Yeah Leeds used to be a goldmine centrally...not so much nowadays. That said go north of the centre towards Headingley and you've got a good stretch of 6-7 pubs that all as it stands still have a machine. Tend to find that in a lot of cities now...avoid the centres and head for the suburbs particul...

Ha ha,no I didn't mean literally a pound.I can't remember how much I took out of that one but I can safely put an upper limit of £20 on it,as taking more than that out of a quizzy nowadays is either impossible or counter-productive in my opinion. are there still enough machines around for you guys?...

I guess the fundamental reason is that SWP games offer a lot more playing time for each credit, so they need to take a much higher percentage of the stake to be worthwhile. A fruit machine will use up most credits in a second or two, whereas any decent SWP game should provide a minimum of a minute'...

To my mind, the one thing a quiz machine can offer, that is both suitable from its context and not usurped by better technology, is social play. By this I include 3-4 people drinking, and collectively having a go at the quiz. Maybe a different aspect of social play may be networked Jackpots, but I ...

This must involve some financial outlay.I am reminded of the saying that 'if a job's worth doing,it's worth doing well'. That's the problem though; what cool has written is a wishlist not a business plan. Anyone can demand whatever they want for roads, schools or hospitals if they don't have to fig...

Whining, I don't think so, you obviously either don't play swp's to any significant level or if you do you stand out from the crowd by going around with blinkers on.... I would be surprised if many co-contributors disagree with my points it's just how significant they are. indeed many of them have ...

Couldn't get on a machine today. Reason : switched off awaiting engineer to enable note acceptor take the new £5 note. Amazed though more likely find the machine gone on my next visit. According to the chief exec of their own trade association: “They [quiz machines] are just not worth having — it i...

You might be right about them becoming pro-dominated,bubbles,but I was envisaging games where,say if the jackpot was £50,it would basically be unwinnable until 80 quid or so had gone through it.With huge question banks,and perhaps some time pressure element to the game,that should be possible whils...

I didn't check the Wetherspoons, although that seems to be the final possibility.... It's not had one for years. Sad to hear about the Cat and Canary which was always worth a visit. The final final possibility is the cinema which had one in the gaming area (when I was last there nearly 3 years ago)...
