We have had this machine in the pub where I work part time, and although it can be quite ruthless on the high/low gamble (lower than a Queen, get a King: higher than a 3, get a 2) even killing you on the feature before you even have anything to collect, it does pay out quite regular. One thing I have noticed, however, is that in the 7 or 8 months we've had it, it has never payed the jackpot as a win (3 Impluses). The majority of the money won has been either through the hidden features (quite regular with reel blasts - on average £12 to £18 each time) or through the Economy Class or Business Class features (£15 to £25 a time, although I have had £50 out of Business Class). This begs the question of why bother having a £25 win if it's never given? Perhaps it's the way it's played. None of the punters are what you would call 'professional' players (you know. the irritating b***ards who think it's their god-given right to win), just people who want to be entertained for half an hour, and if they win - bonus!. Also is there an IM on this machine, because I haven't seen one of them either (unless it's well disguised).

Speaking of machines not paying out jackpots, the golf club I am a member of had a BFM Club Temptation (Scorp 4) for a while. When the cashdoor was open it would always say "Jackpots : 0"

the vast majority of new machines these days hardly ever give the 3 jackpot symbols as a straight in win.

at the moment i think its only red gaming machines that dont actually have a win line for £25,the highest win you can get on the reels is £15.00.
