You're thinking on spoilers is exactly what we should be getting away from. Machines in the heyday (80's / early 90's) used to block by the sheer number of easy questions but not actually giving out any money. At least the mug punter had a good length of game for their money and weren't made to feel...

Their last creation Pub Pod was an attractive cabinet from afar until you looked at the quality and paucity of games. It's a shame really. Used to speak to them quite often although this company exhibited the paranoia in the gaming industry. They were hardly guarding state secrets.
