They appear to have staked there entire company on the success of Noel Tidybeard and one shit tv gameshow.

I would love to know how much they paid for the licence, it must have been Millions, judging by the amount of of machines they have put out there. I thought 3 was pushing it but I read on a forum somewhere that when you include the SWPs there are over 20 DOND games:eek:

It certainly must have been LOTS.

I can easily believe there are 20 versions, we were trying to think of new versions on the Mecca recently - although we couldn't come up with any quite as strange as "Crazy Chair"!

Times have changed, asking for unemulateable roms is annoying for some people

plus theres probably 1 post a week asking for DOND roms & layouts
but yea, keep quiet about asking for stuff like that

Nah, it's not that good. Jokes tend to be funny, even watching the old man play Crazy Chair makes me want to remove my eyes by shoving lemon slices from behind the bar into my eye sockets.

The local one is also played by / tampered with by the owner, which doesn't help, but yeah - it's pretty bad. I actually believe that on a lower jackpot, these Deal or No Deal machines could be quite entertaining, but with the £35 target + streak potential of up to £140, there is no real 'pleasure' to be gained from them.

The only one I played by myself was in some posh chain pub in Southport, IIRC it handed my arse to me on a plate, complete with all the trimmings. Not one of my better gambling afternoons.

I wish that these machines could be emulated, at least then people would realise that they're unplayable and stop playing them for real, then they would fail and stop being released.

I never thought I'd see the day Gary said the above....

Finally he has seen the light and is being swayed away from the devil that is DOND....

I didnt think my message warranted a new thread, but relevant towards the DOND machines. I also know we dont talk about hints/tips here, but it's more of a clarification of something that happened last night.

I was on Crazy Chair in a club, playing on 30p a go as opposed to the 50p that EVERYONE thinks you need to play to get the boxes. Anyway, was playing nicely, a few quid in, for a few quid out - basically just recycling passing the time away. But then I decided to do a few Cash or Bust's because i've heard from mates that they've had some good results, but only when its showing NOT to be a typical £2 board.

So with it costing me £3-£5 for a board on 30p a play, I did two Cash or Bust's getting Lose on both accounts. Got on the board again, had a 'message from banker' decided not to take it, carried on thinking it was a good board as a Boost from bonus put me up to £3 red and Rise n Fall. However next go was a ??... But instead of collecting or Cash or Bust, I collected the 'message from banker' while on the ?? and it said, 'the next number will be a 2' - which for some reason i thought was weird, am I going to get a hi or low continue - which I dont think exists on this machine? So I Cash or Bust, and to my shock I got Win Stepper for £29. Anyway, I decided to put a few more quid in being about £8 up - plus the music was still shit, and got on the board after about 6 quid... The signs were good again, two messages from banker, boost up to £4 but nowhere near the main Deal or No Deal game. Anyway, again, got on a ?? and was going to collect the £4, but had a message from the banker still - pressed it, and it said 'the next number will be a 3'... So I thought f*** it, Cash or Bust, and again to much amaze another high feature which was Win Picker for £20.

Now call me naive, an optimist or just damn right stupid - but these 'the next number will be' messages corresponded to the features top to bottom i.e. Mega Streak = 1, Win Stepper = 2, Win Picker = 3. All I want to know is have I stumbled across a little cheat that as part of the DOND's cheats that were phased out after a re-chip, thus being an unchipped machine?

Cheers

Quite interesting

maybe if someone tried it on a different machine or it happened again, maybe its a hint then

WRONG !!!!

How? They could prevent sites hosting the roms and the layouts and artwork etc. But the emulator itself isn't illegal. Nowt they could do. Besides with the current economy, I doubt they could afford a lawsuit.

Bell Fruit Games (formerly Bell-Fruit-Manufacturing) fought to get the pub jackpot increased to £100 before it was agreed to stop at £70 @ £1 spin.

If Barcrest will threaten to sue me for Photoshop©ing a fruit machine decal for a home-owned machine down to £5 from £15, I'm sure Bell-Fruit, if pushed the wrong way, could also snap.

We don't have a DOND at work (huh?!), but I'd LOVE to see, on paper, how their percentage is worked out. A bit like a Red Gaming (also unemulatable), there must be something to hide. I want to see how much return is paid out for say £200 staked playing each board to the players best advantage.

As to whether the emulator isn't illegal, I'm afraid that's still a grey area. This isn't the old official MFME released directly by Wizard, this is a version with an intentional MPU5 workaround (circumvention of a protection mechanism) and I'm pretty sure that would be classed as illegal if investigated.

i dont see what the problem is anyway. i know the likes of big reds, etc suck, but i just cant stop playing them due to temptation. having emulated versions will obviously decrease the amount of people gambling, but in a way thats a good thing. people cant afford to gamble big amounts in pubs, and just increasing the stakes all the time isnt helping. makers need to stop being so selfish. i know the economy sucks right now, but maybe if they gave players more of what they wanted things wouldnt be so bad. i say dual jackpots ftw. a low and a high one, same with stakes.
having emulated versions will just encourage people to work out tips and tricks anyway, so may be likely to carry on playing as normal.
