I thought it'd be £25, maybe £50 if it had repeat jackpot?
I played this Deal or No Deal one yesterday while waiting to be picked up from services...
The machine paid me £82 and I literally pressed the collect button to just stop it counting up as I was worried an alarm was gonna go off.
Basically, first quid I put in, 1st spin it went on the board... then it just kept giving me everything decent... Gave me a 'a mega streak' and this just kept adding up and adding up way past £25, way past £50 lol, was just adding and adding and adding... Figured the machine was broken and would throw up an error sooner or later (probably when the coin hop ran out of coins) so just pressed collect at £82 and slyly tried to deposit 82 coins out of the machine and into my pockets

Mine used to give a jackpot of £25 then repeat another 2 times so £75 off 1 spin occasionally.
Nothing unusual about a streak like that mate, probably been filled up and hasnt paid out for some time.

My best mate won £105 on a £15 jackpot machine a fair few years ago...
My best was about £65 on one machine. But then won nearly that again on 2-3 more throughout the night
So it would have carried on going. If the pot was full inside, don't stop. Put that extra £1 in just to see if you got back up there
The next person to play may win a free jackpot for 1 go
I used to be a big time fruit machine addicted. Wasted stupid amounts when i was in my late teens  Ho hum, ah well, just glad i don't play them now

Was at chievely services... was tempted to go back, but my tow truck had arrived
Think it just hit a bug in it's coding... on the mega streak it seemed to stop each £25, and then think about what it was doing, then continue

read my thread... I said 'not quite the one pictured, as mine was £25 rather than £250' ... they make these machines with £25, £35 and £250 jackpots but obviously same machine frame just different reels etc.

With that deal or no deal machine you can see whats behind the mirror if you look at the right angle.
Bit helpful when you know you've got mega streak behind there

how do you mean? behind the mirror? surely it's a symbol that lights or doesn't light as the game progresses.

They're legally required to pay out a certain percentage of what they take. This sort of behaviour can in theory be forced by refusing payouts or gambling to lose, then when the machine anticipates that it might end up breaking the law it'll go crazy to right itself.
Usually only happens when the guy in front of you has filled it up and played it in this way. He was probably off getting change.
Or its been played by a load of newbies who lost loads.
