The Scam of Non Payout Calculation Thread

For quizzers and players alike. Post the number of machines/quizzes that you play on average a week, and any non-payout that you fail to get. I'd be interested to try an calculate a rough national percentage of just how much is robbed from the playing community with this info.

Soemthing like:

Avg. Play a week: 100 machines.
Scammed For: 80 pounds.
Scam Location: Pub / Services / Arcade etc.

for each time that you have been scammed.

Recent scams only please, e.g starting from last week.

I'd say I get 99% of my money at least. So even that is only a £ in every 100. But I've also had it in my favour many times. Some bloke got his nugget stuck in a quiz today, it didn't come out so I gave it a shake when he left and was a £ up. But it didn't make up for the 1r I lost on the spank the banker.

I can count the IOU's i've been bumped for on one hand thankfully, being accused of using a magnet always raises a smile, what on plastic reels? Aaaaaargh!!!!

I once had an IOU for 74.00 from an On a Roll. It went berserk. We had the whole 250 and then it ended in an IOU of 74 too. Heard romours that this could happen, although super rare, maybe OB had a few?? Anyway. It was a local pub, I received a phone call from the landlord a day later saying if I came anywhere near the pub he would break my legs. He went on to say that he checked the cameras and my friend was standing next to the machine, a well known scam. I told him I would involve the police, he said just, fuck off and put the phone down. Ever since that day the pub in question has never had another machine sited.
