A few weeks ago one Friday night I threw about a tonne into a Cops n' Robbers machine in a busy bar in Belfast. The thing is that after two quid it gave me the 3 keys and the an opportunity to get winnings in the £20-plus region on the winning board that flashes the winning amounts. I missed the final £23-60 one and instead got £5-80, causing me to throw in vast amounts more.
I later mucked up a jackpot by hitting the wrong button and threw in a tonne in all. Now I was consuming a fair few Budweisers - I had to keep supping as I continully was in need of change from the bar. I ended things by punching the machine so hard that I smashed the complete top section of it. My hand was cut loads and I darted out of the place. Luckily for me the machine was hidden away upstairs and I was the only one who saw what I did. I went back to own up for my actions the following day and felt like a right scumbag for this act. I vowed to make this my "farewell" to the machines, but have pumped a fair few more hundred into them since.

Andy,
The 3 key cash shot is pseudo skill, so you didn't miss £23.80. It nearly always only gives you a tiny bit more than what you've got anyway, which is annoying! These are pretty much unforceable, and i'd only recommend you playing a board or two and hope for a superboard. Otherwise 90% of boards lose on £3. Stay well clear!

"Sixty percent of the time, it works, every time!"
Wow, first name terms now!
Well Matthew, fair comment.
My worst experience has to be Addams family, 160 in for an Addams Family Mega, first of all missed the last £25 accidentally hit £5( was hitting the £74 top
) so did myself out of £20 there, Then it ran off it, and I was too determined to get AF mega again so I kept turning the m/c on/off and the IM was still there, however after 3 times the machine reset itself, no IM and no £55 bank!
Ouch.

Wouldn't say it was my worst, but one of the strangest.
Was at the local traveling fayer, and walking past the machines, when 4 large people physically ripped one of the old aristocrat machines from the stand and absolutely legged it.
The fact it probably contained about £3 in 2p's didn't deter these hardcore players, nor did the fact there were about 20 policemen around.
