Was it an inside job?

Post by BigEd »

Royale Family and Deal or No Deal both had emptiers in early versions. These were very quickly fixed though. I heard (but I don't know if it was true) that someone went round Birmingham emptying everything in sight.

Royle Family wasn't quickly fixed, it took a very long time. :D

Is that right about the DOND emptier? Anyone care to shed light on that?

I always wondered whether the standalone Risk emptier (spoiler questions) was a bug, or a subtly programmed feature designed to look like a bug and left in for the programmer's mates.

After leaving something in like that, I'm sure he did.

Time for all 5 continents now, thank you very much. :)

Too right it did! About eight months by my reckoning although it could have been a lot longer! Ah the old days! :D :D :D

Anything mechanical (keys, levering doors off...) doesn't count obviously, neither does any inbuilt feature that isn't advertised but that any regular player would easily find, such as the very basic one of not holding after nudging in two symbols out of three - I'm old enough to remember when that trick was first introduced, whereas I believe the modern machines even TELL you when to do things like that.

I admit I almost a complete amateur in this area and am obviously not asking anyone to divulge any actual tricks but my suspicion is that 99% of these stories are just that - stories - in the same way that the racing papers are full of people asking you to pay for supposedly "foolproof" betting systems. :roll:
