Itbox cheats?

Most of the games were created BY the developer under instruction FROM ibn. the games are then purchased by IBN from the developer. stats are only used to decide which developers are used + game rotation

also they dont have to co-operate with each other over bank and % as games only call the information from a db. so all developers would just call the same db for % & pot information.

So you say.

Explain this phenomenon (which we have all witnessed): New games on old machines are far more likely to pay out in the first few games. How can you explain this if all games are linked to the same % and pot?

In what way do you think examining the hard drive would prove what you are saying?

games are compensated seperately. Jackpot on one game doesnt affect play on another.

From observation I would say that this is correct - after all, if games individually tended towards a certain payout, one would expect the ensemble to do the same.

games payout independently.The games are developed by a number of manufacturers - If somebody believes any different they either do not play machines very much , or are complete planks.

Game rotation? Sh*t Box? I don't think so.

Sh*t Box machines all have the same games on (obviously only if they are up to date). The same goes for Gamesnet machines.

What about 'Paragoon' machines?

Paragon machines only have 9 games on the menu at any one time. Same goes (ish) for ind:e. Their games are rotated on and off.

Sh*t Box and Gamesnet machines have all their games on the menu(s) all the time.

It's not difficult to remember lads which ones do which.

Think of them like a restaurant:

Itbox and Gamesnet allow you to choose anything, which makes them 'A La Carte' machines

Paragon and Inde only allow to choose from the selection they want you to play, which makes them 'Table d'Hote'

Not quite right. Itboxes have about 20 games available from their menu (front and back). Ind:Es have started rolling out 2-screen versions, which makes 16 games (with one slot taken up by the Change Screen option). Gamesnet are similar to Itbox. All operate the policy of replacing the least popular games over the entire estate with new ones every couple of months or so. Don't know about Paragon, but I imagine they're the same.

With Ind:Es the landlord can lock ONE game from being replaced, and nominate another single game to be definitely replaced, but that's it.

I thought 'Paragoon' were McDonalds, as it's bad for your health
