This
has already been renamed CRAPPY FRUITS in our club after two weeks, because no
one else can win on it (he he!). I have played this twice until today (22/7/98)
and these were the results. The first attempt was based on the fact that the
machine had been in my club for a week and had loads of money stuffed through
it and it did not seem to want to pay a win over £30.00. I forced it,
refusind the features (and collecting £1.00 when a feature rolled in),
and only holding Bells on or above the winline. After putting £80.00 I
managed to get 3 bells on the winline and after a hold the other one dropped in
for the jackpot. Today I played it again. The past week was pretty much the
same with machine just sucking people dry of their money and offering very
little entertainment to the average joe. I played the same way gambling all
wins on the hi-lo until they lost and just holding the bells. After putting in
£120.00 it climbed out on the hi-lo. This is the hi-lo in the middle of
the feature board, not the gamble on the win amounts on the right (like on
other BFM machines). It mainly gave me quite nice numbers up to about £10
but after that I was getting a lot of 5,6,7,8 numbers until I got to £50
(one before the jackpot) and it gave me a 1, so I couldn't lose. So in two
attempts I am £300 up.
For those who do play the feature board I
recommend that when the SUPERBOARD goes over £100 that you try to get the
jackpot from the SHOTS. If you don't get it early in the shots then take a
small win and force the machine as above. The fact the cash has gone over 100
is telling you the jackpot is available so just hold the bells and wait for
them to nudge in. If you don't do this you may find when the cash gets over 200
you are given 'spin a win' and forced into taking 140 or so.
