The force is not with you!!

[Stevie S]

Forcing some machines these days can be a very expensive do if you hit one that dont like the idea of it. With it being round Christmas and all thought it may be nice to list some machines that could destroy you whole festive holiday and some of the better machines that you may come away from a bit better off. Hearing some horror stories about the Mega Dond and others that have had people balls deep at £300 or more and I know it is a lot more painful for this to happen at this time of the year. It may also help if some mega blocks could be a topic too, I have hit a few donds that block like crazy at £40 for about another £100 in, which is very frustrating.

im no mystic meg , but i think this bit might ,,,,,,,, just might ,,,,, be where your problem lies :P




all jokes aside m8 ,,,,,,,, if people like you feed em ,,,,,,,,, then they'll keep making em

if you absolutely must play em for fun or whatever ,,,,,,,,,,,, just have a cpl of boards and/or cobs


during the whole history of the dond licence , there hasn't been one worth forcing . so hope that answers your post.


infact forcing of any bellfruit in general throughout the history of their machines has generally been a no no.


some might argue by saying lockbuster and lord of the rings were worth a force etc ,,,,,,,,,,,,, but sorry ,,,, for how often they rolled ,,,,,,, wasn't worth it overall .

i must have rolled plenty of lockbuster n clones in their time ,,,,,,,, but defo overall down on em


there's fortunately ,,,,, over the years been many ways to play/rip/exploit/empty bellfruits ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but forcing has never been one of em.

I used to do alright forcing those! Especially Easystreak which used to show - not whether it was JP ready, but whether it was ready for the roll!!

In answer to the original question, I quite agree that forcing the modern BFMs is a very dangerous sport. Boycot the DOND shite and spend your money on Christmas instead!

Oh, final point - saw yet another DOND last night. Live the dream? Oh just fuck off Edmonds!

DONT PLAY BELLFRUIT UNLESS YOU KNOW A RIP!!!!!

[Stevie S]

Thanks for the response all! As you say, bellfruit's have always been very bad machines to force but with them being everywhere now it can be hard sometimes to maintain the discipline one should. Barcrest machines used to respond well to a force but these dond machines are dominating my whole area and I am starting to really hate Noel Edmonds' face and his smart arse comments when the sweat is dripping from me lol.

i said dont play them atall not just dont force them.
when have you ever been in profit off a dond ?
not much im guessing.

[Stevie S]

I have done really well with them when like you say, something is going for them, otherwise it is now just a case of a few quid in, hope for a dond board or a decent cob and then off I trot mate.

If a pro plays a machine you cant win! If a pro doesnt play a maxhine then you definetly cant win!

[harry2]

Trouble is Bell Fruits are the best for cash boxes for the pubs and until people stop playing them, they will continue to be sited. Oh to see a decent Barcrest, JPM, Mazooma or Vivid again.

Echoing what most have said here about forcing BFMs - I'm pretty sure that most of their AWPs have force detection. I don't know if that's just a BFM thing or Scorpion 4. I learnt my lesson 5 years ago when me + mate got stung by Pony Express.

they do have force protection. its something that the firm from leeds "concept" have been pioneering for the last few years. and working with the big firms.

Its branded as "adaptive playing" in other words, when a machines getting forced, its just goin to shaft you over.

what next?? youve just put 100 in a machine and then the coin mech goes on lock down... display says "hav that twat" *ping* "next please" lol

LPDOND is foreable in my experience. Tis the only DOND I'd ever try though. Even then I'd do what I do with the rest: play one or two boards and take whatever profit you can!

[silent g]

dunno anything about force protection, millionpoundmaker on youtube forces them all the time.

You can force wows
