Ok. Everyone guess how many DOND units have been manufactured in the last 6 years. Yes it's only been 6 years!

I'd say its more than 40, don't know the exact total though?

Must be about right, that real hustle programme a few years back said there is 250,000 fruit machines in the U.K, so is 2 out of every 3 machines a beard? Probably more.

I'm surprised its that low as well. I based my guess on there being approx 50,000 pubs in the UK. I've no idea what percentage of them have machines, but probably more than half? 6 years worth of non stop DONDs in 25,000 pubs, some with several at a time. Guess a lot of them do get rotated around though. Where did the answer come from?

Maybe the next set of questions on PUB QUIZ or similar.

How many actual games have been made though? I'd guess 60-ish now. And how many have been full on empties? Get those stats up and we can work out the % chance of each future version being an empty too!!!
1st 4 were empties, then there was HoF, Perfect, LTD, I'm getting lost beyond them...
