Pub Quiz Machine Guide: The Chase



Pub Quiz Machine Guide: The Chase

It was only a matter of time before ITV's tea time hit quiz show The Chase started to emerge on Pub Quiz Machines in one form or another. Sure enough in the past year The Chase has cropped up on the machines adorning pubs across the land and it happens to be rather good!

The premise of the game is pretty much the same as the show. 25p is awarded for each cash builder question (obviously multiple choice on the machines) with time speeded up when you get one wrong. Typically a good player will earn between £1.75-£2.50 max in this round, perhaps a little more if the "stoppers" don't crop up.

The game then carries on to the chase itself. You are pitted against a Chaser from the show (complete with a range of an almighty 3 facial expressions each!) and when you have decided on your offer its go go go! The offers tend to be fair with it not unknown that £10.00 or more crops up as the higher offer.

The major difference from the show is the final round in which The Chaser answers first and you chase the target with the chaser pushing you back. You can earn boosts and such like but usually the target is fair and the questions pitched at a level that always ensure you are close even without winning.

In all I found the Pub Quiz Machine Version of The Chase to be one of the better games around. Its much fairer, diverse with a range of games involved and you also get more bang for you buck as you are guaranteed a good number of questions. There seem to be a lot less "stoppers" too. I have also found it much more profitable with a good few wins near the £10 mark and my profit margin on this must be much higher than some of the other games. In fact this may be the only of the Pub Quiz Machine games I may be in profit in!

Worth a look next time you are in the pub!
