I ended up getting the bonus, it was quite a journey. Bagged a 2000x loss that night for my troubles. And hit the take a break for a week button.
Just smashed another 1000x this evening in quick order. Chasing on ‘The Wiz’. Could not get the bonus for the life of me, then pulled a 5 scatter trigger. Got excited I may get back to some reasonable loss. Went for 25xish. No respins. I get stuck on a machine and just punt until it bonuses way too often. Drive multiplayer Mayhem (dont ask me why I opened that bastard up again after years) did me for about 900x the other night. Madness. Its bad either way. But when you are chasing a bonus with relatively shite potential, it gets real annoying. I got to kick this habbit.
