Gold Strike

A recent machine where you must climb the number trail to progress through three different levels. During the game you'll see the characters' eyes flashing, as much as this pisses you off it means nothing (just to answer some questions).

When on a certain level you need to nudge in numbers to advance up the trail or get up there through a bonus.

The machine is paying well in general when it:

Offers flash nudges (tells you the amount of nudges on the next spin, so use holds to your advantage).

Gives you good wins and numbers regularly.

Progressing up to the silver zone.

Allowing you to use the Barcrest button alot for true skill.

Offers worthwhile bonuses.

Gives you good mystery wins.

Stoppa - Unusual to be any good, possible entry to Bronze when happy.

Selector - Can be good, will time out.

Boost - No danger in getting the feature.

Add Extra - Scrolls numbers on the LCD screen for you to stop and they'll add up. Shows good signs this bonus as it can go high up the trail.

Respin - Not much help.

Win Spin - Usually mystery win.

Skill Stop - Press cancel and aim for a decent number.

Throughout feature play each level will have various amounts which add to the Nudges or Reel Blasts. Use the nudges to bring in good numbers to progress, or better symbols so you can set yourself up for a good win with reel blasts. Take note, when you use your nudges you must cancel them out when done. Each level consists of a bonus which follows.

Also, when you nudge in a certain amount it will register on the cash trail (left) and you have the option to play on, even applies when you have JP nudged in.

Double Up - Doubles the next amount you land on.

Boost - Advances up the number trail.

Respin - Hold reels for numbers, or good symbols as it'll bring that amount closer to nudge in.

Reel Stepper - Step up/down to bring in better numbers or good wins.

Skill Stop - Stop on the board, I usually stop it on the streak for that level or nudges to get the numbers required.

Bonus Add - Adds to the nudges, cash trail or reel blasts.

Extra Life - A good sign.

Blown Up - This is a bad sign, will take you down a level or kill you off if you're on Bronze.

Game Over - Self-explanatory.

Trail Run - Adds to reel blasts, nudges or cash.

Skill Continue - Scrolls across, hit the 'E'.

Even Continue - Hit an even number to carry on, this is psuedo skill.

Hi/Lo Continue - Hi or lo to continue, if it kills you on a good number then consider walking.

Extra Life - Good sign.

Within each level, note that landing on the same feature twice makes it super therefore, rewarding better cash amounts.

The Bronze Level:

Consists of a bonus, a ? mark, various add 1 to nudges, reel blasts squares and the following features:

Reel Roulette; Bring in the best symbols with nudges with the exception of the middle square. Super, is true skill so look for decent wins.

Cash Dash; stop an amount on the LCD, usually 2 quid. Super, allows a second attempt from the first amount.

Money Belt 3 quid plus. Super, around 5.

1 Super Knockout; allows you a knockout above the cash amount shown on the trail.

Bronze Streak; A streak of different cash amounts. Can be good for a tenner, I've had 12 quid from it.

The Silver Level:

Consists of a bonus, a ? mark, various add 1 or 2 to nudges, reel blasts squares and the following features:

Golden Hold; Steps one up, one down. Nudge better wins before hand.

Money Multiplier; On the LCD. For instance, 4 * ? Super, bigger wins.

2 Super Knockouts; (as above).

Silver Streak; usually near 12 quid.

In the Gold Zone you should expect a near Jackpot in most cases.

Consists of a bonus, a ? mark, various add 1, 2 or 3 to nudges, reel blasts squares and the following features:

Seventh Heaven; use your nudges to set up three alike 7's if possible, then step up or down. Super, allows three red or blue 7's, no mixed.

Hi/Lo Cash; Hi, lo up to about 12 quid.

3 Super Knockouts; (as above)

Gold Streak; usually Jackpot or just above. Never seen it go that high so I'd usually take the JP repeater over this.

Indicated in the top left corner. You must survive four ? marks to become invincible. When you get this the best option is to take the Jackpot Repeater or the Gold Streak which is usually a near Jackpot anyway.

This machine may be forced but can be risky. It has been known to die after it's first JP. Look for the good signs and catch it at the right time.
