Visited 3 Spoons today and one of them had all DOND machines. 5 of them! Great for the machine people but bad for any player really. Other 2 Spoons had mostly DONDs aswell. How can they put all 5 DONDs in there and keep the punters interested?

Yeah but most other machines = fat cash boxes. Doesn't have to be all DONDs. With 5 machines you would think they can afford to have 1 half decent machine.

I visited 5 wetherspoons at the weekend
Here is what i found
Out of a total of 26 machines 23 were DOND's
3 others were shit too
Just as rough guess previous years gone by it was like 15 out of the total were reds or extremes

I was only in the town centre because I was meeting a friend for a drink. Before that I had a look around and only played a couple of things in the Showboat. There was Indiana Jones in a pub but I didn't play it and an electrocoin but I didn't bother.

It's Chilvers. That ain't no reason to be happy about it.
