Maygay's Ice Bugger

23 October 2003 - 12:08 AM

Has anyone had the misfortune of playing Ice Burger by Maygay?
From looking on their website, it's a variation of Jurassic Pork (Eclipse tech)

It plays ok as a £5 Jackpot machine, normally pays Jackpot after 2 quid.

As a £25 machine it's awful - the features are few and far between, and very dull. The only way to really play it is to high/low gamble the nudges/cash ladder.

Oh, and it's a 5 - 7 - 10 - 25 machine too - no £15 win.

Our machine in my pub went totally tits up on me tonight.
Put the best part of 40 quid in it, so I knew it would pay me a jackpot very soon.
Sure enough, got to the 9 Reel Knockout's feature, with a jackpot symbol in view.
On about the 5th Knockout landed on Jackpot, pressed Collect, and it went belly-up.

The cash ladder stop filling up on £2.40 (Melons) instead of going all the way to the top, the reels duely spun to melons, except the 3rd reel, which stuck with Grapes just below the winline.
So the machine informed me I had won £3 quid.

I turned it off after asking one of my regulars to witness the cock-up for me, and shall be getting Leisurelink out in the morning.
It's also been robbing £2 coins off punters.

From past experience with Leisurelink engineers, all they'll do it lookup the last win, which I reckon will be the £3 instead of £25, and say "there's nothing I can do about it guv".

Suffice it to say I shall be asking for another machine to be installed pronto!
