Which machine(s) never play ball for you ?

**kidgloves** · 4th October 2007, 08:15 PM

I'm sure there are machines out there that we all play, no matter how much you know what they *should* do, they just never seem to play ball.
I'm not talking about crappy BFM profiles where you've played all night for no JP, that you expect unless you're forcing, but more the streak pot machines that can be unlocked after a JP or top feature.
The machines I never seem to get any luck on might seem unusual to some but that's the whole point, I'm sure it will be different for all of us...first up is Red's Crazy Cash Point....so so many positive reports on the net about this and although I've played them many times, I've hardly ever found one buzzing.
My other frustrating machines are older...either Dambuster or Italian Job 2. There were lots of these around a few years back, but to this day I've only ever had 3 or so actually streak off the JP. Compare that to dozens more streaks if you are talking about Pick your Peso's or Royal Roulette, even though it's the same basic profile.

A few months ago i'd have disagreed with you about CCP but the only 1 i've got left is rarely ready nowadays. For me it's
Fun Nudgin Criminals is just always dead and thats 3 of em
Happy Campers - Now i'm doing alright off them but even from a ready looking machine they always seem to take £50 at least so then i'm relying on the repeat.

Doctors and nurses is the only extreme of that series with which i have never had a top feature go more then £25. Round the bend, Happy Campers, most daunting I have had either the £50 or £75 but never on a D&N. I have had the JP repeat but never the top feature

I have to agree with you Kid on crazy cash point although I haven't played them too often I can never seem to get a decent run out of them

I have had the D&N 75 top at least 3 times (once with nudge manip), but never on the others! Wonder if it is spiritual guidance or summat lol

Yeah, fun nudgin' criminals and Lucky Devil are very frustrating to play when ready. Without the numbers x8 option the £10+ wins don't come off nudges half as much as on other Red's. The plus side is the gamble often goes when you do get one because it's so buzzed by then, or number runner is more frequent, again only because it get's so buzzed.

Holey Moley does it for me, still one or two floating about, no matter which way I play it, always hit a brick wall...

This is a good thread
Holy Moley is oneof mY Favs not many about my area know though. One of the best 50p mega spin machines IMO

CCP should really be going down as one of reds all time best IMO, simply a superb machine. Never seemed to get a mass release like some others though (for example show me the mummys are all over the place here now, only ever had one CCP which went months ago). Reminds me of Flash Cash in a way, gret machine that just never got that widely distributed.

Machines that annoy me at present are Gold Rush/Return Of The Jackpots etc. Only ever made on these a handful of times chasing from seemingly glaringly ready, only for it to take forever to go in, or not run very well. Open The Box is also one of the worst machines to come out in recent years, how the mighty barcrest have fallen. Reds are still superb, any panther clones (cluedo included) are 8/10 profit, and of course any extreme (barring muncher) is more than welcome.
