Bev's Guide to Forcing the Jackpot or Megastreak on Fruit Machines

bevjones · 10-23-2008, 05:41 AM

"Forcing" fruit machines basically amounts to over-filling the machine with pound coins until it's so full it has to pay out. This is also known as "emptying fruit machines".

It's not easy to do, and in fact some new fruit machines have built-in protection against it. However, many machines are quite happy to still pay out the Megastreak if the hopper is full. Below is a list of modern fruit machines which I have personally forced.

Forcing is never guarenteed. You should always be sure that the machine has enough money in it before you start filling it up. Remember that fruit machines are only programmed to pay out 70% - 80% of what is put into them, so be careful and never assume that a fruit machine will jackpot you as long as you put £30 in pound coins in.

The Technique

The technique is very simple. Play only with pound coins, as the fruit machine pays out in pound coins, so filling up the hopper will inevitably Megastreak you eventually. Next, never accept anything less than the maximum. This means gambling constantly, even if you're likely to lose.

There are two obstacles when playing to lose. One is fruit machines that will "cash out" like Warped and Bucks Bunny. This is where they just give you a random shot at the mega cash and pay you out. The other is Deal or No Deal, which has to pay you something. Generally, if you are trying to force a fruit machine, never play DonD unless you become invincible, in which case you're guarenteed the Jackpot regardless of anything you do.

The way to overcome these is to use the Transfer button and never take that money out. If the fruit machine forces you to taking money, Transfering will keep those pound coins in the hopper, so the machine hasn't technically paid out and will still have to empty the hopper.

Becoming Invincible

The most common way to guarentee the Megastreak is to become invincible. See my other article for tips on this. Each machine has it's own little way of letting you know you're invincible. Some will say "Go all the way" on the LCD or something similar like Deal or No Deal: The Big Reds, some will had a certain number of lights which show up like Star Wars: A New Hope. You need to know these patterns to know when you can gamble anything and still get the Jackpot.

Monopoly: Roads to Riches

Star Wars: A New Hope

Deal or No Deal: The Crazy Chair

there's no need to force any of these machines as jackpot / megastreak can be achieved a lot easier - with deal or no deal there's marking on the right hand side of the reel in the box - all of them have about 3 - 4 amounts for each marking - to my knowledge 4 small douuble bubbles is £35 , megastreak and two shit amounts £3 and a £1 i think (can't remember as not played these for ages as they're all dead round my way
as for the other two games you can get jackpot of the red number runner feature ( number cruncher i think its called, its on the top level) you need to know your reels as u select which way the reels step round but you can also hold the reels to stop them moving round - it adds up numbers and wins - it normally won't go past £4 however using knowledge of the reels you can get jackpot or if you can get the red sevens on a winline with the four on the right hand reel it'll go to megastreak - this will be the same on starwars although never played it so don't know what feature it is on there. i would advise against playing these as they very rarely streak and thus shit for profit.
knocking back super skill stop on this doesn't work as well as on previous games either - normally if u get this off the bonus just hit it on the number trail and go for ur megastreak / JP - then play for a bonus afterwards and sometimes it still gives it to u (remember super skill stop goes straight to megastreak first time it goes up)
also on monopoly if all the cars light up next to each cash value it's a guaranteed board - this can slyly but rarely be achieved from red lines - this will be the same for starwars

I was playing a poppeye machine and about after 6 times i had been gambling every win on the screen it came up saying what the next number was on the high/lo reel when i got in on the 7th time i used the screen to to pick the high/lo feature to match the number it told me, i had got all the way to 25 quid just on the high/lo reel and it told me the next number was a 1 and it went 9! i was honestly thinking i was alsmost invincible then!

Any thoughts?
