Barry, are the new machines clones or brand new ideas?

There hasn't been a NEW red machine for quite some considererable time. Which is a shame, really. All of the Red machines for the last, possibly, twelve months have been clones, or 5% move ons. All manufacturers move machines on, but they also try new ideas. And aside from the Super/Mega Game pre-gambles, they've done nothing new.
From an innovation perspective, its utter shit. From a company "lets make loads of money" perspective, it makes perfect sense. And fair play to them.

Actually, me saying they have tried nothing new is unfair, as i have no idea if they have tried machines that have failed.

Since Red, Vivid, Barcrest, Extreme, Maygay and Impulse all part of the same company why don't they try machines from other companies, for intstance Red could do a Bully For U type machine.

Agree coaster! They do tend to get boring now. Lovely machines to win money out of and some of the sounds on these fruits are top dog!

One of those kings ransom has just been released in my local wethersoons! Seems to be ok but i don't like the bling bling/ Sub zero style. I would prefer numbers which involves SS and number runner!

E.g. JP jems, SA or even the cross - numbering fruits e.g. DNA, LAB, X-rated etc

*UHH.... DNA.... I love this m/c!

Yeah, even if they cross the machine designs similar to what Bell-Fruit did (well not in quite the same way, there may be a new court case coming up). But do similar like what BF did to Hot Rod. A cross of Powerball and Pick Of The Pack (almost).
