Awesome wins!

I look for patterns, usually signs of a major "pot feed". After such a pattern has played out, a big win is often not too far off - but not usually THIS big
The most obvious "pot feed" pattern to watch out for is this.
SUDDENLY - offered ships, either nudges of waggle, or step to win. IF this is followed by ships again, or Parrots, you have a "pot feed". Generally, you should increase your stake at this time, and see if you are getting big offers still at the higher stake - this is confirmation.
In THIS case, I found a rather unusual pattern, it was NOT playing particularly well, so I was alternating between £5 and £10. On one of my increases to £10 - it offered 500x. I ran out of money, but made a note of this for next time - which was today.
As it was STILL offering 500x, even though the first two were followed by LOSE, I decided to "go for it". £13K is pretty damn good for an outcome for this, but it was what happened in the next 5 feature games, where I had lowered my stake to £5, that made this so very exceptional. I had a sequence of 5 top paying features in total, with no sign that each of these wins had "emptied" the game. Feature 7 was the one that showed me it was all over. I got the maps, rolled a 6, and lost straight away on ? - THIS is the sign that all pots are empty, and the machine will now want this money back, just like a real UK fruit machine.
I MAY have benefitted from a recent MGS change, since there is no way that I personally have fed this amount into the game, and past experience told me that money from other players tended to stick with the game in their accounts. Not so any longer it seems, I suspected something was up earlier, after the new lobby and changes to patterns and the controls of the game.
The real danger is that, just like any other of the games, a player could put 50K back through it, and NOT get anything like that amount back because it would have been shared among the other players.
50K is big enough for the accumulation to be over the entire MGS network, almost like a "hidden progressive", given how relatively unpopular this game is compared to the traditional Vegas and Aussie style slots.
What really excites me is the prospect of being able to get a run like this again - it's a bit like seeing a PAT RF dealt to you before your very eyes, and may well be a once in a lifetime win at TI, just as the Pat RF is considered once in a lifetime.
We have always known that MGS software is "streaky", and looks distinctly so - well here's the proof, and I expect the SAME official response that we were force-fed by MGS all the other times we complained of "streaky" games. "The games are random, and your payouts are not in any way abnormal" - or words to that effect.
It would be funny if MGS suddenly now decided their games WERE too damn "streaky" now, and were prepared to concede that their randomness left something to be desired. 6 top paying features, all over 1000x, and some well over 2000x - and all ON THE TROT
IF the dealer gets BJ 6x in a row - it's random (so they tell us), so I don't expect anything different here - but it sure FEELS non-random to get such a consistent and long run of top paying features, considering how hard it can be to get ONE TI feature out of this game sometimes.
