Well there's the big problem. We'll never know. I don't think luckyscouser is going to be bothered though.
But now that we have seen that a 14,000x hit IS possible without even needing to take one spin on the feature gamble wheel,
would you really want to risk losing your feature for the sake of some Extra Chilli?
On the very rare occasions I played EC, I never was tempted to gamble the feature away.
Sure, the results of the features that followed said refusals to gamble the feature were all shit, but I'd rather have a shit feature than no feature at all.
Simply because I would always be wondering what might have been, had I gambled the feature and lost.
