Played a juice tonight, new game DOND Crazy Boxes. From Barcest with the full DOND branding. Total clone of Crazy trails. Thats a good start isnt it. Is this what we have to expect from digital Barcrest now? DOND TIOLI clones, DOND Dublin Up clones, DOND Rainbow Riches clones etc etc. I really cant wait....

That's interesting.

Not seen or heard any news on this.

Will both manu's now be releasing even more or have crest pinched it off BFM? Either way bell fruit towers will be hacked off!!!

Scientific Games have a license to use the DOND brand, for the DOND games on the FOBTs. So that is where it comes from probably.

Barcrest suck for stopping reel based machine production.

Been back to this a couple of times, dire every time. One thing I noticed though, every time it starts up the reels are always <Jackpot> <Lemon?> <Jackpot>.
Bit cheeky methinks!

Barcrests have had reset reels like that for years! The older stuff used to be <JP> <JP one above> <JP>. If something like a flicker is showing these reels on a Saturday afternoon I always figure its worth a quick try...

Or did you mean every time you load the game? In which case, yes! It is a lot cheeky!

Imagine what the AWP scene would be like had the game Deal Or No Deal not been invented....

<<SHUDDER>>

In your local Spoons you'd have a Magic 7 next to a Bar X 10, and over by the toilets there would be a Triple 7 Cabinet with various shit games on it, and a single player Golden Game on which the Let 'em Spin disappears for no reason for up to £100.

These digital units are tedious. The 'Menu' button is located just below the middle hold and I've pressed it numerous times accidently without looking. If you get a 'Hold Reel 2 for xxx" and accidently press the menu button, don't expect the game to remember it offered you that when you load it back up again.

Not on the Juices, Matt. The wierd thing on the Juices are the Menu button is top right. On some games there is no problem, on others there is no response what so ever, you have to wait for the time out. At first I thought it was a screen problem but when I realised some games have no problem it must be bad coding or just plain laziness.

Ah, sorry, I'm talking about the Gamestech jobbies.

They really seem to be running these machines on a shoestring though. Look at the response you can get on a pretty basic PC nowadays - even with a touch-screen monitor. These just don't seem to be up to scratch thus far...
