Guaranteed repeats are not legal (afaik). You must have missed a true skill repeat.

"credit breaks" make it legal..

wins that are <£35 in total are legal, so if its a guaranteed repeat of say £4 or £5 and it repeats, then its definitely not illegal

thats why sometimes the machines take credits, and sometimes they dont..

I think what harry was saying is that by law it must never offer a more than 50/50 chance of a repeat.....which is why it will always say win again yes/no, repeat yes/no etc rather than just give it outright. The cloesest you can get to a guaranteed repeat is the trueskill, but even this is technically 50/50, though totally weighed in your favour.

When you lose on an eleven or two and the machine alpha says "UNLUCKY".

When your in a pub with a CCP and a Holey Moley. Some bird who works behind bar is playing CCP pretty clueless to be fair. Holey Moley no where near ready but made a few quid £3.

Bird who work behind bar runs out of money on CCP which is now buzzing big time. Then switches it straight off and produces an out of order sign from behind bar. Says to other lass behind bar haven't got any money till friday will switch it back on then ! ! ! !

THAT PISSES ME RIGHT OFF ! !

- Consecutive bankers messages on DONDs saying "COB will be Lose!".

- Pressing the wrong button after a few jars and collecting £1.20 instead of red MS!

- Missing a dead cert chance at JP / MS by being 'too eager'!

- The old chestnut about bar staff / owners / landlords and all their shifta chicanery.

- Having good old Reds replaced with a BFM

There's loads more, of course.

having your golden game carted away and being told a new one was coming ,expecting a ggg to arrive,only to find another gg but only one base unit with a 3 player top flash nailed to the wall about 10feet above it :x

Dealing on an offer of £20 only to find MS in your box
Not dealing on £20 only to find 10p in your box
Hearing "Mines a pint" when you've put over £100 in for a £70 top.
Getting Hot-Hot-Hot on a GM only to die within 3 moves.
Hitting lines off your 1st quid in a dingy little pub only to find out it's an autopay

ops:
Finding a good red with a broken hi/lo button

People thinking you've won when your £250 in for a £105.

When playing machine normally and the alarm goes off (usually when you have a decent bank) and you have to leave the machine.
