What a clever little chestnut this
machine is! If you have one of these in your area then you have some great
value indeed. I have placed this machine in the highest category because I have
never lost on one though it is possible if you hit one after a refill - but
unlikely. Usually when you find one of these, both pots are on the maximum.
This is because the cash pot must be reversed out. If you play with the odds on
the Hi - Lo reel you will nearly always be faced with a 5, 6, 7 or 8 when
gambling for the pot. If you reverse the climb two features before the pot you
will climb it out easily. It may seem daft going lower than a two or a three,
but believe me it comes in !
Once you have got the pot you have a hard
choice to make. Do you take the other pot out as well ? That’s right, the
second pot will come out as easily as the first and usually within a couple of
features of it. The only problem with this is the amount of time you may have
to wait before both cash pots are high again. I prefer to take just one pot and
about £50 in afterplay (this can come from reelmatching or exchanging
across for the cashtrail feature) since most people do not believe you can win
as much as you can from this machine. I had a £75 jackpot, 5p play
machine in my local football club last year and it was quite easy to take
£200 out of it for about £30.
