Fruit Machine Chat

This weekend I took BAB, a poor man's BOB around the pubs. Firstly a black CAT crossed our paths as we GOT on the BUS. That spells good LUCK for our voyage, no TRIP around the west END would be useless with BAB in TOW. Soon things were looking UP (are you even allowed two letter words?) as BAB type...

This is pretty true. Nowadays I find machines are either ultra-playable or practically impossible if someone's got there before you. Has Nuts been chipped or something? Was acting very strange today with almost double the amount of questions! I could be wrong but I think the extended trail is one o...

The demise of the pro is inextricably linked to the fact that multi-game machines replaced "stand alone" games where the money taken by the machine only had to go into one winning pot. This meant that you could find the same machine "ready" often in consecutive days. Now you can ...

Our local Ember Inn (Mitchell and Butlers) which has had a quiz machine since the 1980's has given up the ghost being replaced by a potted plant.

I'm not a pro, but over 15 or so years of play, which have included times when I have made some reasonable sums from SWPs, I've only been banned once. Even that wasn't expressed as a ban - I was playing a pub on a central London council estate when I realised that the landlady and two meatheads wer...

Quite a lot of bans, but most of them are a while ago. Seems harder to get banned now, probably because there's more chain pubs; small locals only type pubs are the worst. Was playing several of them the day after those newspaper articles, felt very self-conscious but seemed to get away with it! In...

Beat the Clock what a great game that was 40 quid jackpots seems like a lifetime ago pissing around with 5 pound jp's doesnt quite have the same buzz My local college had one of those in the student bar until the new rules came out. In March this year there was one in a chippy next door to Southpor...

had a couple of 40's out of wwtbam myself but they would have been on 1 or 2k for a quid lol, the thought of people doing it from 16k for a quid beggars belief( i might have been able to get a couple of quid lol). fastest finger would probably be a spoiler with a fast countdown and the nasty questi...

By the first guy to crack Millionaires I meant a guy who was so good he was doing 50p in £20 out every time before it triggered the splits. He could cope with the 250,000 split but there was no point after that, since there were so many about. The £27,000 in a week was on a little known tournament ...

Wasn't he the guy who was allowed to answer football related questions in each round he played in?

A new SWP on a type of unit I've never seen before. The game itself is a pretty good copy of the actual show. You start with a round where it asks you questions to build up your money. You get a minute and 25p for every question you answer correctly. Each wrong answer generates a penalty of 5 second...

The machines are more within the control of the manufacturers now than at any time since they arrived on the scene in the mid 80's. Either this guy isn't winning anything like as much as he is saying or for some unfathomable reason his forays have gone unnoticed. Given the speed at which Bully and B...

Hello everybody - haven't been on here in AGES - probably due to having lost all desire to play machines these days. Was playing 'New' Nuts the other day - ie. we ain't giving you a bonus easily and if we are we certainly ain't giving you covers for cash early doors. Is the end game now a skill sto...
