I remember playing a pub fruity years ago called real rich geezer. The hi-lo gamble on this machine was fucked. It would always land on 12 😂 even when you pressed lower and it landed on 12 you still got a win. It was great for a short time.
In fact I have the same thoughts on things like free spins too. In a game such as Fishing Frenzy when you get the bonus does it already know it’s paying X amount as soon as it’s triggered or is it random. I understand that the trigger itself will be random.
I think that’s part of the reason I believe they are predetermined, so I don’t blame myself, but also personally I just feel I get bad pick much more frequently than good, and just can’t be that unlucky all the time.
I used to love Real Rich Geezer. I did like the game but more specifically for a good while the one I played the gamble numbers would stick on 12. Go lower and you would win, but the number would still be 12. Many jackpots to be had lol. Any game with multi level bonus boards and extra lives good. Big Top was my first love. 5p play, £1.55 in, £75 jackpot. That got me hooked.
