Agreed - Brighton in particular is completely besieged by players. You're more likely to spot the Queen bungee jumping off the palace roof than you are to find ready machines. Hastings isn't so bad as it's a fraction of the size of Brighton, and it attracts far less foreigners who sit and shark all day. Plus there is plenty to choose from. Portsmouth's pubs have well-punted machines but generally quite a young (and wise) crowd so not usually easy pickings.

Eastbourne pier has a huge fruity-infested place on it, it's practically a Barcrest museum, and an aged community playing them. Not a bad place to find some value. The pubs aren't exactly 'covered' by players either.
This machine may at times offer a choice where the player has every chance of bankruptcy

Margate should'nt be 2 bad 4 a punt, i used 2
live there, been back a couple of times in the
summer months and generally found most m/cs
alive.
The backstreet pubs r the best places 2 punt here,
but be prepared 2 step over fisherman joes
fishing nets upon entering the pub :lol:
these pubs r usually only entered by the locals

I live in portsmouth. Good machines down here, usually get all the new ones in as well! Portsmouth has the most pubs per head so happy days!

Doesn't mean you can come down and do my fruits though!! :wink:
