Fruit Machine City
The Lotta Luck Emptier!
Stage 1 - Ready to Play?

Always check the balance before you start, if its backing then you will
probably be all right. If you can use a refill key to have a look,
then do so.

Also, have a look at the refill meter at the very top of the machine, if this is a lot more than
100ukp then the machine has probably been hit a number of times - either at that
location or one of the others on its travels...

I don't bother playing them unless there is at least 100ukp in them, however I
prefer them like this as you don't lose money over the back when
buzzing the machine up.

Start playing with at least 3 hours to spare and at LEAST 100ukp in
coins - just in case it goes wrong.

After checking the balance you have to decide whether the machine is ?ready? or worth playing
Play to see your first feature. If it kills you after offering two quid (dead) then it is not going to be worth while playing.
However, if it?s not dead and upon spinning a 3, 7 or 11 the red trail advances more than 1 place this is a good sign and a red probably isn?t far away.
Also, see if it is offering SUPER features whilst on the board then I would continue.

The feature you wish to take after the buzz-up is the central feature
"Cash Streak". But you cannot just play for the streak straight away.
Firstly, you need to get 'kill' off about 7 red boards. Red boards are
when you are invincible. Each red you kill adds 15ukp (less
percentage) to the streak that you eventually take.

As you may have realised the machine can go red at any time.
REFUSE all wins until it goes red, this can take as little as one
credit, or a maximum of 50ukp (when full). Even if it offers a JP DON`T
collect it as you will have to start again!

Don't worry if you are starting to lose a bit of money, as you will get
it all back in the end.

The machine will go red when you get the bonus upon entrance to the
feature, you get a 3, 7, or 11 when moving around the board, or you
land your stroll-ons (from ? on the feature board) on a red number.
Try to land your stroll-ons on 3, 7, or 11, but see where each
one will take you first. You don't want to get into the 3rd level of
the board as quickly as possible, you want to be invincible as early as
possible and as far away from Cash Streak as possible.

N.B. If the trail is at position 8 and you get stroll on - DO NOT land on a red number.
A red board from stroll on does not count. It doesn?t hurt the trick but is a waste of time.
Always let the machine go red by itself.

So basically:

� Try to get a red number at all times.
� Try to enter the feature on Bonus, not just start.
� And use your stroll-ons to land on a 3, 7, or 11 except when at position 8 on trail.
� If you are forced into the middle (one space before CS) collect 2 - 4ukp from Nudges / Reel Blasts.(I always try to take �2-3 if I can.)


Stage 2 - Invincibility

When the trail rises to 9 (Start) you are invincible and can advance
all the way to the centre feature - The Cash Streak. But don't do this
on the red board! When the feature goes red, and the lights flash up
and down that is when the fun starts to happen.

You have to refuse about 6 or 7 reds in order to do it properly.

When refusing the reds you have several choices, but don't do it
straight away - only when you move into the third ring - and NEVER take
a move in the third ring.

� You can use your nudges to bring in a low win.
� Take Reel Blasts to get a quid, but be careful, as if you have a JP
in view it will automatically collect it when you land on it.
� Bring in three numbers with your nudges (not bonus nudges), and you
can only do this with the correct amount of nudges.
� Or use your taxi (if you don't land on it) to get Golden Hold - and
bring in three numbers.

The later two are the best as it doesn't take any credits off you, and
the board will go red again and again. Also if you get into the third
level, the one just before Cash Streak (and you're on a normal board
still) - and you haven't killed enough reds off, follow the first two
steps.

Whilst you are playing around the board, if you land on bonus nudges try to move any JP symbols out the way so if it goes red reel blasts can be taken. Or try to nudge one JP symbol past the win line and then JP cannot be there for nudges (unless you have about 50 nudges!)
Also if your nudge win says 15.00 DO NOT press nudges it will auto nudge.

BUT make sure you don't take a move in the 3rd ring as it will put you
in straight away.

As you continue to kill reds off, start taking a few 2 - 4ukp wins -
as this will keep you in profit until you have finished. Always empty
your bank, as this means you are not throwing more money down the back
(if it's full).

So as soon as you get your first red board they should keep coming back most boards.
You will find that you press start and the trail goes all the way up to 9!( This is a bit more rare as you come across p2/3 so be careful, but they should be coming back fairly regularly, even if its not the next board.)


Stage 3 - Show Me The Money!!!

Right, after you have killed about seven reds the machine is ready to
empty.

Take the first normal Cash Streak that is offered: it doesn't matter if this
is red or blue but I would recommend not taking it in on a red!!!

The first streak should give you anything between 35ukp and 75ukp
(depending on percentage and how well you got it buzzed up).

Then you kill one or two more reds off before taking another Cash Streak.

This should go for anything from 25 to 50.

Then start collecting JPs. There should be at least 1 JP but often 2 or 3.

� If this repeats then fine

� If it doesn't, push for a JP again unless it?s died and then take a final red.

Try to take a final red, as it will usually be offered. This acts
as the end point for the emptier, and the software knows it. If you
don't take the final red after emptying and Joe Public comes along,
takes the red and it gives more than what is left in the hopper
(minimum 20ukp) - you are f**ked.( I find that nowadays this isn`t always the case on p2/3`s so just be careful you don`t go throwing all your profit back in!!)

That concludes the Lotta Luck emptier.

I hope you understand
everything and believe me, be careful about who sees you doing it as
you will be turning down JP repeaters all over the place to the
amazement of Joe Public who will call you all the names under the sun.

Just ignore him, and get on with what you are doing. You'll be the one
with the smile on your face as you leave, not him.

Summary

The mains points again.
Kill about 7 Reds
Collect Cash Streak
Kill 1 or 2 reds
Collect Cash Streak
Collect JPs until dead.
If a final red is offered collect JP or Cash Streak with it

A P2 / 3 will keep trying to put you in the middle instead of going red.

Make sure you don`t go into the cash streak until you`ve killed your reds!
Just collect 2 - 4 ukp and try again.

Good signs

Question mark giving stroll ons, Taxi often
3, 7 or 11 boosting the trail more than one place
First streak giving more than 50

Bad Signs

Question mark constantly giving GAME OVER(even when machine is buzzed up.)
This signifies a P3
Dead machine after streak (I have had this)


I wish you Lotts a Luck!
