Homers Meltdown |
Funny and fair.
What more do you want? RED HOMER |
THE GAME
To enter the feature game you must have 3 "Simpsons Characters" on the winline, or you can
exchange from a normal win after gambling once.
Go for the Barcode as much as possible. If you get a red board take a small win (£1 or £2). It will give you a couple more red boards within a few quid (or even more frequently if it wants to pay), keep turning them down and eventually you will get a normal (yellow) board. When this happens keep going to the Super Jackpot - It should repeat at least once! After a streak (£50 to £60) a final barcode will drop in - it is now time to move on.
MR BURNS
Fired - Game Over!
D'oh - One or more trails are reset to zero.
Payday - A random number of icons are added to various trails and to the Itchy & Scratchy board.
Hi/Lo Gamble - Get it correct on a 1-12 reel and you get to carry on.
THE FEATURES
Cooling Tower - These squares are in opposite corners of the board. When you land on it the squares around it flash one by one in sequence. Press stop when it is on the square you
want (cancel slows this down)! Look out for +3 Cash etc!
100% Profit - Seems to give you £2.
Money Belt - Standard 'Scroll the money around'. Good for £2.
Follow Those Hounds - Press the hold buttons in the sequence it shows.
Cheat Death - Alternates between "cheat" and "death" on the display. Hit "cheat" to climb the cash ladder, hit "death" and you are given the amount on the cashladder.
Excellent - 3 shot cash climb up the cash tunnel. Always seems to pay at least the current value of the cash tunnel.
Turnabout - The middle reel spins and you have to hit the hold button to get Moe in view - you advance two cash places for getting him on the pay line and 1 place for getting him immediately above or below. Once you miss, you get whatever you have reached - the reel spins a little faster each time.
Fission Surplus - I don't actually know
Burns Hi/Lo Bonanza - Hi/Lo gamble to add to the cash.. Can pay big (£15+), other times it may only allow you to get £5 - doh!
Homers Meltdown - Gives you loads of nudges and only a certain time to use them!
Don't take it too slow but be carefula and this will be a JACKPOT!
Super Jackpot - Jackpot with a repeat chance. If it does repeat don't be shocked when it repeats another 2 times - giving £60!
MOES TAVERN
When you get Moes Tavern (The Symbol on the middle reel) you are awarded hidden features. You now need to press the hold buttons in a certain order. These are listed below:
3-2-1 = Win Streak - I always take this feature. It spins in a win, If you hit repeat you get
another win etc. If you get past £5/£6 you could end up winning £30+ !!!.
1-3-2 = Hi/Lo Cash - Gamble higher or lower for more cash!
2-1-3 = Mega Hold - Steps reels up/down 2 steps.
2-3-1 = Cash Repeater - Pick a win with repeat chance.
3-1-2 = Superstop - Fast skillstop on the cash line, cancel won't slow it down.
1-2-3 = Line Up - Steps reels up/down and adds to the cash line when it passes a Simpsons Character.
BARCODES
Red, Yellow, Green or Green, Yellow, Red bars on the winline.
Left Hold Button - The number reel spins really fast. When you stop it the number adds to the Cash, Features and Nudges trails. Select the trail you want to collect.
Middle Hold Button - Follow me for £5. The machine flashes a sequence on the hold buttons. Repeat the sequence correctly for £5.
Right Hold Button - I always press this one! It gives you a win (one of the bars). If you can gamble higher or lower at least once you will be able to exchange for the feature. When you exchange you should find that £10 or the Jackpot is waiting for you on the nudges!
INVINCIBLE MODE
The Invincible mode is shown when the Homers Meltdown logo turns RED. Proceed around the board for the Super Jackpot!
As with the Simpsons and the Great Escape, some players still prefer to turn down the RED mode (collect a low win - £2?), and keep playing until they hit a normal feature, then twat it for £30+
