Cool, I agree that it might be a bad idea in a particular area, but a friendly question on this forum asking what a player's favourite games are at the moment seems different to me. For a start, not everyone on here plays purely for profit, and also it is more likely on here that we're gonna be spre...

I've never won myself, but a few of my mates have won 1 or 2 quid a couple of times. I think once you get used to the aiming then you should do better out of it, tka. A tip that I've been told is to aim for the wall for a rebound instead of going straight for the hole, especially on uphill slopes, a...

Barry, I'm not aware of the trick in the original Silver Falls, but if it meant that you could win on every play, what would happen if there wasn't enough money in the cash pot to pay out on the other games? If each game is controlling itself, would they still be aware of how much money there is in ...

Wow, nice to see I sparked such debate. Sorry if my thoughts were misguided or whatever, but as I did say originally, I had just got in from the pub. I can guarantee you that I'm not an insider, just a normal bloke who prefers the quiz machines to the bandit. Anyway, as far as this quote from tka go...
