PowerSpin Tips and Cheats
A Hi-Lo game play feature along the line of Big 50, with nudges on the right ladder and cash on the left. Use the numbers on the win line to complete the 1-7 trial with a bonus position at 4 to help you along. Hi, Lo gamble up the nudge ladder to achieve wins. The flashes at the side of the nudges award a bonus.
Either choose to auto-nudge a win or go for the holds after nudges, which happens frequently. You can also get barcodes in either direction but this can only be manually nudged in so watch the reels.
It is fairly easy to tell whether the machine is going to pay out because you will be offered a lot of bonuses on the nudge ladder. There are also bonuses on the cash side of the board but only a few are usually lit. The bonuses on offer are: Extra Flashes – Adds a few more flashes further up the ladder.
Boost – Boosts you at least one space up the ladder.
+Repeat Chance – Gives you a repeat chance on whichever win you choose to collect.
Activate Features – Activates the hidden bar code features. The feature changes with each gamble and is displayed in the small window at the centre of the disc.
No Lose – A no lose gamble so go lower then twos higher the kings etc.
Power Spin – Adds a various number of letters to the Powerspin logo, once complete a win series is awarded.
Extra Life – An extra life is awarded allowing you to carry on gambling from the point you lost.At the top of the machine is the Powerspin logo, as you gamble up the cash or nudge ladders certain bonuses will offer Powerspin, this lights some of the letters in the logo. Once complete you can choose to exchange for Power Spins, a win series which, despite the difficulty in obtaining it, will usually only offer between $5 and $10. When gambling from $10 to $15 you can lose frequently on good numbers, despite this the gamble is worth while as the $15 repeats frequently and can go up to a maximum of $60. If the Activate Features is lit only exchange if the feature is good and you are below the $7 win as most features offer an average of $5.
At the bonuses on position four the random options are:
Random Stop - Can go all the way to 16 nudges but the average is three. It will time out on the sixteenth stop so count in your head and stop it on at least three after the tenth stop to give it time to go high if possible.
Choose a Trial – Once again the average is three. It will time out around the eighth choice and sometimes all the way to 16 nudges.
Add Again – Adds the same number again so a maximum of four or one nudge is possible.
Nudge Stepper – A brilliant bonus that should see you with a very good win if done correctly. Read the back pages for full details.
Double Trial – Always one nudge.
HINTS:
When Hi Lo gambling on the nudge ladder remember to check the cash ladder Hi Lo number that you will inherit when swapping over. On a no lose gamble go higher then a queen for example to ensure a good number for the next gamble. Consider nudging in pairs for holds after nudge if the Hi Lo number is risky or the win is very small as it can give very good wins from holding after a nudge.
OTHER INFORMATION:
I once had a streak of $99 from this machine in the space of $10 ($15+ 1 repeat, $4, $5, $15+ 3 repeats) but I doubt if it is very common. (I also had to put in nearly $70!)
