Fair Comment 9 times out of 10 I go to the end. I had just lost so many times that weekend that I wanted some money, any money. Every time I've No Dealed at that stage in the past it's wiped out the top values straight away - trust my luck that this time it was willing to pay out. Still - it could h...

Damn - came so close to the £70 at the weekend. I went on a trip with the lads and as usual we were playing the machines in every bar we went to. Our luck wasn't in though as each one gobbled up our £20+ without a glimmer of a return. So Sunday morning i'm a couple of quid into a Deal or No Deal whe...

I'm really tempted to just put some money aside one week and force a machine - I want to break my duck. Any tips on the most cost effective way of doing it? I know that it's all chance playing straight but any advice on what type of machine to go for or types of location? I'd rather spank £150 going...

Put £10 in to 4 different machines last week. First one - nothing, second one got a fiver back, third gave me nothing and 4th got my tenner back. On the third machine - I got up on to the board and kept going round. Built up £15 on cash and had super feature for the 'deal or no deal' type game which...

I think the most i've ever got in one win was £40 - and that was a cash or bust. I've won about £80-90 in one night before but that was 3 separate wins. I must have lost a small fortune over the years. I really don't know why I still play them as it must be maybe 1 in 10 times (probably less) that I...

Never won a jackpot on a £70 machine

I'm your typical chump fruitie player who knows how the games works but doesn't have any inside knowledge. Whenever i'm in a pub i'll happily stick a tenner in - maybe £20 if i'm feeling it. I don't know how long the £70 jackpot machines have been out now but in all the years that i've been playing ...

What 'win ratio' would you expect

Take your average player who knows next to nothing about fruities (well they understand how to play them but not 'play' them). Say they go and stick £20 into the machine in their local boozer every Friday and Saturday night and just collect whatever it pays out. On average, how often do you reckon y...

hi earl gravy, welcome to fruit chat. was that glendale you met in the pub & taught you a few things. I wish someone would teach me a few things about Fruities! Could do with reducing my loss ratio to below 90% ;-) Seriously though - as a casual-compulsive player for 5 years (have to stick £10 ...

Hi i'm Ben - 29 living in Berkshire. I'm just amazed from posts here that anyone can make a profit out of fruities. I'm strictly a low spending part time player but must have lost a small fortune over the previous 5 years or so. I'm sure i'm cursed as in all that time i've never won jackpot - maximu...
