Went out yesterday afternoon to force a couple of beers down, started by popping into an arcade on the way up got a monopoly holding and walked out £40 in profit.
Thought to myself suppose ill go and see how viu is walked in and some shit (prize fighter) is there! gutted!
decided to calm myself down by going to do the extreme walked in and its gone to replaced by yabba dabba darts once again gutted!
Every machine been changed except monopoly and the cops n robbers next to it blew my profit getting pissed to drown my sorrows, rough this morning and still gutted!

Similar story where I live everything seems to have turned to either some bellfruit deal or no deal themed game or dough ho ho or clones. Must be getting played more than anything else. Problem is though the casual punters seem to love bellfruits as they can put £2 in get £3 offerred then collect on a ?

I've probably never agreed with any statement more strongly, ever.

I would like to thank my local Wetherspoons for offering me the 'choice' of DOND Can You Beat The Banker, Spin When Your Winning, DOND What's In Your Box?, DOND Power of 5, and Coronation Street.

I am not going to set foot in there for a very long time.

A large pub near me has 6 m/c's

Not been for a while
Went last night they have

Dough Ho NO
DOND beat the banker you wa~*'er
Spin Even When You Wont Win
Cluedo
Butch Cashidy And I'll take your quids
Billy Throw Away Your Quids

Surely the worst selection ever
Although i had a drive around a large area with a mate and saw at least 10 of those Dough Ho No's and loads of other shite

Glad i have a much better selection in my town centre

thats awaful, how do theese machines actually work to their legal %

dodgers · Post by **dodgers** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 11:07 pm

Not sure how it keeps up with its legal % probably by giving some spawny old git a huge streak from his 5 pound change!
What annoys me so much though is that these pieces of shite actually do better for the owner or whoever so more pop up, we all leave them alone just wish everyone else did!

Bellfruit don't keep up with the Legal % on a lot of them games as can be seen when playing the romsets on the emulator where you have access to the cash in/Out ratio. Its usually around 55/60%.

Although amusingly on my Lord of the Rings TFOTR, the cash out is double the cash in (Superhold trick)

All modern Bellfruits meet % over a medium cycle.
