I went to a local casino tonight to take a better look at these machines. (yes, I know it's Christmas, but I wasn't the only one, there were many people there at 3:00 in the morning, sickeys) Anyway, as you said, the meter went up a dollar (20 coins) at $36 action. I happened to hit the race feature in the middle, which was a nice surprise.
Mickey, there's another game I noticed called Ring'em Up. Unlike Super 8, the banked bonus goes up when two or more triple bars scatter instead of based on action. I looked at several machines and this feature was quite low compared to Super 8 so I figured I would try them to see how much more frequently they must hit. I found two machines in the whole place that had bonuses over 400, most others were closer to 120 or so and it starts at 100. Sure enough, I hit all-fruit at $141 coin-in on the first machine, then another all-fruit at $300 coin-in. Each paid about 800 coins even though they were closer to 500. I'm not sure where the other 300 came from and reading the pay-help on those slots makes my head hurt. I know there were a bunch of watermelons and plums and stuff, whatever. lol
So back to the Super 8, most were low, several around 1200 or so, a few at 3000, some under 100. So someone is hitting them. I did see one that was at 6500.
Then I got tired and went home.
Mickey, do you have any thoughts on Ring'em Up?
Thanks again, Mickey. And Merry Christmas.
