Why ask for any changes and then say your not going to do any...

You could try increasing the force of gravity, also maybe cheat with the camera angle and have the domino's slightly inclined but with clever camera work they can look level.

problem with that is that if there inclined, the gravity soon sets them straight

i may have got it now, i increased the bouncyness of some of them, but there are some "side effects"
it wil take me about an hour to see if it works

I didn't mean tilt the domino's ..lol I meant slightly incline the floor the domino's stand on.
Maybe you could lower the mass of the domino's so they fall with less force.
