This
is one of the most common club machines you'll ever see. It's quite fun to play
if you're the occasional punter and can be quite rewarding if you're a Pro. The
machine is trail based, has a CP and JP and also has some simalarities with a
machine out after it called Royal Flush/Ace of Clubs.
How to Play:
Obviously it should be backing, and have had at least £100-£150 in
the cash box; this can be tricky to know for sure so good timing regarding
refill days/play etc. is vital.
Basics: Don't bother holding number
reels as you normally enter the trail via a gamble on x3 cherries or x3 grapes.
I find it better to get onto the trail holding LOW fruits as you want to start
with the cash column as LOW as possible and whilst on the trail keep it that
way. So if you land on '?' and stop on BONUS pick Spins. Play for the 30 Spins,
just keep going round the board, keep the cash column as low as possible. If
offered the top feature - the one before the Cashpot DON'T take it unless for
afterplay - it normally pays less than the Spins. If you get Bombastic at any
time while playing for the Spins take the LOWEST value lit column. You will
normally find that even if quite high on the feature column you can still get
quite a low cash amount. Do all the above until you get offered the 30 Spins,
needless to say if you still have the Extra life carry on. 30 Spins should pay
between £60 to £110 although some mates of mine have seen it pay as
low as £42. If getting the 30 cost you more than you get from it i.e. you
put in £90 and the spins paid £65 its sometimes a good idea to play
another £15-£20 through as quite often it will offer either top
feature, 10-15 spins or a possible nudge for £75 on the bells. This is
almost certainly true if a lot was spent on getting the Spins. Once when I put
though about £190 (due of course to a refill/bad timing) to get
£105 on 30 spins I carried on with another £20 and took the
£75 on nudges so ended up only £25-£30 down. Lucky escape!
Some good signs on this machine are 1) Spinning in 3 of a kind by itself 2)
giving LOW exchanges i.e. £3 and below 3) Giving 10 Winspins in the Spins
column before killing you.
The basic idea is to play for 30 Winspins
and if you're lucky and have good timing you'll sometimes get the JP or CP.
BEWARE! The CP and reserve fill-up quite quickly and in an average to busy club
will normally drop a CP about 12 - 14 days after the last one dropped. This is
a common amount of time in my experience on JPM's.
A few notes
1)
The JP or CP will NOT gamble out.
2) The only common 4 of a kind win to
drop in by itself after holding 3 of a kind is £10 (X4 Cherries).
3)
It loves to lose on 12,11 and 2, 1's.
4) 6's and 7's are 19 times out of 20
'LOSE'
5) The JP or CP are not generally forcible. The 30 Spins however is.
6) After loosing Extra Life you have one GUARANTEED spin where you will not
die.
7) The Jackpot normally comes out on the Spins column.
8) The only
difference between Casino Crazy and Caesers Palace is the letters you need to
light and the numbers on the reels.
9) If you light the 1st word of the
machines title + 1 letter - i.e. CASINO C or CAESERS P you will 9/10 times go
to the trail.
Afterplay 4 out of 5 times there is afterplay on this for
£15 to £20 in. It will either give after a CP or JP 10 Spins or
more or sometimes if you're really lucky £75 on nudges or top feature.
See my comment above about afterplay on taking 30 spins.
