Brand Name: MOUNTIAN DEW Not a typo by me. Although Hex Maniac is the follow-up to Hex Appeal, I find Appeal on as many cabinets as Maniac. They mainly dot the takeaways in my city centre, and pleasingly so. Ending a night with a few Appeals while waiting for a doner wrap is a guilty pleasure. :D

I've had this once before, but I think it was an itbox deciding not to work.

I thumbed the monitor like a man possessed.

The SWP version: For £1 credit you start on £10, with the format working exactly the same, except you get 30 seconds instead of 1 minute (and a bit).... and the third/fourth question will be along the lines of "How many minutes of football did Ray Parlour play for Arsenal?", with the avail...

I'd happily watch the matches at home, then pounce when the primitive pub folk are starting to disperse. Time it right and you won't feel the pressure to buy a drink. :wink: You just have to hope the machines are working to be on the end of their mug-caused munificence. Any breakdown is, as you say,...

I tend to aim for points and bonuses, rather than playing to subject strengths. I like to think I can catch the points board unawares.

, they refused and said they only had money in the safe for the racing ifor the next morning and there was nothing they could do. That's nonsense. There's nothing in their policies which tells staff to forsake FOBT players for the benefit of horse racing/greyhound punters. The truth there, is that ...

They said they couldn't pay you, but you proceeded to play anyway. It's not justifiable then for you to feel angered or disappointed. A typical banking formula for bookmakers is "Cash In Shop - (75% of holdover + FOBT allowance) = Money To Bank". The holdover (£) is the combined total they...

One conceivable way that SWPs can remain exempt from AMLD is by housing only quiz games such as Pub Quiz - where the prize amounts are always achieved at set points. It's been so long since I played Pub Quiz that I can't actually recall whether it's the same number of questions you have to answer ea...

A great loss.

I watched a programme about him last year in which, among other things, he was on a stage in an American university hall where he displayed his wealth of knowledge to an audience of students. Truly staggering stuff.

Voted Paragon, but of the terminals listed I can't say I've seen anything other than itboxes, Paragons and Gamesnets. Living in Cumbria I'm probably another two years away from seeing the other terminals. :( Gamesnets have a small choice of (usually poor) games, and itboxes need redesigned underneat...

Played on an ItBox - Issue 67. Aside from Itbox Soccer I can't say I've had much success to report on sports-based quizzes... Until I played on this one today. Reached £5 on my first go, which by my standards is something to get ecstatic about. No spoilers encountered up to £5, and even as far as th...

Thanks for the replies. I've stumbled upon the required list. Current: BMW Sauber, Brawn GP, Ferrari, Force India, McLaren, Red Bull, Renault, Toro Rosso, Toyota, Williams. Defunct ones: AFM (Alex von Falkenhausen Motorenbau) AGS (Automobiles Gonfaronnaises Sportives) Alfa Romeo 1979-1985 Alta Amon ...

Frustrating to get 10/20, only to be given your £1 back. Frustrating game altogether to be fair. Must have put £15 into this, only to return £5. No more.

Well, I'm not a hardened quizzer, nor am I much cop, but along with a mate who is a fan of Stephen King and Terry Pratchett, we managed to play on Hex Maniac for a good hour last night on the same pound coin. £1 win, lose, £2 win, lose, lose, lose, £1 win, lose, £2 win... you get the idea. Things In...

I will employ any tactic to win on these games. I once had a Sudoku solver on my mobile, which sadly I'd used only the once since I needed a friend to play the game while I copied the puzzle. You need to put about 10 numbers in before you've ensured there's only 1 possible outcome, which I know make...
