The Fruit Machine Cheat Book - P10 - The nudge & Hold System
Virtually every machine built in the last couple of years offers a nudge feature, as well as a hold option.
Utilised in the correct manner, it is possible to make every nudge you are ever offered, work to your advantage. Once again, it is first necessary too understand that things are not always as they seem, when you are pitting your wits against the computer! Often a fruit machine will offer you one less nudge than s actually required to bring in a straight three symbol win.
If we examine the above, you can see that 2 nudges were actually required to gain a 3 symbol win (7’s). Obviously the FMC has only offered you one nudge, so it expects you to bring down either reel 2 or 3. To use the ‘Nudge & Hold System’, it is necessary to once again confuse the FMC. In this instance it is quite easily done, by not nudging the obvious symbol, and bringing in a less obvious symbol.
Here’s what you have done, in effect you have not done what the fruit machine’s computer thought you would have done. And so, once again, its pre-determined patterns are thrown out of sync, and you will find that the fruit machine offers you more bonus features than usual. Anther advantage of this aspect, is that it allows you to use the ‘Nudge & Hold System’.
STEP 1 – Nudge in the two least obvious symbols (or gaming features). This will also completely confuse the FMC.
STEP 2 – In its confused state, the FMC will offer you the hold option before you spin the reels, this will be after you have used the allocated amount of nudges.
STEP 3 – IMORTANT: When you are offered the hold option, IGNORE IT!
NEVER HOLD TWO SYMBOLS THE SAME! At this stage of the sequence, the FMC expects you to hold the two matching symbols, if you did, then it allows the machine to reset itself. By ignoring the holds and simply pressing start, (spinning the three reels), once again the FMC will have to reset itself, and will spin in an automatic three symbol win.
Important! Nudge in the lowest win offer
When the hold offer is offered directly afterwards, IGNORE IT, and PRESS START!…You should then receive a straight 3 symbol win, so the machine can reset itself again into its pre-determined pattern of play.
