£35 Jackpot update

**jjh** · 12th July 2007, 06:54 PM

I haven't posted on here for a while, been looking over the forums evey now and then but haven't found much on people's thoughts of the new £35 jackpot machines...

Played the fruitys for the first time in months yesterday. Had a relatively scary experience on one of the new £35 jackpot machines!

Playing with a mate, it was a Mazooma Hi Lo machine, it had three munchkin like faces on it which when all 3 were lit up gave 3 shots if you landed ona shot. Anyone played it?

Anyway, it was full from the off and fiest board offered up to £8 cash so I wanted to play on. We ended up £8 in each and he had to leave so I played on- no way I was leaving it now

I'd had a few drinnks and still had £100+ so probably not the best idea but I played on with an all out force.

It actually offered Super Streak and even Mega Streak (is this £20+ on £35 jackpot machines????) and after £43 in offered a Super Skill Stop which I assumed would be worth jp at least.

I played on and decided to get it offering SSS a few times to tr yand see if it would come back when I finally got a Monster Streak,as it was called

I got to £60 in and was starting to get a bit worried as I've never played a £35 jp and thought this could take forever to force out. But it dropped the streak after another £2 and it went for £45, so £10 more than jp. I played on to see if the SSS wold come back (not a chance

) so ended up collecting a £7 board and left it about £12-£15 down.

So not bad in the end, but it was definetely a new experience. What are your experiences on the new £35 jp machines, any horror stories of £100+ to get a jp etc???

Glad to be back posting BTW

wow! thats really confusing!!!!

Now in my opinion some 35ers are not that bad, some make me look back to the days when 15's went to 25 ie Card Shark, where the block was the same but didnt cost too much more to do. But then there are alot of machines now that dont carry the programme such as the JJ clones which seem to offer 1,2 quid all the time if dead. 50p has also ruined some m/c's numbers in view seems good but not all the time on certain ones such as the 6% extra. I've had a few 2nite but ill elaborate 2moz as i need to get the missus into bed if you know what I mean...

Ok, so i understand what you are saying regarding buy in fees.

But what do you guys think of rebuys?

Do you usually play cash or tourney poker?

Why dont you play the weekly forum game, Its a larf.

More poker discussion to follow....

Thanks for the replies guys, made me realise why I stopped posting on here for a while in the first place...

I played the Deal or No Deal machine today- has a normal feature but multiple win lines like a typical hi lo machine. £27 in and 2 boards, the best offered £2....

I've played dead machines before but this was ridiculous as someone had lost about £20 in it just before me. This particular £35jp machine is close to being illegal IMO

How can a machine take over jp amount and offer just over 5% of the total jp???? I said to myself £10 more just to try and get something back and it offered £12 before hitting a mystery after a further £3 in so I collected and ran!

But seriously, I'll never play that machine again, there's just no fun to it at all- a couple of spins round the feature before landing on mystery- one time it span straight to mystery- on the very first press! For £20+, you may as well just bang the lot on a favourite in a horse race and double up- saves a lot of time and at least you might get some excitement if it is a close race!

The would be a power 5 then

**Gambogaz1** · 20th July 2007, 10:10 PM

No sounds more like the walk of wealth. Power 5 has got a 2 tier feature board, walk of wealth has got a basic square feature board.
