Recent experiences slotto/DOND etc.

[casinox]

Party games slotto, everytime you get the screen full of 'carpets' (ie the mini fruit machines ON all 5 REELS) it was £500 or so I thought. Had it 4 or 5 times, last Saturday dropped them in at closing time after about 30 in. Pressed autoplay to complete my so-called success and saw fivers and mixed sevens for 2 on 3 of the machines, thought this a bit odd, one 'closed' down after 12 quid, I stood dismayed as got the grand total of 105 quid. Someone told me they had seen this happen once, but I assumed the person they saw was on maybe 50p or £1 a play. The person told me no, that it was £2 play they saw. Now I've seen it! Got it again Thursday lunchtime and it was £500 again.
DOND lat night in pub, tenner in 50p play, the version with the red logo on last reel where u can deal or no deal on the bonus, ie stopper/skill/feature entry. Lost a couple of spins on the £5 bar, then got on the board, noticed the logo flash at top, and got message 'best prize guaranteed' Not really familiar with this machine, so took the DOND feature, was red phones of course, and obviously cos was invincible I got offered 35 EVERY deal, regardless of boxes left, so I correctly assumed i could win the mega streak, which I did, gave £85 so well chuffed. Never seen more than 35 when NOT red phones.
Arcade again, pink panther, tenner in, first spin 3 diamonds £250, collected 200 out and played for 2 hours on the remainder, getting features for 30/40/50/80 about twice each, also got screen full of silly white mooses twice for 40 quid a time. After 2 hours the 50 left in finally ran out, it was weird playing that long on it, as if the machine was paying exactly 100%. Put 30 coins in, after 3 spins got the feature for 125, down to 93 and feature again, this time the lovely £500!
Stuck 20 quid in the riches 2 machines down, kept going between 10 quid and 70 quid on the same 20, 3 rainbows 181 silver pot. Went down to 73, was watching it on autoplay out of the corner of my eye, only going to it to do the lepachauns and wishing wells occasionally. I was concentrating on the other iches, with 500 gold pot, got bronze and silver on it, was about 140 into it when the gold pot came in, 560 in bank, called attendant to take it out and pay me in notes, was counting out ny 28 twenties when i looked at other riches on autoplay and saw 575 in bank! It must have dropped the first 4 lines plus one or two in for 400/410 or 425.
Pointed this out to attendant who sighed and did 570 in notes for me.
Well chuffed, 1400 up. In that HORRIBLE 'COMFORT ZONE' where you know, u have won so much u get complacent about what and how u play, knowing that with so much gained, you can't end up doing badly.
I did. Totally lost it. Panther was off, as was riches i had the unseen win on. Two left on, the riches I had the gold pot out of, plus party times slotto.
This was 3pm. By 5pm these 2 had taken my 1400 profit, plus my original 600 I came in with. I was absolutely gutted, almost shaking at my own stupidity. I went and withdrew 1000 with various cards, the most I could get. By 7.30pm I had 70 left. I needed this to go out plus get taxi home. On the slotto I was playing the 7's game. I changed it to reel King, numbly putting in a last 20 out of my 70. Down to 3 quid, this then dropped in a 50 win, built up to 121, plyed it down to 100 and collected, shaking with relief at the fact I could now comfortably afford to go out, and I was 3 quid away from an early night.
I had now £150 in total, stuck 40 in riches, (this had taken over a grand from me since the gold pot of 500, with no win over 35, gotten by the way on 3 leprachauns.)
Soon lost this 40, was down to my 70 again, stuck 'one more' 20 in, nothing, down to 50, if I lost any more it would be straight home. Red mist, another 20, down to 7 quid, 3 rainbows fell in in middle on bottom line. I actually whooped; the bronze was on 131, silver 201, and gold 363 (all built up by me from 250 since I got the 500) Got gold. Took 360 out, was given notes and in the 'comfort zone' as far as being skint for night out, lost 200 of it in reel king on slotto in 15 minutes. This bastard had now netted over 1800 from me in 5 hours. 40 more in it, to leave me with round 100, built up to 140 bank, collected. Meanwhile staff had filled up pink panther so stuck 20 in that, which built up to 100 despite me emptying it earlier.
Walked out with 340, feeling relieved, then gutted at the swing in one day from 1400 up to 1260 down. You think these things are random, in the true sense of the word? ARE THEY FVCK! HAVING PLAYED THESE FOR MONTHS NOW, BREAKING ABOUT EVEN OVERALL, I notice definite patterns in them. Rainbow riches, get the gold pot on 410-460, it FREQUENTLY comes out again soon after when on 253.xx. Seen it several times.
Party games slotto, get the 5 reel kings for 500, you will then build up to 525-550. SWITCH to normal 7's slotto AFTER collecting it out, within £100 YOU WILL WIN THE SCREEN FULL OF 7'S/ WILDS FOR 500, AT LEAST EVERY OTHER TIME.
I noticed also that people were saying in Mecca bingo the section 16's have been reduced to 4 machines, the linked pots on their 3 riches stopped, the tops taken off the machines so the bit with the rainbow wheel and leprachaun trail is gone, so if u win pot it just comes up in bank u don't know which one you win until it says, and all the stakes have been reduced to a maximum of £1 a spin.
COMMENTS? (on either my stupid lack of self control or the reduced stakes or the patterns in supposedly 'random' machines!)

[jeffvickers]

You claim to have BROKEN EVEN overall??

On Section 16s? Have you had a bar?

[badders]

for all section s16 players ... bit of advice there worse then before and is me or are they shipping in more multiplayers to get some money back

[S6TAV]

I mentioned a long time ago that S16 machines will be limited to 4 per location.
Laws have changed and the £1 stake is part of that. Category B3 is what they are now I think?

As for S16 with progressive pots you do know which pot you are getting you just dont know how much is in it till the machine tells you. No displaying it at the top anymore?

And the moral of the story is .........................

Pretty obvious i guess, bad luck mate, better next time eh

[Dux]

Have you had a bar?

To the head, it sounds like. Fuck me, mate,you need help.

[mashman]

I have had the 5 reel kings feature twice, one for £250 and the other for £145. If anyone else says "It has to go for jackpot" I will kill them....

Also, I have hardly been in the arcade this week, due to the 4 machines per shop rule. Also, £1 a spin and not seeing the progressive pots often stops the guys with loads of money playing them. There's not much going on in either of my 2 arcades these days....looks like the government have got what they wanted. Watch cigarette and petrol prices go up even more now tho.....
