The Broken Button Stories

The area is Liverpool. Now, we have all had broken buttons "pop up" every now and then, but I think someone is taking this a bit far now. There's a Yates, ALL 6 machines. Yes 6, have had their button graphics taken out. Looks very odd, so poor Bobby Joe with his beer change won't have a clue if he's pressing deal or shit outing and busting?!?

That's not the end. 4 x take it's have had their change stake buttons popped, a smash also. And EVERY star wars/dig it nudge button is broken.

The bonus button is also popped on 2 electros. 

Even unplayable stuff is broken. Like 5 liner level up's and the DOND button on some units. 

Also had at one point a CYC super feature button broken, didn't notice until it offered it too! 

This really does force me away from the area a lot of the time as either the companies won't fix then or they just get broken again. 

Anyone else having it like this? It's not Been this bad for a while but seems to be getting worse. I suspect it to be the work of a "good" player too who finds things not ready so he just breaks them. 

Moan over now lol.

How do you actually "pop" a button anyway? Its very rare that I come across a machine with a button that doesn't work.
Before the obvious replys start I am only asking for nosyness purposes feel free to PM if you dont wanna put it here!

all i did was take pop off the plastic cover with a eating knife and put the decals inside different buttons lol.
i dont know how to "pop" buttons so they dont work for anyone other than you, altho that can be profitable on certain machines i suppose.

I played a Barcrest Rainbow Riches £70 AWP this week, and the reel 3 button was faulty. You could still depress it but it was non-responsive. If you had the number 2 in view and a hold offered, it meant that you couldn't hold all 3 reels to add 2 + 2 and get the trail's bonus. If you were lucky enough to enter the feature game, and it primarily being a hi-lo game (lol), you weren't going to get very far if you couldn't go lo! So here I was on 50p red cash, had 12 on the number reel. I couldn't go lo on that 12, so my only option was to collect or use the gamble bonus button (same thing as in Monopoly Road to Riches). In the end I just collected the 50p. Luckily it repeated to £8 so not too bad overall.
