    Default Finally

    I finally got my thunderbirds machine today & Its the first one I have owned, can any body tell me why it will only let me play after I load 3 tokens up, I have never played one of these "toys" before It looks like you can have the option of playing one token only for the centre line two tokens for horizontal lines & three for diagonals but it only wants to play the three token option, is there a skill level option on this machine & if so how do I set it

    sorry for the newbee questions but i'm confused

    thanks, not so smartiepants!!!!!

    This is a max bet only machine. You must play three tokens at a time.

    I believe you shut the machine off, turn the key(the one on the inside), turn the machine on, press the little black button below the key until you get to the skill level you want, hold the joystick down for a few seconds and then turn the key back to it's original position.

    Just tapping the joystick once is enough.

    Ah, first impressions are always the least informed... Just kidding.

    You may play it for a long time and still not understand how the "skill" is used. If you have a play guide, check it out, set skill to "1" and play away. You might be good enough to take your "skill" to Japan.

    You can pratice eyeshooting, try stopping the reels on 7's or bars.

    Some people are very good at that.

    Us never...... oh by the way whats that over there?

    as a newbie myself.... i find the best thing to do is play and play and play..
    you can try focusing on stopping a reel at different times to see what that will do. and pretty soon you have a very good idea of when you should press the button.

    oh and before i forget

    level 6 makes it easier to hit the big bonuses
    level 1 the big bonus's are less frequent

    the lower the level the higher the frequency of smaller wins.

    hope i said that correctly..
