Anyone got any thoughts on this new Bell Fruit "trick shot" machine, its the one with the LCD video screen and game?

What do we all recon to it?? - please share your thoughts good or bad as I haven't seen it anywhere and it looks good, but haven't been able to play it (which maybe a good thing let me know!).

Thanks Martin.

I've played this a few times... I've never seen pool balls defy the laws of physics so much, the pockets are either blackholes or covered by an invisible forcefield depending on the machine's mood... but what else did you expect?

yeah its not that bad but prefered the golf one on the same theme called crazy money.

We have this machine at work and it's generally not so bad, (someone got jackpot today on the first roll.. 2 nudge jackpot)

We rarely get to 'shoot pool', but it's ok. Must admit though I prefer one of our other machines, (mazooma's around the board in 40 days)..

Would love to have these on my pc so I could play them when I'm not at work

Regards,

I think it's an ugly piece of s**t!

Sorry Snakey but I'm afraid it runs on Scorpion 4/5 so this is unemulatable tech...

heard a nasty report on this one on the cma. to the effect that even when in theory it is due, it is nigh on impossible to force out.

Novotech, trickshot pool and court case spring to mind....

Club Trick Shot is not only Scorpion 5 but it uses Adder 5 as well. This means BOTH technologies must be emulated first! I am 100% sure of this. I even picked a brochure on this very machine at ATEI 2005!

What have they got against animals???
Scorpion 5, now Adder 5!

and their old video boards were cobra technology so i seem to see a theme running here.
