It can't just be me here, thats noticing that 95% of machines around, especially in chain/big pubs are made by bfm or a subsiduary of bfm ( NOT WINSTOPPERS OR ANYTHING I mean stuff like showtime, dream factory, crazy chair, big reds, red alert, bullyseye special prize, italian job etc.etc.) ... bastards, someone go blow up their factory :P

Employees designing fruit machines in the UK in 2008 = approximately 2.

Too much illegal activity. BFG/Barcrest/Games Media cannot afford to take any risks...so its only tried and trusted game ideas.

Try playing a fruit inSpain, every machine plays like the other.

You're not wrong ob. You go in any major chain of pubs and you can guarantee at least 2 out of 4 machines are BFM, someones creaming it somewhere.

My local Yates' (yes its a chavhole too) has a Showtime, a Crazy Chair, a Big Reds (with all the hold/nudge buttons popped) and a new Bullyseye Special Prize. Unless anyone knows different whats the point in going in. Feasibly, and realisticly you could plough £60 in between all 4 and be offered a total of £12.

Never before has the disclaimer of ' at some point this machine will offer the player no chance of winning', or to words of that nature, ever been truer.

I used to like BFM alot. They gave us gems such as Cop the Lot, Who wants to be a Legionnaire, Fever and Rich Geezer. Machines which were immensely playable, had streak potential and NEVER EVER cost £15 for a board.

Slowly but surely, BFM are draining the life out of AWP's - what casual 'change from a pint' player wants to stick £3 in a m/c just to see the reels spin around for 30 seconds? He/she may, just may, see a board every 10 attempts, but I doubt it.

Bellfruits are increasing to an alarming rate, last year i would say the industry was dominated by red-gaming but they are virtually extinct round my town-centre now!

Bell fruit and co. have always had the biggest share in the market.

It has been that way for years but i agree they seem to be getting a bigger share of the market in recent times.
