skill blackjack. choosing from three dealers is a nice touch

spot the ball. like the old, old game but with more sophisticated photoshopping.

some peculiar timing game. made by BigFizz so i should be coming in my pans but it is not my cup of tea.
think that was it. i'm all for some diverse skill games as opposed to 25 Q&A games but these three don't do it for me.

Aye saw a completely new front screen line up today but unit would not take any cash (coins or notes) and so did not get chance to take a look- thought there might have been anothe rone as well?

skill blackjack: Unless I was missing a key tactic this seemed very harsh, dealer gets 21 all four player hands get knocked out, game over. This is without going into the disadvantage of not being able to double down or split cards.
I didn't try spot the ball, my pouskanonphobia prevented me.
The countdown timer game thingy: Seemed to be a vague potential for winnage (with huge potential for spoilerage also), but so shockingly dull that I lost interest even faster than I lost money.

Got £3 out of skill Blackjack in one game but beforehand it was pretty harsh.
I have to ask though which dealer did you choose?

If it's the same game I'm thinking of, that one has been on the Gamesnets for a few months now.

I tried out all 3 dealers, apart from the graphic I didn't notice any differences.
I think the timing game is called 'right on time', I don't recall seeing it on any machines before but I could well be mistaken.

There is no difference between the dealers but people seem to always pick the Dark haired girl with the big boobs.

i picked her too; throwback to that old strip poker game on (merlin?) cabinets. the one where you had a choice of four scraggy harpies and the fit one. i used to play this in the snooker club at uni, not sure if it was called merlin but the terminal had a very friendly tetris game and the old, old, old, old scrabble.

I'd say that generally, in any walk of life, that is a pretty good choice to make.

You hear that game designers out there more games with the big boobies

Hence the topic title...
Anyway, would be interesting to see a few new games, the current selection has stagnated with me somewhat...

Are these games on all ItBoxes or just test sites? Title suggests latter but amount of contributors perhaps suggest former (I played a Paragon at lunchtime so didn't check!)

just test afaik, only played a couple of itboxes at the weekend. one has always been a test site and the other has always been a fossil. so don't know for sure.
