I hit 'play deal or no deal' whilst on a 5 last night and got a pleasant surprise! Should it still be doing this?

Also been hammering Hyper Games all week, must be hundreds up from 3 nights social playing in the local, lovely stuff.

I don't see why not. It wasn't poor coding that caused is to do that.

Yes it was the result of "utter carelessness" in the testing department.
Basically what happened was they put that in on purpose as a shortcut in order to test the DOND feature, without having to piss around getting the phones. Then they simply "forgot" to take it out.

Yep this is part of normal gameplay hence that is why its called power '5'
it is rare though, as a matter of interest what did the box contain barneybear? and did you know beforehand ?

eh? lol
the power 5 upgrade on the phones?

you can actually play for this....

if you find one happy enough to be starting the board and offering 2's for the first phone, gamble once then get a nine... it'll sometimes let you in the second level, and from there you can force it to give a 5... just play around a bit, you'l get it eventually, if you want exact specifics, you always end up getting the 5 as a move to a ?, dont forget your free hi lo gambles...

I've had the £35 quite a few times from getting the 5 bonus. Trappable, as Spider says - so worth keeping an eye out for. Nice when it removes the £10, £15 and £20. ;)

Eh??? I've hardly ever had the £10 in the box from the power 5 set-up. Usually £20 but there's always a offer of around £30 anyway after the 1st no deal.

Luckier man than me then, i usual deal on the first offer anyway as its high 20s/low 30s

see it out, you can normally get two if you trap it right and hte first is a low amount.

First offer on a p5 DOND is always £19.50 odd. I remember once i had that, no dealed and it took the top 3 away to leave ?£10 and £15! What a mug off, never had it do it since.

unless its unchiped , why are people bothering with this ?,,,,,,,, along with 90%of all the dond machines ,


i know its possible to occasionally make profits on any machine ,

but longterm , day in day out from a professional perspective ,,,,,,,

wouldn't put a quid in em ( short of a chip test)
