On my latest little play on the robbers that are current AWP's, I had the joy of playing Barcrest's latest DonD rip off, "Amazing".

It wasn't actually that unpleasant of an experience actually. But a couple of things it did "amazed" me (couldn't resist the shite pun). On the "Maze" feature, which is Deal or No Deal in disguise, it left me with £1 and £8. On BFM's robbing efforts this would have left an "offer" in the region of £2 - £4. On this, it was £7.79?? Why?

Then it gave me a "mega hint", as it calls it, which is only available if you play max stake. It told me that the Maze win was now guaranteed to be £8! WHY TELL ME THAT!!!! I HAD AN OFFER OF £7.79 ANYWAY!!!!

Just struck me of lazy code. No element of surprise; no suspense; you will win £8 and I am telling you as much as many times as I possibly can.

Came off £30 up as it actually repeated on JP (never have I had a £35 JP repeat before, ever). But I just found it really lazy...

I'm afraid your getting confused somewhere along the line. Mega hint only gets offered during feature play as far as i'm aware. Once you take the Maze feature that's it, the feature board ends. So you will have been told that your maze box is at least X amount before you took it, not what the box actually is and not during playing the maze game.

You may be right actually. Had had a few beers at the time.

One thing I am certain on though is that it offered £7.79 with an £8 max win, and a £1 lower win left. Still think thats lazy....

Yes basically it just wanted to give you an £8 win. and was making sure you got it
