GAME OVER

care to elaborate any further Jeffrey me old son?

Yeah, went out for a check the other day, Danopatra own Gamestec & Bellfruit

Gamestec don't have anything playable anymore, just Bellfruit

What about all the cluedos, new reds etc they've got? You plum. Just because the majority of their stuff is like that, doesn't mean they are toast. Even Petron have sackload of tosh, and they've taken loads of old LL sites here. Sign of the times.

Danoptra have aquired Inspired's arm of the pub trade. it's a company trading as RMLS & are connected to MDM leisure I think.
Basically Danoptra (Who own Bellfruit) have bought a supply chain that covers alot of Barcrests territory so you'd expect these will turn to Bellfruit/Mazooma/QPS.

As Jeff says Gameover

Oh and 1/3rd of the m/c's bought are Video AWP's

Wow. Another nail in the coffin.

I can't remember who said that civilisation would eventually turn into "grey goo", but they were wrong.
Everything we know will sooner or later turn into Noel Edmonds. :x

Danoptra have aquired Inspired's(basically l/link) arm of the pub trade. it's a company trading as RMLS..
RMLS is a trading company run by gamestec
gamestec is owned by danoptra
danoptra also own the bell-fruit group,leisure connection and On Board Leisure

I had 2 solid days of checking the other day.

There are tons of Oche, Oche, Oche/Al Murrays being sited.
Plenty Warped/Billy the Quid etc.
And the BFG garbage/Bullys Star Prize/Dream Factory/Its Your Show etc. etc. etc.

Very, very little to play. Even Shitty pubs getting new stuff. Times are hard, I have 2 days a week guaranteed money, but once these last few bits of stuff go, I'm on my way out, I'm already getting my fingers into "other pies" as we speak.

Yeh same here, I did mention this would happen a few months ago....

I went out of Leicester 3 times a few weeks back and found next to nothing, one day included an £80 odd loss each with expenses and getting stung on the few bits we did find, got a few local bits i stick to now, about 3 days a week, 4 at a push.

I've barely touched any for the last couple of months. I've either got pubs with Shite m/c's that have been there for ages or crap stuff appearing. In the last 3 weeks M'cs that have appeared are

1 Its your show
1 Oche oche oche
3 Open the box
2 Caribaen Gash
1 Lucky devil
3 Manic miners
2 Star Wars
2 Hot property
3 Italion Jobs
and a chipped Pots of gold

Lost a fruit to a boxing m/c
3 pubs have cut down from 2 to 1
2 pubs closed
2 pubs gotten rid of m/cs all together.

It's getting no longer the worry about the choice of machines, People just aren't playing them anymore because of the economic Farce!!

Lost a happycampers and a daunting for nothing, no machine pubs, lost a mummy today for a noel yes its only a mummy but rather play that than a "its your show" or what eva it is

it is getting tight, BUT still making £600 a week almost guarenteed

Right i am owner of Bellfruit and I need to market my products to obtain maximum profit so here goes;


SWOT

Strengths - unique and classic reel symbols,

Weaknesses - a lack of fruit machines that the public can afford to play

Opportunities - to make a different range of products with other businesses

Threats - Extreme, Red Gaming, Barcrest




Best thing for Bellfruit is to ring up the local council for top 20 areas in the Country and ask for some quantated data for example,

how many people between 18-26 living in the area?
how many of these people have betting accounts? ( could lead to them playing fruit machines)

Then we can go onto qualitated data and get some feedback from the public via letters, flyers on machines, or even via internet.

We need to find out what the publics needs and wants are, we need to maximise profits and maximise out product moving with the times.




Anyone got any thoughts?

Bell fruit surely know their mc/s are shit!THIS is the rerason why they are not getting played i spoke to some munters i know in a local and they wont play em cos of board prices.But when there was a cash attack and a CCP in there they were always on em.Wise up bell fruit you are contributing to your own demise you dummies!
