good post EWQ. quote 2: as i see it there are several ways to play this game, as you say, playing for profit is not financially rewarding (used to be though, £200 in a day was easy). DAVEJON seem to play for kudos within their own boozer, their tactics may be poor by your own criteria but by theirs ...

is the ucl bar open to the public? i work near there occasionally. the too-many useless Qs is annoying but what gets on my dandruff is that there seem to be so many words the machine doesn't know: zinnia and zebu for example and jete and aquae and ixia and God knows how many more. i am getting close...

catharsis
sorry but i disagree with this thread. personally i feel very humbled when i see certain types of people gamble on machines. some people, really cannot afford to play, but do so in the vain hope of winning a few quid. it is really cathartic. eg1. old boy on pension, drinks 1/2 pint and probably can'...

best choice of games
we all know that less is more when it comes to win potential. imo the paragon cabinets (upright machines, nine games with pint rests beneath edges of screen) have a brilliant selection at the moment. and i have had the best %age profit for a long time as well as actually enjoying playing on a choice...
