Bell-Fruit Games - Cat C (AWP) - Double Deal or No Deal

[Dougsta]

It's kinda laughable isn't it. They must be having so much success with these machines.

Surely saturation time must be approaching, where there is no sense in continuing to develop new DOND machines because they are ultimately all the same, and the market is already flooded with identical games.

When there are already 50 similar machines on the market, what difference does the 51st make? If people want to play DOND then there is already ample choice.

There's an old saying about London - you are never further then 5 metres from a rat. That is also fast becoming true about DOND AWPs

So could you potentialy get the two mega streaks? cause if your invicible then i dont see why not.

Edit: don't forget theres still 'The Perfect Game' in the pipe line, well we have all entered the new plague of DOND, hopefully somebody will have a cure for it.

Well that would be interesting, but I doubt it would be possible. If you are invincible and the Mega Streak is in the box, I would imagine the ROMs are smart enough to leave you Mega Streak and 1p on both sides for your final deal. That way the offer would be about £17.50 on each side.

I don't think you get the double prize when you open the box - just if you deal prior to opening the box.

Don't think you could get two streaks

"If player chooses to deal, the higher of the two offers is awarded"

[gambogaz1]

There might be 2 game boards but only 1 box so no, you won't get 2 Mega streaks. It tells you on the site how it all works.

"If player chooses to deal, the higher of the two offers is awarded"

• If 3 phones are lit in red, when player chooses to deal, both offers are awarded

Surely this is just another way of offering the new £70 jackpot?

It wouldn't be impossible for the player to have say Mega Streak in the box, and get an offer with say £35 / MS left on each of the boards.

[gambogaz1]

Yep this is defo designed for the new £70 JP's, so at the moment you'll be getting ripped off on £35 JP because it'll have to have a programme block in it to prevent that scenario from happening. I Imagine it'll be impossible to get 3 phones red to activate the double bankers offer until the £70's are out.

[Dougsta]

Yeah, didn't think about the new £70 jackpot. Bencrest and gambogaz are correct for sure.

There will be a £70 ROM that allows combined offers to go above £35. Until the £70 is released, there will be a block on the DOND feature that ensures the 2 offers cannot add up to more than £35.

[gambogaz1]

Yeah but it should have the go all the way feature in the rom somewere that turns all phones red.

That is a damn good point. Interesting to know how they get round that.

"Pressing 'Deal' awards both offers (maximum is jackpot)" is written on the top glass (a hidden lamp, presumably), so bang goes all your £35/£70 conspiracy theories chaps! Also, as the banker never offers "Mega Streak", then you can only get MS if it is in the box, and you 'No Deal' all the way to the end, so the machine isn't dealing with two offers.

I don't see what the problem is - at least Bell Fruit are coming up with new concepts for games, albeit under the one licence, rather than just cloning to death old concepts (look at red for example). DoND machines may be everywhere atm, but the main DoND game is the best way for a regular player to win a reasonable amount and therefore attractive to punters. For that reason alone, pubs and clubs will want them, as they will get more play.

[piesthecat]

this is getting rediculos okay maybe 10 can be made but i think it 34 made now but still 15 donds is pushing but we r in the 30's now are they are runne out of ideas i bet the next 1 looks like a pile of dump . just hope they stop making this money $&%#ing off machines

I manage a pub and our DOND takings are double the other machines, so there must be a market somewhere....

We will just have DOND arcades soon lol

From every DOND i've played, if youre invincible the offer is Jackpot every single time

True that. I was in town today and wandered into one of the few arcades that are still in business. There is a row of 8 machines as you walk in the door, sitting on their own. Every one of them is a...guess what...

I put £4 into a DOND Crazy Chair, got offered not even a hold, and fled that arcade like it was on fire.
