Do we all agree HOF on £35 jackos is a good machine?? well i think so. On wednesday decided to play HOf £70jackos with my mate decided to go halfs. few quid in takes upto £12. £70 bloody pound later decides to offer DOND,rejected it. £130 into machine at this point decided to take DOND for a crappy £8. All together put £190 into machine did'nt take us past £12 on cash side,opened DOND prob about 4times, took winseries on 50p play only gave £35?!?!?!?!?.
Decided to leave after taking £8.In the end was doing SweetFA. this is now my worst DOND fruit.... why is this looking at the facts it has no mega streak, havn't known any other DOND to take so much to offer DOND feature, and even if ya did get £70 the machine going to be stone dead.
Anyone else hadt Can anyone clarify if WINSERIES gives £70+, does it need to be GATW or £1 stake.
my worst loss on a fruity for some time.
Must remember to bring key next time

I dont know about anybody else, but I found I had the Deal or no Deal game a few times and it didn't seem too hard to get.

I don't think the DOND boards are very frequent at all on the £70 version - I've only ever seen one and steered clear of it after looking at experiences posted on here. I think it's agreed that this is one to leave well enough alone - key or not!
From what others have said:
- Cherry phone never comes in
- Shuffle rip (sounds like a self-abuse based injury!) has been pretty much killed
- DOND's rarely appear
- Win Series is £35

Guess I must of been lucky then. I've only played 3 and each one had given in to a phone board 1st time. One £70 in box aswell!!!

Nice one, take it and run! There seems to have been some horror stories on the other HOF £70 thread...

Fair enough mate - as I said, I wasn't spekaing from personal experience. Still one here that I'll be near tomorrow, but will still most likely give it a wide berth...

PMK...., Normally play for two phones on nudges and use shuffle for 3rd phone on cash, never gamble on cash when gives u 3rd phone!!
Thing is this machine easy to play, but looking at it this is the only DOND machine with NO MEGA STREAK(On £70 jackos). lets be honest u ain't got no chance of getting two £70, one jackos and machine will be completly dead.
Managed to recoupe my losses made £100 today, def never playing this machine ever again!!!!!!!!!!!!
JG edit: There is a MEGA STREAK, on a GATW you will gamble to the top and get WIN SERIES which is the guaranteed £70 MS. Only had it once,. paid £90 or £95 I think.

I can only speak from very little experience, but the difference is, its harder to blag phones, as it will block the 2nd phone for no reason when its dead.
When its giving phones, which I havent seen (ie. cherry phone), then I imagine its fine, although WS is £35 not £70.
Very rare machine on £70 tbh though, like cluedos, very rare...

Absolutely, agreed, if this were to be rereleased en masse via reglass, I'd just give up. That said it's quite a fun addictive game that would entertain the average player, it just doesn't cater for us professionals

Dont normally venture into the fruit threads as i like to keep me self to me self now in that department... but I have 3 here in my town and have neither had a gatw OR a box game over £20... playing both 50p and £1 stake.
Though I haven't really pushed them to see whats what on the £70, as I'm awear they can be killer...
Just to make light of another bad conversion buy bellend.. Iv'e just has a king K.O turn up lol......£25jp....
Guees who's been scouring ebay and siting thier newly owned fruit in thier pub...
THE KINGS HEAD... ROCHFORD........
