This
machine is based on the £10 AWP machine and is little bit better. In my
experience of playing it, it is not difficult to climb to the Bank Buster
feature (the biggest prize I have seen is £100, but usually the the most
is £40) but it is difficult to climb up the jackpot. The Hi-Lo has an
annoying habit of winning on the middle numbers and then losing on 10’s
and 3’s. Exchanging keys for shots at either a cash amount or a feature is
usually a non-event. The best cash to hit is the £10 repeat which, I am
told, usually pays £40 and this seems to be the biggest win you can get
from this machine unless it decides to bung you the jackpot, which is paid out
at a randomtime.
As with most Barcrest machines you cannot force the
cash pot out. I have played this machine in test mode and found that the
program probably does not usually let you climb to the £250, though I
have seen it gambled out once, all on middle numbers. The simplest tip for this
machine is to try a fiver in it. If you are offered 3, 4, or 5 pound wins it is
likely it will not cost much to climb to the bankbuster. Regarding the gamble,
occasionally this machine will nudge in £50 or £75. My advice is
always gamble to the jackpot, I have never seen the gamble lose from here. The
numbers on the hi-lo reel are irrelevant at this time.
