It was interesting to see a new Gamesnet cabinet on a brief lunchtime sortie. It's the same oval shape and size as the previous cabinet but the grey casing is now black but more relevantly it now has a note acceptor, which can be useful at times.

There were no new games on this particular cabinet - the only change seemed to be that the nice little bug on Top of the Pops had been fixed - but it's good to see that Gamestec (?) are investing in their cabinets - for me they have always been technically superior to ItBoxes and have often had a better set of games as well.

was it a gamesnet coz it sounds like a 5gaming

It's an identical games selection and an identical shape and size to the Gamesnet:

The only changes seem to be the colour of the casing and the new note acceptor. I think as they say if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it's probably a duck. Which means I was robbed of £3 by Deal or No Deal spoilers on ... a duck I suppose!

poxy ducks!!

fixed odds betting terminal

Fixed Odds Betting Terminals - the machines you see in bookies with roulette, poker and so on. They are I understand VERY lucrative for the bookies:

so if you're behind, your only course of action is to keep playing until you're ahead!

Saw one of these today and it definitely seemed to have some new product / have dropped some previous product - no Caesar's Palace, for example. Nice looking cabinet though.

Has anyone seen the very flash new Paragon cabinet which I came across today? Apologies if it's been discussed elsewhere on here.
