trying to work out if its worth it) and third feature shot gives MS for £25. Played a bit more and its about as dead as C.Ronaldo in central Manchester.

    Sooooo... feeling merry, and lucky (god knows why) so go to another pub with a GZWI and a top giza. GZWI gives red MS pretty early on, top giza becomes a nervous force and eventually get £50 or so out. Go next door to wetherspoons with a Throw a wobbler. Another nervous force for red series £58.

    Over the road to a chav (but friendly) pub. Do a DNA and a Pay cheque. Then it all goes (a tiny bit) tits up.

    Go to a pub that i try and avoid normally (someone got stabbed there). Three machines: Space raiders, spin when ur winning and pay cheque (again). MS from space raiders (cudnt remember how to tell if its chipped so didnt bother with the free win). Then spin when your winning. Sum chav comes up to me (and u can tell wots coming...)

    "I just put £60 in that"

    I was thinking erm thanx for that...but he wudnt leave. Get superboard...two red disks...finally use a "move" to get the last red disk. Cant remember wot mega spins gave but this bloke was kinda menacing and im on my own and not exactly the biggest bloke so offer to buy him a drink. The mother F*cker gets four aftershocks! Left him to it, tried paycheque. He comes over again "put £80 in that". Forced it and won in the end and the bastard says "i want a fiver of that". Feeling brave now i just snort and say "you'll be lucky mate". Then he repeats his "request", puffs his chest out and glares at me. I collect the winnings, thrust a fiver at him as i push past him and left.

    Got home worked out that id forced or got lucky on 12 different machines in 6 different pubs! not bad when i started off with £12!

    Best nite of gambling id had in a while, especially as i was gna stay in! My local trek has enabled me to come up with a list of points to remember for myself when i do go gambling....

    1. Dont expect this luck everytime.
    2. Spent friday nite alone cos of my addiction. That aint a good thing.
    3. Avoid murder pub...Thats the BELL in RUISLIP GARDENS if anyones interested.
    4. £100 pounds in coins is heavy! Change some of it up at the bar.
    5. No-one around my area seems to play fruities as much as i do.
    6. Avoid all these machines for at LEAST a week (see point 5 for the reason)

    Can anyone think of any other points to remember? just to help me out

    LOL, sounds like a nice gamble run- not something I'd be doing on me own on a Friday night, more like a Wednesday or Sunday afternoon when the pubs are quite etc...

    As for giving a chav money, I'd tell him to fucking shove it, wouldn't bother playing in there mate if I was you lol...if I knew he was on his own I would have hooked the **** lol!!

    So anyway, going back to the SSS method, you get it offering SSS a few times then collect Red Mega off starting off the SSS bonus or normally- b4 hoping the SSS comes back?

    jjh - as far as i kno SSS method is thus: knock back a few sss (at least three) by stopping it low then killing yourself on the board. Then aim to get on the board normally (WITHOUT using sss). Shud give red MS. After, play for bonus (4th space on trail obviously). SHOULD (but wont always) give sss again. Only an idiot cant stop it on the £25 / MS

    As said above, just wedge the button when you get sss, no need to enter the feature at all. Take note that Mega Streak can take anything from £5-£30ish to get after the sss, newer versions seem harsher. In my view it makes no odds taking Mega Streak on red or normal, if it's going to pay, it's going to pay.
    Sometimes it can be hard actually getting the bonus square no.4 after the Mega Streak and you find that you are forced onto the board via a win or trail entry before you get a chance at the bonus square. If this happens, it's quite easy to tell if the board is a good one as generous features/cash amounts will be on offer. Sometimes the machine will land on Mega Streak off this board anyway, and that's your Superskillstop value gone. If it's a crap board then sss *can* come back on then bonus afterwards.
    I had a weird one on an Abracadbra the other day, got the Mega Streak for a flat £25. Next hit the sss but missed it and hit the £25, gambled up for Mega and lost, entered feature which gave Mega anyway. Normally if you have a flat £25 off the first Mega it'll do a £30 on your sss Mega, this one did a weird £65 off the second Mega with good afters. Never thought they streaked off the second sss Mega Streak.

    I dont believe it makes a difference whether or not you take it off the board. It is often cheaper to just knock a few then hit it on SSS and it still comes back quite often.

    p.s my mate says he's had £75 from a red super streak twice anyone seen or heard of this?
