Fruit Machine Chat

Played one of these yesterday as I thought it looked interesting. I won't be playing it again! The board costs were so high. I spent about £18 for a board at one point. Once you do get a board you do seem to be seeded a little higher than usual. £3 was about the standard for me. But seeing how I've ...

Full Metal Jacket, Twin Peaks, The Wire are just a few "normal" categories that I steer well clear of. In a strange subversion one of my favourite categories is A-Team episodes. I've never seen an ep of it in my life but they're usually easy to figure out and it's use as a spoiler category...

My union just got 2 new opens delivered so we've been having a dabble. The Monsters of Rock game seems quite good. On machine #1 we got to the prize round and both followed a £3 card each. We were offered £3.50 so thought result and took this, thinking it worked similar to monopoly. We then remember...

haha yes I realised this as soon as I saw it. I'm a massive portal fan

I have to admit a certain amount of satisfaction knowing what it's about whilst others will have a look of bewilderment on their face

Well my local Let's Play DonD plays like this. £80 for first phones should you randomly force it. Play game, get box from 1p to £6. Game vanishes for £30 of £2/£3 board. Game comes back, get 1p to £6, wich you'd taken £12 stack, but you're £140 in now, so £12 stack no good. Keep going in for game, ...

There's two I play on in two pubs right next to each other. They both seem decent, inc plenty of phones from COB, a decent amount of £40/£70 in box from dond, and quite a few GATWs from board (tho i've worked out that any JP board is essentially a GATW board) - these usually go for £70. Only had a c...

East and west appears to have a skill element to it so I tend to avoid it. The only features I'll ever collect from the top row are ms/jackpot/bigreds. Otherwise I'll just take dond as it's usually open by the time you're in the top row.

Think the only 2 'sort of unexpected' £25 Crests I had repeat was that brilliant one-off: TAW and Space Raiders. The £15s used to like a £30 or £45. I wonder if it's because the blue/reds were so well understood / ripped by us lot that it was 'almost impossible' for them to repeat? Is that the same...

I have spoken to a contact within the industry and I was told that the Commission are not going to force the removal of games where there are ridiculous questions as long as it can be demonstrated that you can win,they are only going to force the removal of games where a 'skill' that may be acquire...

One thing I have learnt on DONDs is that if I'm in the hole a bit to just take the first half decent prize it gives me and call it a day. There might be something better if you carry on but they can get very expensive very quickly.

What would a machine do if you did all you could to NOT win money from it? eg, it gives you a GATW but you collect the initial £1 cash stack anyway, and keep doing this sort of thing. Would it eventually force the money upon you (eg perhaps by spinning in a jackpot on the reels) or quite happily kee...

Absolutely correct. Here's the link I post from time to time: Gambler's Fallacy Like with the National Lottery, 1,2,3,4,5,6 has as much chance as 6 apparently non-sequential numbers, but it just doesn't 'feel' as it does. It annoys me when people say, "Oh, I would've won the lottery last night...

I can't believe people are moaning about Fruit Explosion. Here's my worst game list 2) Reel Bingo (latest chip) shit for player and granny alike. 3) Wild Clover 4) Mummy Money 5) Rainbow Riches Pots of Gold 6) Bonus Roulette 7) Cms roulette 8) Rainbow Riches Party 9) Going Ape (£5) 10) Indiana Jone...

Until quite recently one particular casino chain had classic DOND, 1-100 and Millionaire 2007 on all their server based multi-game/roulette units. That meant you had depending on the casino about 20 to 40 seperate instances of each game in one casino. Was a nice little earner for a while. Oh yeah. ...

The grosvenor in Leeds used to have one but they got rid of it.

The alea in leeds has just added one something to do whilst on poker break
