Not that I'm anywhere near Birmingham, but...

RDB has to be the poor relation of the three machines - RBD, SW and RR. Surprisingly, I've found both SW and RR quite rewarding - although I won't go into a pub specifically to play one - it'll be a fallback position when I've finished with the others in the pub. RR seems to be the best for me - it may only be small beans, but rarely lose too much on it - simple to tell where you stand with it. Any loss would come from it costing for a board and then not being anywhere near ready.

Anyone played a SW with the volume on full pelt? Tediosity! (?) Everytime you put a coin in, 'Welcome to... blah blah...' Get's a bit embarrasing. Having said that, it's a shame that so many machines have their sound completely off - one of the more enjoyable parts of some machines... I feel a thread coming up...

rob da bank are the most generous, but fuck me mate...you must be getting desperate...

Heh - it must depend on what the general punters play in each location. People around here seem to love RR - so it's generally always worth a shot - had a good few 'features' and tops for <£20 in - again, as I said - small beans only and not worth going out of your way for by any means.

RDB always seems tight - plus the feature is that bit harder on this one...

I watched an old boy pushing for the top feature on a Rainbow Riches, after getting £50 odd in it offered the feature at the top of the stack thinking it was the best one he took it, he was fuming when it only gave him a score, he had grandkids round his ankles and he looked like his head was gonna burst

Seen a lot of people take that thinking it's the biggun.

I've pointed it out before - and it's not exactly rocket science (what a crap game THAT was!) - the features are numbered 1-16 to give a hint as to the value of them... 14 and 16 are the ones that interest me.

Anyone ever taken 15? 'Think' it's Crack The Code, but if 14 is pretty much always the top, you'd 'hope' that 15 would be an easier top?

Or a Rainbow Riches, just check 2 pubs and I'm sure you'll find one!

Yep, Rainbow Riches is the tighter of the 3 for a certain playing style. All 3 are reasonable though, if i've got nowt else to do i will go in for these, never usually go too far wrong.

Ah yes, RR is not fond of setting-up, of course. I do find that a bit tedious sometimes on the other editions though - 'sometimes' better to just go full out (or not bother playing it!).

I think someone said before (may have been your good self, Matt) that these are a poor man's Cluey. Agreed. At least they're better than...

-Video Cops n' Robbers
-Italian Job
-Video Road To Riches (why oh why do so many people think it's spelt 'Ritches'?)
-Majority of DONDs

...that have infiltrated most of our routes...

RR in the newish spoons just off the high street in Brum, lots of other sweeties otherwise as I found out on a bender last weekend.

Actually, come to think of it, Newt and Cucumber had Rob Da Bank
