Cops 'n' Robbers (BFM)

[JACK-POT]

Does anyone know how to play this machine, as I evidently don't. Was in my local today and had a good touch out of a magic 10 (3 sevens three times) and a good wedge out of all three party times (a classic) and with my 'float' had a decent bankroll. Had never really played it before but is seemed identical to the monopoly next to it which I do play and normally do ok on.
£1 in and first go on the feature gets up to about 6 or 8 quid and after about three ? squares kills me, was playing quite good and within a tenner was on the super feature and was offered £15 repeater on the cash pot (how i wish i had taken that - wonderful thing hindsight eh?). Then i made a fatal error I decided that I would play it like the monopoly one and force it for the jackpot, big mistake.
It just ate more and more pound coins and although it was letting me on the super feature over 50 times and spinning in small wins I was never offered more than about £18 repater or £20 cash. At this point I had put in £200 and collected £0 I couldn't believe it. I then put in another £50 and it seemed to offer even worse wins! Eventually I got bored and frustrated and in the end just collected a £15 repeater .
I thought this might convince the machine to go on a streak on medium sized wins or something, the £15 didn't even repeat! Machine then seemed to play worse and I just collected a few £8-£15 wins and got a £12 to repeat once and built the bank up to about £70 or £80 I couldn't believe how harsh it was being. Collected the bank all out and about to move when I saw add 10p to play, I can never resist that 4 credits for a pound just like the good old days.
Three holds on swag bags get feature says go all the way and just gives me the jackpot and repeats it twice for £75. Why then I have no idea. The machine then dies. End up with about £125 half my money.
Any advice, cheats, tips or hints for this machine would be greatly appreciated so i and others can play it again without our wallets being raped. I am guessing though it is not a good idea to force this one.
As it turned out though not a bad day all in all, in desperation I turned to my favourite s16 rainbow riches, which rewarded me £60-70 in with 11 rainbow riches symbols in view for a £300 win putting me £167 up for the day, not bad for a 'day of rest'. Sorry to ramble on, any help much appreciated - cheers.

When you said £200+ in I thought you meant the club version until I read further on

Never heard of a £25jp machine holding out that long but obviously it happened to you. Although, trying to force a BFM is always trouble if you ask me

Just advice in general for BFm, if they're playing well then one of the best ways to win is to collect a few wins and take advantage of how well it is playing to build a bank.

The software doesn't let you force the value out, it is often triggered by collecting a £3 win or something, you could be there all day forcing a BFM, then on another occasion, collect a £2 repeat which repeats 8 times followed by a jp board and then some more!!

I wrote a fucking bible last night, just for me to accidentally click BACK on my browser and lose it so thought fuck it!

Anyhow to recap what I think I wrote...

You aint rambling on JACKPOT its a great thread. £200 through a CNR AWP (clone of monopoly) isn't unusual. I dont think you read the signs before going on?

While BFM's are living proof of in a punters view, the best machine layouts/graphics/gameplay, the profiles are absolutely shite.

I once forced the same one from backing, knocking back everything, I pumped £158 into a backing one once too just to come back with £127 after banking and a couple of JPs.

Nightmares.
