DOND - The Big Reds

This just appered on our Gamesnet yesterday, didn't have a punt, but the spiel is, answer just 3 questions to get to the cash round, something to do with points, didn't have time for a proper look at the rules.

I found it to be a bit wank.

You answer 3 easy questions to get to the cash game, and then you're guaranteed a win.

For anyone who's played Ladbrokes DOND then its the same as this. 50p I played and ended up with 54p.

Profit but not worth the effort, especially as it'll be rigged.

I appreciate the sarcasm but 4p profit, over a 3 minute game = 80p per hour.

7 hour working day = £5.60

5 day working week = £28.

Not quite enough to give upthe day job.

It loves to give stupid amounts, there's forever 2p or 12p in the bank in the machine, pointless.

Find it's the kind of game you play when nothing is giving you anything : DOND wants 68000 points, Monopoly wants 6000 AND sends you to jail twice, Caesars Place gives you a 4 number calculation on level 1 (you know the kind of day !!!). Then with a bit of luck you can load in a bit more shrapnel on top of the odds and ends it invariably gives you, to build up to a 50p for another game.

One point I have noticed : this has been in my local for about 3 weeks now, and the 3 questions appear to be getting noticeably harder...

Anyone else noticed that ?

That no doubt means they are going to ramp up the average "winnings" to a gravity-defying 46p. I can't wait!

602 posts in and he FINALLY posts something cynical...

Saw this on a couple of ItBoxes tonight, along with The Golden Compass. Both the machines in question have had slightly unusual line-ups in the past, so I suspect they are used as test locations, or am I wrong and has Big Reds been rolled out everywhere? Anyway, I'm ashamed to say I didn't make it past the first three questions so can't report on the game play any more than that...

Ihaven't come across one so I was interested to see what lies ahead.

Found a Big Reds/Golden Compass machine today, though I'm afraid I didn't manage to work out what it had replaced. Trivial Pursuit had moved to the second screen though. Big Reds is an utterly wretched game.

and where was this GGDR? Not the same place I was enjoying a mixed grilll perchance?

Possibly out of your range: the Green Man (Wetherspoons) near Bank.
