Been to a few of their pubs today, usually floated fine, but today all they had in was the money I put in...

Ridiculous, Especially when I ioud one for 48 and it was ready for more.

Gamestec have been doing this for years. But it only seems to be in certain pubs. Not the daily refil ones tho. Funny that ain't it. Probably because they can't get away with siting a machine and then using pub money to claim they've fully floated it knowing that it will be £300 odd off at the end of the first day!!!

Petron are mostly Kent and south east aren't they. The odd one or two of theirs in Essex.

Yes, they are in the south east but I think based in hertfordshire?

Ivor Thomas and capital coin also have atrocious floating levels, there really needs to be something done about this.

At what point do they think it's a good decision to float a £70 jackpot machine with a tenner??

I can only presume they think nobody is gonna win on it?

Meaning it will gradually float itself over time.

I don't think ivor Thomas are even that stupid.

After all they try and get me barred from pubs whenever something goes IOU on me...

I know for a fact that there's a couple of jealous cunt Gamestec engineers who'll never authorise a payout with my name and number on it, which is why I'm getting a 2nd number and will never use my real name again. Bitter fuckers.

Gotta admit that If I saw "Machine owes master of Games £90 07********6"

the name would sound sour to not pay it.

try using a normal name like Dave and they will pay them
