Holey Moley - today.
Played a fiver through on Mega Spin expecting the usual 1 or 2 reds upon feature entry and got exactly that. Colected a couple of toggles to get a bit back, only then to notice this machine had 50p stake option. I switched over and the board lit up all but 1 red onmy next feature. Next feature was similar so I decided upon a force.
It took about £40 to go for a flat £25 then the signs weren't good for the follow up top boards. I collected 2 £15 then it lit up red again so I gambled for top off the next high win and got the other £50.
My first ever top feature of a Holey Moley, nice throwback in the way it does it to JPM's adders/snakes and ladders top feature with all that swirling around before landing on a cash value.
Then went over to the Life's a Beach which was showing but stubborn, about £55 in for a £75 top then dead dead dead. I was offered red fly the flag twice before the top feature, one quite early on...would you have taken this? I guess I'm hoping too much that it's like a seperate pot to the top ?
I only ask because I got a £50 top one another LAB the other week which then offered red fly the flag which repeated for another £50 which I thought was unusual.

personally i would have taken the red FTF if offered early on as this can be a generous feature, most times ive taken it early on it will either do £50+ or do a £25 then roll from that...

I never take red FTF unless its after a top.

Think to yourself.....if its willing to give you £25 through FTF, but is blocking the top feature for longer, it can't really be wanting to give the same amount. If it wanted red FTF to do £75s, then it'd let you have the top through hi/lo gambles at the same time.

Just out of interest why did you collect 2 £15s?

There's a huge £10 block on these style reds, and once you are past there its all but there for a top. £15 can lose now and then, but isn't really a block amount (£5/£10). I can't say i've ever taken £15 from any red of this series and style of play. The only reds i'd take £15 from are the steps/nudges ones, where the block is at £15, but you can still get offered £15 after a £75 top!
