This is one of the more difficult
BFM’s to take the cash pot out of. I used to play one on a ferry regularly
and it would always cost me about £150 to get the £150 cash pot.
The afterplay was very good though, sometimes as much as another £150.
This comes from exchanging the feature across to a ‘snake’ which
moves around a money grid. The speed of the snake is an indication of how well
it is playing, the slower the better. If you are prepared to see it out you
then have a high chance of potting it but there will be few times when you wish
you hadn’t started. There is always a chance of getting the jackpot on the
nudges feature. I believe it is this feature that makes the climb so difficult.
You can put a lot of money in and not even climb pass the 6 NUDGES feature but
this machine is very unpredictable. I have had the £150 on nudges after
the cash pot. Nearly always you can ‘buy’ the cash pot and make your
money on the afterplay. You must be prepared to put in at least as much as the
value of the jackpot and therefore if you do play one you must be in a club
which will do a refill because the total you can take out is more than it
holds. But remember, if you do get the cash pot cheaply it is unlikely there is
much afterplay.
