Not seen one yet - had a Friday night that involved FIVE HHHs (And one DoaD) (arrived home £90 up!)

There seems to be flavours in the air surrounding this machine though - being DOND-esque, it'll no doubt be stakes or lives??

Seen loads, had a few goes
Offers Cashpot on the game, but the amount changes like on the Cops and Robbers one
It offered me CP when it was on £31 so took it

This is indeed turning up in numbers - and it's somewhere between 'gash' and 'James Blunt' on the old Fruitchat crap-o-meter.

It's basically taken DOND Cops'n'Robbers and added some completely pointless freespins thingy, which feeds odd quids and 50ps into a 'Booty' pot which can be collected at any time but rarely threatens to break into double figures.

The DOND game is from four quarters of a treasure map (it's a pirate theme, incase you hadn't guessed) and the key difference is that it uses the new holdover principles to carry the Swag (called Cashpot on this one) over onto subsequent boards. So it could be on £70 several boards running but then reset to £5 if a given board doesn't holdover.

On top of that there's a real waste of time double-layered super/mega shots thing going on as you wander round the board, which is a waste of artwork with everything else that's going on.

DOND games without reels make punters suspicious - and the number of times this thing leaves you with £4 vs. £70 ..... £4 isn't gonna make punters any happier.

Be thankful you've gotten a game to be left with a £70, they seem so tight, Extra life goes within a few spins, Doesn't seem to super board until it's "mapping"
The pirate spins are just a con,loads of 1 spins then if you get 4 it's 4 X 50p, the game over square is quite a magnet, the TOB seems extremely tight considering how many Under £5 amounts there are on it, the CP only starts to increase on the super board which as stated is a lot harder to get the on C & R. The coins instead of streak symbols is a bit of a gimmick too, I've had 1 coin & 2 coins award the same amount.

It's a Sticky Vicky on the gashometer for me.

Has anyone figured out the significance of the number trail going red?

It keeps trail holding until it boards, another gimmick.
