Went out shopping with the wife last week in Solihull's centre (historically lots of machines) and suddenly felt the urge to see what was about, I haven't played for at least three years so I had no idea what to expect. I won't bore you with the details but there were machines to be played and there...

Re: Games that have been taken off

I know that this has been discussed before but I am not sure I saw any definitive conclusion. Once a game has been 'abused' and removed does it ever find its way back on to the menu and if so how/ at what point does this happen? Simply depends if the game is considered to be one worth saving. The g...

Since plugging is obviously illegal it isn't really anything to brag about on here. Wrong end of the stick my friend, I repeat lots of players 'appeared to play well'. Proper players would take the jackpots honestly and thus leave machines that would have to be fed to an extent that would render cr...

Compliant Games

I have a friend with his fingers inside of the industry.
