DOND The Big Reds. Possibly the worst of the DOND incarnations for the casual player. You can only stomach so many 1 pound / 2 pound offersbefore getting shagged by the COB for a nugget.

But I'm not complaining about that. I knew what I was getting myself into long before I fired the first credit in.

What did rankle though, was getting an extra life off the bonus and another extra life off a mystery. Thinking that had to be worth at least something, I then landed on another mystery only to be given GAME OVER.

It would appear that getting 2 extra lives means you get 0 extra lives. Good programming chaps. Another triumph.

Quick Tip: Unsure which features are crap? If it offers you it - it's shit.

Do I detect the heady scent of sarcasm? Surely not...
So not recommended then?

this is on par with the worst high techs ive played,typical senario is play one game ready 1st board and get an awful game so try another board which costs £10-15 and offer £1 £1rpt £2 £2 rpt rapid round and dead,then maybe a cheap board 6-8 2 get another game and so on and so forth,and no real cob potential to get you out of trouble,and do these actually streak?

yes they do, had streak before 3 gatw and then lot of afters, if offers r of 2quid values then you should realise they on there arse n get of them, and these cob are different they only will win to the value it's wanting to pay out. ive never really seen a gd cob when they fucked, as you do the others. overall shit machine, if get lucky got a good 140 roll.

the cycle on the streak must be well into the thousands, anyone therefore who has got it is a spawny git, and it does not merit giving the machine any credit, this is worst DOND out there by far.

HorseRacingKings RINSED THEM ALL.

As I posted in a similar thread, I did spawn the flukey roll 'once!' but every other time, just go for one board and try and get the red £3+rpt. You'll be either a couple of quid down or a couple of quid up.

But agree, apart from this, certainly one of the, if not the worst DONDERS...

Of course its by far the worst! Along with Dream Factory i reckon.

4 reeler - empty
WIYB - empty
Power 5 - empty
CYBTB - At least you can rip them to a degree
HOF - very workable, good money if you know what your doing
WOW - Readable, can manip MS and rip higher boards too with some balls

Beat the bankers are shit.

But like most machines, if you catch 'em right, they can go huge...! Took £130 profit in total from one a few weeks ago (yep, I was surprised too!) 3 MS's in a row (all £35) and two nearest wins for £15, which both repeated!!

Just test the water and leave with a minimal loss if not NW / cash not going over £4. Lovely when you land on extra cash and it goes up by about £6...

Do none of you pay £15 for a board to find out its dead?!?!?!?!

Or first board ready play game end up shitty box next board costs £10 same again then before u no it ur bout £30 in to get £3 in your box 2 repeats and it goes stone.

Yeah but in say a year you may make £100 in one day and be happy but over a year you will be donw about £2000+ if you leave them alone!

YES THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS!!!!! £15 for a dead board, if you get this a few times, you're losing a fortune! These just do it for fun aswell! Mattb you say this is the worst DOND and yet you still advocate forcing it, WHAT DONT YOU FORCE?!?!

I've chased most things that come out to be honest! Not CYBTB though, Big Reds has a different profile.

Ones i don't bother with now are:

Road to Riches - don't usually respond to forcing for streak
Manic Miner & clones - £55 tops all the time and usually no roll
Open The Box & clones - £100-£200 to go in most of the time
Caribbean Cash - New ones don't ever go in, old ones only streak for 2 most of the time and costs more than that to get.

Maybe that's it. I'll always get involved in Games Media if showing, always chase Bucks/Billy if there, always take reds on etc. Of course you get £15 boards on BTB, i'm not saying it doesn't happen to me at all, course it does! Pretty easy to tell when to leave it though, so its ok.
