Ok i was in a pub the other night, 70 snakes 6 in it goes 3 bombs. 70... lanlord come over at this point iv got 40 left in the bank he turns the fruit off and says hes ringing the police.

I reply with ring the police i want my money. i wait in the pub for the police for an hour while hes looking for drilld holes in the machine ect lol. he then asks me what im doing i try telling him its legit hes saying no. i say look mate get a DOND and you wont have people coming in playing the fruit.

Police come and i serched got about 500 on me 350 of this in coins. got caution even no they didnt find anything, done a mad serch of the car ect. lanlord was saying when he rings the suplier there coming to look at machine and if they say it hasent been tamperd with i can get the £40.

Should i even bother trying to get the money?

More and more common now.

Part of the game.

Just bought another suit today, seems like the only way to avoid heat.

Suit, fake phone call from the office. 'Yep just havin a quick pint for lunch, be back in the office soon' etc etc.

Celebrate when u win, change coins back. Bit of food now and again.

Get away with it as long as possible.

Of course you should try and get the money, after all, you've done nothing wrong. Not turning up will make you look like a thief in their eyes. Going in for machines with 500 pounds on you is something i'd stop doing, especially if the pub is a toilet.

being polite and not looking like you're selling drugs and screwdrivering the machines doors off...

Machine gets turned back on by me, immediately. I'm not tolerating that shit. £40 is £40.
Bored of the grind.

Fella. Took one look at me and told the police he checked a machine I played yesterday but found nothing wrong with it, but as its happened twice in 24hrs I must be doing something illegal. Escorted from the pub searched. Told to go on my way and if anything comes up about machines in the near future they would be knocking at my door

I would have made the police turn the machine back on and take the £40. If there is a problem they'll know who I am and have their evidence of theft. Otherwise they'll give it back eventually.

If they refuse to take the cash, I'm reporting the landlord for theft, and if they wont listen to that, I'm making a complaint to the police complaints commision, with their specific badge numbers.

Had a simialr thing a while ago and was assured by police that I'll get any money due to me, funnily enough when the machine was OK'd by the company, there was no money in the bank. Shocker.
