Those top notch mistakes you make, which make you laugh looking back at them. My top 3 are: (all from experience)

1. Being Greedy - Jackpot is already won (had "done the job" on Italian job), had extra life. Thought process was "might as well carry on, can't lose anything as i had extra-life", a few roles of the die later, and landed on ? (mystery), it gave me collect prize of step to nearest (cherries). Bugger.

2. Loss of concentration - doing alright on the board, get nudges to bring in the symbols, not paying attention, suddenly i've nudged in cherries by mistake. Suffer the indignity of collecting a pound.

3. Bad Luck / Bad Preparation - Basically....9 reel blasts, jp symbol in sight, collect blasts, guarenteed jp.....this is when you find out some bulbs are blown, and the lcd display doesn't give anything away, and you end up guessing the win.

Any other nominees?

Getting drunk and playing a machine when I forget my bank account isn't in an IV mode,waking up next day thinking nooooooo.


Does this qualify?

collecting the nudges instead of the cashpot nudges were 15 quid 4 cherries and the cashpot was 125 pounds. then smacking the machine and getting kicked out.lol.i had a few drinks at the time, but it hurt in the morning.

One of my classic mistakes if when playing a machine and you are offered holds, I tend to hold these buttons down and keep them pressed while pressing start, and on machines like Homer's Meltdown, nudge sequences happen instantly without a sound beforehand, and since I have the buttons held down, it nudges the reels instead of holding them..

I hate it when I do that

I only ever used to make mistakes when being spotted - mind you, I was probably the only person here that took £250 in coins to a pub? Used to be funny, I'd just turn around and say 'you'll be in for a long wait, and I'm not leaving it until I get a ton'

Which I used to get, even if it did cost £125 to get it used to piss them right off

Yeah, I made the mistake of pressing the hold buttons just before nudges were offered, used to do that the most. Don't remember many other mistakes....although I did let myself get into situations like that mentioned above - on £15 and get forced onto a Collect Prize [happened a lot on recent stuff, Vamp it Up, that kind of thing]

Got to laugh at adydb. Ive done this so many times it makes me want to jump off a cliff. 8O
Still the next payday is in 30 days! :wink:

vamp it mistakes were classics, like going for red boost whilst not thinking of what you would get if the board went red (ie + red features that took you past the first red feature)

skillstopped a jackpot on pharoes gold (no skill just pure luck) but missed the 4th jackpot by one.. bugger £250 down the pan)

best is usually when you got crowd and you miss a really easy skillstop.. makes you feel that big..

Noticed that on All Fired Up, but that was in the Horizon [the ribbed cabinet ], whereas I think the buttons were the right way round in the tall Genesis cabinet

prolly just not realising when games such as the great escape and spotted dick are running... cause during the run on some features it would kill you then resume the next feature...

i always just left after it killed me :-(

[pimpplaya]

played body match and got the feature, won about £30 off it and thought the faeture had finished so i collected my money and left it, my mate wen on after me even though i told him id just 'had it', i didnt know that id run out of credits and he won 40 quid more but he sorted me out a tenner for making him laugh
