😫 We Finally Won on Skill Fall Revolution… But Got NOTHING!? We almost had the prize… then hit it perfectly on the second try—only to win on a clip with no prize attached. 💀 The pain is real.

😤 Caught CYCLONE Cheating in 0.25x and 0.1x Slow Motion! 🎥 This is why I’ve always hated Cyclone—it skipped the jackpot right as we hit it. Watch the slomo footage and judge for yourself. Rigged or nah?
