Fruit Machine Chat

The July 09 date is simply an extension of the new gambling laws that came into force in Sepetember 07. How many 'non gambling premesis' have machines in apart from takeways and the odd taxi rank. To be honest, I'd say its quite insignificant and won't effect me just like the majority of people.

To put the rumours straight, there are no new laws or government changes coming in this September or even the following one. It all happened September 07 and I would imagine most players have realised the changes that have come into force. As far as the quote that says pubs are losing players to boo...

Could anybody who plays on the south coast or knows anyone who does please pm me.

Been at it today since Nobles opened at 8.30am and just more or less finished, so I think Im entitled to earn a good whack. Not saying its everyones cup of tea to be working hours like this, but Ive probably visited over 50 pubs today and wouldn't be happy with myself if I'd only made £200. I set my...

'Looks like the end of the beginning of the fruitie machine business. All we have had in past two years is DOND from Bell fruit, Barcrest nowt' Sorry for posting again so quickly, but I've just returned from a 15 hour £450 Friday and Im reading this and it feels like I must be on a different planet....

What was you post a few months ago trayhop?

What did your psychic powers predict?

Can't really see how the fact that 27 pubs are closing each week is really linked to fruit machines (sure I've seen a figure higher than this in previous years) Obviously I know fruit machines are in pubs, but this is seen by most pubs as an extra sideline than anything else. I play across a wide ar...

Been visiting there on and off for the past 7 years. Now have properties to stay in (I don't own them) in Harrogate, Leeds, Newcastle and London so just mix my time up really, keeps me on my toes.

I think the previous post by JG sums up what a lot of players will probably go through at some stage. I've always thought its really important to differentiate between people who go out to gamble on the fruits and those who play them professionally, what I call career players. Most players go out wh...

Its ridiculous to say that a good reason to get a job - instead of being a full time player, is so you can contribute to society. When your first starting out in life the most important things are making some decent money and enjoying what you do, as long as your doing no harm and its legal. Most pe...

Shall I take the job or Shall I stick with the bandits? This is a question that always crops up now and then for many a fruit machine player. Ever since I've been involved in fruit machines people have always said things like 'they'll be finished in a year' and 'this won't last much longer' This was...

Haven't used these fruit machine boards since the rat pack emptier, which is going back a few years now when my playing partner had moderator privelages on 2 of the main boards (not super arcadia) I used to post on gambling guide when it first started, under a different alias, but my mate tells me t...
