My "consecutive losing spins" experiment - DOND Edition

Ah yes, the seemingly infinite variations of the Deal or No Deal fruit machines. I should've congratulated myself for enduring a bunch of Noel's exclamations of "THE ROLLER COASTER HAS GONE OFF THE RAILS" or "I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO GO AWAY WITH A LOT OF MONEY TODAY". As usual, we knock back as many boards as possible without resetting (unless we absolutely have to). Usually, after extreme forcing these variations, I get two different types of endings:

Persistent GATW: The machine is locked to an Invincible board for the rest of the feature entries until I win something.

Common GATW: The machine gives out frequent Invincible boards, although not always.

 

And here are my results:

Original 4-reel DOND (£35/50p) - Persistent GATW. We always land on streak boxes in the inner board.

DOND Can You Beat The Banker? (£25/25p) - Persistent GATW. Just like the original DOND machine, we always land on boxes which activate a streak.

DOND Casino (£25/25p) - Common GATW. This machine gets progressively harder to force. We managed to get a large number of natural X wins and DOND features as we progress further.

DOND What's In Your Box? (£25/50p) - Common GATW.

DOND The Power Five (£35/50p) - Persistent GATW (at least with the 50p stake). I lowered my stake to 30p and I didn't get an Invincible board (must be 2 separate pots?)

DOND Hall of Fame (£35/50p) - Common GATW. We managed to knock back a lot of feature boards by taking no-win nudges until we get stuck in the invincible cash trail.

DOND It's Your Show (£35/50p) - Persistent GATW.

DOND The Crazy Chair Casino (£70/£1) - Common GATW. I somehow managed to get an Invincible DOND feature as at one point, the boxes are taken out in sequential order from least value to most value and the logo was flashing.

DOND Box Clever (£70/£1) - Persistent GATW. I was able to knock back boards by getting a couple of Hints and Hi-Lo gambling out of the board.

DOND East & West Wing (£70/£1) - Persistent GATW. This machine is giving me nudges almost every spin.

DOND Feeling Lucky (£70/£1) - Persistent GATW.

DOND Game On (£70/£1) - Persistent GATW.

DOND Red Alert (£70/£1) - Persistent GATW.

DOND Road to Riches (£70/£1) - Persistent GATW.

DOND The Big Reds (£70/50p) - Persistent GATW. - We always land on Mega Shots.

DOND Think Big (£70/£1) - Persistent GATW.

DOND Break the Bank (£70/£1) - Common GATW.

DOND Deal Wheel (£70/£1) - Persistent GATW.

DOND Double (£70/£1) - Persistent GATW.

DOND Seal the Deal (£70/£1) - Common GATW, although the fruit ladder Jackpot wins get really annoying.

DOND The Big Deal (£70/£1) - Persistent GATW, same as Box Clever

DOND The Crazy Chair (£70/£1) - Persistent GATW, same as Box Clever

DOND Live (£70/£1) - Persistent GATW. Very annoying to force as any line win is auto-collected.

DOND Dream Factory (£70/£1) - Persistent GATW. This machine gave me a Mega Streak before I can even do anything in the feature.

DOND Eliminator (£70/£1) - Persistent GATW. This machine was the easiest to force as it was giving me hold opportunities for seemingly forever after holding 3 non-winning symbols most of the time.

DOND Go All The Way (£70/£1) - Persistent GATW. The Hint message says that an Invincible board will come in the next feature after starting it up, and the logo will flash even outside the feature board.

DOND Make or Break (£70/£1) - Persistent GATW as well as nudges every spin. I also have a £100 version, but I was not able to force it into persistent GATW (It did however give us a bunch of Jackpot line wins).

DOND Dream Offer (£70/£1) - Persistent GATW. I didn't expect to force a 5-reel DOND slot to the point where it's giving out a bunch of feature wins (all of which results in an invincible board where my offer is always 70 quid). Then I switched to a 25p stake and it was giving out maximum £50 wins left and right (I also swtched the machine to Demo mode to preserve its happy state).

DOND Play The Game / DOND Mega (£70/£1) - Common GATW. Respins will give me 3 bells very commonly, and I also get Mega Streak shots very frequently after those 3 bells.

DOND Cops & Robbers (£70/£1) - Persistent GATW. The £100 version is Common GATW.

DOND Bank On It! (£100/£1) - Common GATW. This machine was forced so heavily that at one point it was giving two "GO ALL THE WAY" messages in a single board (one presumably for getting 3 red phones and the other is just random). It was also giving out holds nearly every spin. We managed to knock back a few Invincible board by collecting the CASH BOUNCE feature and not winning anything from it.

DOND The Red Mist (£100/£1) - Common GATW. After knocking back 4-5 boards after the machine starts up, an Invincible board is triggered.

DOND Red Hot (£100/£1) - Persistent GATW. (P.S. I find it off-putting that a Hyper Streak is apparently below Mega Streak in the Streak Freak feature).

DOND Right Deal Right Time (£100/£1) - Common GATW. This machine was annoying to force as losing on the first cash ladder gamble collects that amount instantly.

DOND Rapid Round (£100/£1) - Common GATW. Very annoying to force as any line win is auto-collected.

@TheSecondLugia try Live The Dream (or the clone Desert Island Deal) by stopping it from boarding and see what happens if you get the chance.

IIRC you can purposely stop that boarding by holding a reel that has no feature icon in view. I think that's correct.

Forgot to add Desert Island Deal/Live The Dream to the list. We managed to get pretty far in stopping the machine from boarding until it forced 3 phones on the winline at about £30 in with no wins. This machine proceeded to give me £70/Jackpot Repeater on the Cash/Feature Shot spaces on the first shot after about £200 in (even on Normal boards). At about £800 in, it went into persistent GATW.

Thanks for the update, most DOND machines on £70 jackpot would force a board within about £15 but LTD/DID had the quirk that you could prevent that. I assumed it must eventually force a board so good to hear your outcome of trying that and the eventual result.

Your box will be CASHPOT

DOND Eliminator also had this quirk, but it will always give out nudges forever until I eventually board in. With this, I managed to put about £300 in and play it through without getting a SINGLE feature. After this point it will lead to a persistent GATW.

EDIT: I forgot I already mentioned this on my list lol

Realized I had repeated what was described in the original post.
