spoons changing every machine?

just went into my local spoons and noticed that they have gotton rid of all the DNOD;s apart from one. and raplaced them with different ones such as monopoly, millionairs or something like that, but also in my local spoons in south wales (live in 2 places) they have changed all the ones in there?

anyone else noticed this in their local spoons? or is it just me?

It's been a good month or so since a single machine has been changed in any of the 5 spoons where I live...

fair play to spoons tho they do seem to update regular which has its pros and cons,

eg if you like the machines bad. if you dissslike them. good.

Are you joking??

They keep some for ages
I know of one that had a perfect game for 18 months
Even when they do swap it's usually DOND out DOND in

My 'Spoons tend to frequently change as well. They recently acquired a DOND AWP with a computer screen at the top, although it isn't on Bellfruit's web site.

There's also a Barcrest called Take It Or Leave It (DOND-esque) and it has RGB LEDs at the top which look pretty neat.

yeah my spoons in derby has that. the TIOLI has been there for a few months now but the DnoD with the LCD screen is about a month old. no one seemed to play it tho. they stuck to the DnoD gold or power 5. im thinking possibly the power 5 wasnt chipped tho. always someone on it.

6 different DONDs in the Hamilton Hall at the moment (the Spoons outside Liverpool Street station) - along with a Bank Job, a TIOLI variant - both of which feature a DOND game!

Great to see such vision in the design of games nowadays ...

6 AWPs in one pub?! That's more than the AWP-count in most arcades nowadays!

Wetherspoons with Chilvers machines change once in a blue moon!!

One Spoons has DOND Gold, DOND Box Clever, Bank Job and DOND Banker Rings Twice and has been that way since roughly June last year with Box Clever since late 2009.

Another Spoons is TIOLI Crazy Trails, DOND Box Clever, DOND Make Or Break, DOND Double Take and DOND Double. The 4 DOND's have all been there since May last year with 1 or 2 since late 2009.
