A nice machine for those of you who like CT (challenge time) models.
as with most CT models eyeshooting is a must.

Thanks for the video.
That's a nice looking machine.

After the bonus do you get all 100 spins or will it kick you out if you keep missing?.


Was that you dumping the 50 credits or was it set like that :P

for the Challenge time you will get 100 spins as long as you do not get paid out more than 50 tokens during the challenge.

or the other way to end the challenge is to get a reach. the funny thing is that all reach patterns do NOT work while in the challenge. basically if the challenge ends sudenly without paying out 50 tokens or 100 spins, you will get a reach.

I have the machine set to dump the 50 credits after the bonus ends. this allows me to see how many tokens have been paid during a challenge. once i exceed the 50 credits the challenge will end.

The strategy for challenge time machines are to get the maximum number of tokens out without killing the challenge. then you use the rest of the spins to try to get a reach. This is where you intentionally miss winning for a couple spins then when your credits get low, you eyeshoot to refill. its basically playing free for the rest of the spins and you have a chance at getting the reach at the same time.

I think you just explained why there are magazine devoted to maximizing token count. You really should know what your doing before you play for real.

Question. Take this Hanabi sticker for example. Is it telling me the reach is to hit a sequence of eye-shots to progress to a bonus. Looks like it's saying hit this one first and this second and so on.

when money is on the line, you need to get the maximum amount of tokens out of the machine.

On that Hanabi sticker it is just showing you different reach patterns.

on some other machines that sticker will show reach patterns and/or ways to maximize your tokens from a bonus. most involve eyeshooting a character to maximize payout and/or how to avoid jac-in.
