Full, middle game ready straight away, NW offered immediately, should have had and binned, didn't, done bollox, was pissed, headache, starving, no sleep, all profit + more gone, burnt everything else so not much chance of profit today, still pissed, cant be arsed to leave house, cant be arsed to travel anywhere else, day off, shouldn't have had day off, parking ticket, still feel like shit.......Could carry on but wont.

Heh, unfortunately it can offer that and then it does a houdini and disappears for £40.

Did someone mention that Monopoly Hot Property can do the same? (not sure about SNW, but had it middle ready etc)
Yep. Uncle Moneybags showing up there, then next £40=£2/hot shot boards. Oh yeah, the £40 after that wasn't too great either.

It's wierd how these machines are so similar, it's like they're clones or something isn't it? Yet they have completely different names, so they must be completely different machines.

Just odd things, the Mega Streak box has a massive dent in it. Play any machine long enough you notice odd things.
So you are playing Jiggy banks because you know the MS box? it gives this like well its rare as theese boxes and random and jiggy banks can take the piss for phones

I'm happy playing it as the punters in the pub don't have a clue. They lose, I clean up usually.

On Temple Of Treasure the landlady of the pub used to play it all the time. When she got the follow me feature she used to get a calculater out from behind the bar and type in the sequence ie 132231233. When I told her just to hold down the reels for an easy jackpot she barred ME for fiddling the machine.

Has no-one been told they are using magnets? Over the years i've been barred from 5 pubs with that one - back in them all now tho.
It seems a favourite excuse round here.

Yeah but u can't buy lime n soda etc. It will only be a matter of time before u get barred from any pub if that's all u're drinking.

My mate used to do it. Blackcurrant n soda water, straight to the machine, take his money out n leave before finishing it.

He's barred from most pubs now.

Like I've said before, not getting barred is like a completely seperate skill to gambling.

Don't forget people talk. I have bar staff ask me what I do for a job..

I am ruthless and hardly finish any drinks, plant pots and carpet come in handy along with the toilets!

and I am barred from about 5 pubs out of 50 so not too bad!

Its hard to finish drinks, I only do it in the sweet ones!

In my last pub we had a DOND 4 reeler, there was this guy who would come in during the day not buy a drink and straight to the machine. After 5 minutes he would grab his cash and run. I only worked nights but I had a look at CCTV so I would recognise him and sure enough he tried it on my shift. I ran over to the bandit and unplugged before he could get to it and got a
"whats going on?"
"its broken" i replied
he says "well when it gonna be fixed?"
and i goes " about 1 minute after you leave"
regulars had a laugh and we never saw the twat again!

surely people are not leaving full drinks next too machines after pulling a big bank out?? talk about clueless!!! how hard is it too pour it away somewhere outside, never leave a full drink next to a machine you have hammered, its common sense really

This is why you see the plants outside pubs dying. People keep pouring diet coke on them

i had a chinese lass bar me in scarborough because "I know too much."

I'd just got there, and i'd never played there before, so i'm not sure which part of my general knowledge offended her so much.
