Fruit Machine Chat

If you lads had a choice to "enhance" the gaming experience on these boxes what would you fancy 2 c?

Tournaments? How bout Instant tourneys? Community features=interaction with the competition? Live multiplayer (side by side) competition )picture a live Tetris match against a bloke down the street (winner takes all).......

Ideas?

Yuck, how appalling. Why do would-be/game designers always assume that niche games can set the world on fire? Further more, why would you think that anybody with a great game design would give it away for free?

Ideas? Offer us money!!

Not sure if I'd like to play Live multi-player side by side on the same screen. But with a lot of pubs having more than one SWP machine it would be good to see networked multi-player games within the same pub.
Or even challenges between pubs in the same village / town.

oh boy... set the world on fire? Money? You're way in left field mate...

The only $ you'll get is by beating me in a live quiz game (unlikely)... ALL I wanna know is if a live game against REAL people instead of against a score/computer interest you?

Or Poker?

Already seen something with 1 vs 1 in a pub near me. (after 15 mins googling..)

What your talking about seems different to SWP though, chess, poker, etc are longer games than most quiz games so I'd guess larger prizes for it to work. Wonder if that would work legally? Otherwise wouldn't it just be like a video game, or AWP?

Oh, and I couldn't be arsed with playing anyone in the world, that wouldn't sell it to me.

about 18 months ago, one of the test itbox issues had a live pool game whereby you'd play against somebody else in another boozer. also battleshits with a similar realtime opponent somewhere else.

to my mind this smelled a bit like fish (smelt a bit like fish would be neater) anyway.
i only saw it in one pub ever (quite near itbox offices as it happens) and when i played it, there was immediately an opponent for me. it didn't make it to general release so presumable it was a failure.

The only one to one I'd enjoy is watching a catfight in my local. Quiz pro's tend to be solitary creatures whose only interaction they want to make in the pubs is with the machines.

Live games against other people in real time? That's a fantatstic idea.

What a shame it's called the internet.

lol exactly

Just a thought: If it's 'winner takes all', how does the machine make any money?

Here's another thought: Are you that bloke from a while back from skill4prizes who did those godawful Betfred SWP's then came on here to try and get us all to play them?

His creative processes seemed to revolve around asking other people what to do rather then thinking for himself.

You make a good point... but dont think people will stop winning just b classed with fellows at their level.
