About The Game
Help our luckless friend Mel make his way around London on a pub
crawl! If Mel can predict whether the next number will be higher or
lower than the current one, he moves one step closer to a big win -
up to £25,200!
Introduction
After another tough day at work, Mel needs the comfort of a pint
or two. Time for the Underground Hi-Lo Pub Crawl! Watch our hapless
hero mind the gap and navigate his way across the Underground to
his beloved pint by predicting whether the next number in the tube
doors is higher or lower than the last. If Mel correctly predicts
five or more outcomes on a row you progress to the next level and
come one step closer to last orders and a pocket full of cash. If
Mel correctly predict all six numbers, you can at least triple your
bet. Either way, after each tube station, you can choose to take
your win, or chance your luck at the next station by continuing on
and playing for even larger prizes!
How To Play
You can bet from 1 to 100 credits in Underground Hi-Lo. Begin by
selecting your initial bet.
Click the BET UP 1 button to increase your bet by 1
credit.
Click the BET DOWN 1 button to decrease your bet by 1
credit.
Click the BET UP 10 button to increase your bet by 10
credits.
Click the BET DOWN 10 button to decrease your bet by
10 credits.
After you have placed your bet, begin the game by clicking the
PLAY button.
An initial challenge number between 1 and 49 is presented at the
beginning of the bottom row in the tube door. Mel's goal is to
predict whether the next number is higher or lower than the
challenge number. Each number is randomly drawn from the range of 1
to 49, and is either higher or lower than the current challenge
number. There are no ties.
With each prediction, Mel moves through the tube carriage. Each
row consists of 6 predictions. If Mel makes two incorrect
predictions, the game ends. If Mel correctly predicts 5 or 6 on a
row, you can either take your win, or elect to continue to the next
tube station and another row where the payoff for 6 of 6 is even
larger!
If you choose to continue, you move up to the next row and risk
your winnings on Mel correctly predicting another row of numbers. A
new initial challenge number is randomly selected to start the new
row.
Take note: there is a benefit to doing well on the upper rows as
the award multipliers for 6 correct predictions gets higher and
higher after the first row. See the pay table for more detail.
How Does He Do it? or Inside the Mind of Mel
Though Mel was never much for studies, he did pay attention
during a BBC programme on maths so his predictions are always the
most advantageous for you. If the challenge number is less than or
equal to 25, Mel's next value prediction is higher. If the
challenge number is greater than 25, Mel's next value prediction is
lower.
How To Collect Your Win
If Mel correctly predicts all 6 numbers in a given row, you win
a multiple of your bet amount, based upon how high the row is. You
can choose at the end of the row to either collect your win or to
risk it all on Mel predicting the next higher row.
If Mel correctly predicts exactly 5 of 6 on a given row, you win
back your bet.
If Mel successfully completes any row with 5 or more correct
predictions, you are offered a TAKE WIN button.
Clicking this button ends your game and adds any credits you earn
during this game to your credit balance on the Game Console.
If Mel does not correctly predict at least 5 outcomes on a given
row, the game ends with no pay.
