Not seen this, unless it's one of the rubbish Battleships-based titles hovering around. Can anyone enlighten me?

Rubbish is a bit harsh certainly better than the other 2 that came out at the same time. Surprised to see Golden Boots is still around

Have to say Dave it's sobering to see your payout percentage. Could it be that the majority of machines do actually work as they should and payout the mythical 1 quid in every three?!! The way some go on on here sometimes you'd expect it to be 1300%...

I don't think there's much of an inconsistency is there? It's quite plausible that a few highly-skilled players could be making decent returns from the machines while the overall return is low - I suspect there are quite a few players out there who put reasonable amounts of money into SWPs without getting much back, ever. It would be interesting to see how that 34.2% breaks down over the different titles on Dave's Open, as well...

Well, that rules Mazooma out

Must be either Blueprint, or the online arm of BFG....

Not sure really Grecian- I imagine it depends on the ratio of punters to top players, he said scientifically

. Speaking of which- I seem to recall some of the guys on here were talking about heading over to give his machine a go. I await the payout percentage for that week

You wont get much return on 1vs100, wordsoup New Crystal Maze and the rigged spot Ultimate, so the others must be paying out steadily.

Its an "OPEN" invite for members on here to pop in and play the machine ..........it has been for the last 6 months or so - I think only 1 has made the journey so far................

Hi

If you remember I had to take my OPEN to FatSpanner to get a replacement unit back in oct/nov - the new unit they gave me had the new menu system "OPEN ALL SEASONS" its called with the new games alreday installed onto it and the new menu system.

However I recieved the update cd today and theres a couple of more new games on there - one is a RUSSEL GRANT THEMED ASTROLOGY game and another called PHAROH'S REVENGE (I think.....) as well as POP THE QUESTION ETC....

More interestingly theres a pamphlet in the cd advertising some games as coming soon.............

STAR WARS A NEW HOPE
MORE 4 (THE TV CHANNEL) PUB QUIZ
MONSTERS OF ROCK
1966 THE ROAD TO GLORY
STEPHEN LEES MAXIMUM BREAK
PRIZE STARJONG
TRUE SKILL THIRTEENS
SAME DIFFERENCE

So if anybody spots these on their travels let me know what you think.

Seen this for the first time this week - what absolute rubbish! Can't believe it's so popular with your regulars Dave, what with that awful fixed endgame.

whiteswan · Post by **whiteswan** » Thu Mar 11, 2010 11:05 pm

Its on the splash screen on attract mode - so I guess thats why people are playing it.

After the last update my machine now has NO official DEAL OR NO DEAL / MONOPOLY / CLUEDO games on at all..............dissapointing.
