JPM Impulse - Great machine, but so difficult!

Hi everyone.  Still fairly new to the emulation scene, and really enjoying the site.  Just downloaded JPM's Impulse by @Tommy c.   What a great machine!  Seems very playable, but I'm struggling to drop the jackpot!  Is this the standard JPM play format of collect whatever value you can get?  And maybe not push for jackpot?

Great layout by the way @Tommy c, thank you.  And as always to Wizard for the emulator.

Hope people don't mind a chat, really enjoying the area.

🙂

It does a guarantee board when all the exchanges light up both sides, from memory it’s like a red alert, you don’t play for jackpot instead take all the wins you can set up on nudges etc, @logopolis can you help further?!?

The features from 11th Heaven and up are all JP or equivalent features - so always collect these. Shockwave is the trickiest of them - you would take 11th Heaven on a guaranteed number rather than Shockwave

You can either collect value and wait for an opportunity, or semi force for 11th Heaven, collecting value after.

Look out for the red boxes for hidden features on nudges (and occasionally Super Hold) as a number of these will give a shot at JP as well.

Important to not mess up either Steppa or Big shot off the bonuses.

If forced, or played for through 11th Heaven JP can repeat up to £60.... but if collecting wins for value will be a flat £15.  In theory, Big 50 can pay £50..... I have never seen more than £30.

Have fun - the JPM's from this era are fantastic - check out Arcadia and Cracker!

Also the swap 3 holds works as it does on many JPM machines. The machine spins 3 and 8 when the value is there and it's not blocking past £5. Question mark bonuses also mean the machine is not blocking and spinning 3 and 8. It won't give a question mark bonus if the machine isn't spinning 3 and 8. The 3 steps to 12 and the 8 steps to 1 which is an explanation of why the machine spins those numbers when it's ready.

Look out for Super Hold which is the 2nd feature because the reels can often be good wins or red lines. The go all the way board which @woodsy mentions is when all the exchanges light up. You can nudge wins on the way up or exchange across and it won't affect the board being jackpot.

Thanks for this, I've started taking the smaller wins and it seems much happier.  Maybe just not a machine to push for jackpot.

@MikeyMonsterthanks for your reply.   I'll have another play and let you know how I get on!  

I've played Arcadia which is brilliant.  I'll have a look at Cracker.  Thanks again for the brilliant response.
