This
is the predecessor of the Super Blackjack. It was also a good gambling machine.
I used to play one with a £150 jackpot and I would get the gamble by
gambling a win to £1.80 (two x1.5 on 80p) and then x3 to £5.40 then
again to £16.20, again to £48.60 and lastly to £145.80. The
machine used to gamble out easily because most punters would play for the
features and not consider a gamble.
One useful piece of info: if you
take the Jackpot by climbing to the top of the feature ladder you can still
gamble the jackpot out afterwards. This is called ‘TAKING IT OFF THE
TOP’ and there are a couple of newer machines which treat the jackpot as
‘FREE’. This machine never really showed any ‘signs’ of
playing well, but I wouldn’t consider it a dangerous machine for gambling,
in fact it was one of the first machines I really understood. I would often get
the jackpot very cheaply just playing it at weekly intervals.
