DOND - red alert

Mattb · Post by **Mattb** » Sun Aug 10, 2008 11:47 pm

No, you get to a box which opens the middle trail, then you spin round it a la R2R. Phones are obtained here. Similar to big reds with board values usually dictated by feature shots offered. DOND game the box has red lines across it making reads difficult, but with the stupid bolts they have on £4 and £5 you can still work it out roughly. It's also a sack of shit, avoid it.

I stumbled across one these yesterday in a Varsity. £6 in and its a GATW for a flat £35, tried another board £6 again and another GATW which gives a 2nd flat £35 MS. Thought I'd be cheeky and try for a 3rd GATW but it wasn't to be.

One thing I won't be doing is rushing out to play this again. I can see plenty of £10+ boards, big gaps between boxes and the majority of features will be turd. Plus, I can't see the 'bonus gamble' being worth much either.

Will the bearded man ever be pensioned off? Or will he carry on racing around A-roads in supercars naked? Who knows?

This is way past getting ridiculous. How many poses / lairy shirts / beards can the man have? He must love being in almost every pub in the country.

My local Spoons has:

-Big Reds
-Dream Factory
-Crazy Chair
-Can You Beat The B-wanker

Along with a RtR and a Cluedo. Surprised that a Spoons has 6 machines?!

Anyway, not seen a Red Alert, Red Alert It's A Catastrophe (

) yet, and don't really want to by the sounds of it...

Threw a fiver in one last night and the damn notey swallowed my note. Probably a sign.

You have toolers to thank for that. Basically now when you insert a note into a notechanger, it goes through boarding and passport control, gets on a plane (whirring noise), it is flown to a laboratory in a sercret location. Here it is analysed by the same team of scientists that break down the meaning of codes such as "There not playble if you enjoy getting 40 tops and losing its red because of it faor enough and good luck to you!" which appear on here from time to time. Once it is verified as a note, it is flown back to another secure location. Eventually, when all the paperwork has been stamped and authorised, you are issued with £5/£10/£20 of credit. Maybe.

If a note is crinkly, wrinkly, may have one foot in the grave then it is returned. Unfortunately due to baggage personel strikes and drunken pilots, it sometimes ends up in a special cache, a cheese and onion cache to be precise.

The best way is to carry £300 of coins around with you and look like you've just acquired bulgitis, a bulging disease that makes things like pockets and ASDA jeans bulge out in all the wrong places.

I've just had my Italian Job (The new rubbish version with the DOND board) replaced by one of these, has anyone got any decent info on them i.e good features or ways to play?

I know 'Open the box' can be pretty good when ready had £15 a few times.

can swallow for a board though like most £35 JP nowadays.

Same as any new DOND. If the board offers 50/50, cash code, win stopper, turbo cash etc then its a dead board, take whatever and recycle or leave it. If it offers take a chance, dial up dosh etc the board has a bit of value and can be phones. These will do shit boards even when flying though so beware!

Is there a method to these, i find them irritating to play and after putting £60 in for a 'go all the way' which gives a flat £35!! prob not be playing it anytime in the near future

I played on Friday and won £8 off £3 and walked, then my mate puts £2 for £5 and then 20 mins later he tells me to have another go, I got phones and he started to act like a pissed up idiot and kept jumping in pressing no deal before I had chance to consider my offers. In the end I had £10 £20 and MS I dealt at £20 stupidly as I had MS in my box.

This Machine now makes me feel sick and has prompted me to stop gambling for good after the £140 loss on it the other day!.

First £2 in a centre board with a £33 offer left with MS and £2 ended up sacking it off and getting the £2 from then on it just took and took and took.

£25 for 2 boards

£10 later no board

after another £90 and over 30 phone offerings !!! with no MS or JP i put my final 15 coins through still no avail!!!!!

Ireckon this is the worst DOND out ther lol!!!!

a lesson well learned never force these fuckers!

If you're offered £33 then take the profit as you'll only get flat £35 on MS anyway.

Best thing to do is to watch someone else play it. Not many people will have the guts to no deal all the way. That you get to see the kind of offers availible and then you can decide if you want to play or not.

Mattb · Post by **Mattb** » Mon Dec 08, 2008 1:44 pm

Erm, the offers made have NO relation to how ready the machine is!

greenbelter · Post by **greenbelter** » Mon Dec 08, 2008 1:47 pm

Could be right but in my experience which isn't too much I tend to get MS as the offers increase

This isn't the worst DOND, not good but not the worst.
