Dreams about fruit machines
Posted: Mon Nov 15, 2010 1:20 am
I had a such dream last night, where I thought I'd ask you guys if any of you've had related dreams? We've all probably had loads.
I dreamt that I was in Australia, where naturally I don't think there are fruits. They have "pokies" don't they, but I'm not sure if they're %-based or random? Anyway, I found a bar, bought myself a beer, and lo and behold, there was one of the Noel Edmunds DOND AWPs. Also, it was in demo mode so I could play it at no cost. I was on it for at least 10 minutes and managed to get a jackpot. Of course, not real because it was in demo mode. My dream also remembered that the currency was the AUS dollar and the machine's jackpot was $100 AUS. The alpha display then said "Attempting to shut machine down by bar manager failed. Please see bar manager". The manager (or at least a member of staff) came to me and issued me with a flyer saying that I could voluntarily quit playing fruit machines after 6PM on every night between now and April 2011. Rather like an AWP curfew. I said to the guy that I so rarely play after 6PM that it wouldn't apply to me. I finish work at 15:45, might hit an arcade, play for half an hour and I would be home long before 6PM, and I do that about once a week. He replied - playing half an hour? That's a long time to play on fruit machines isn't it? No matter how I replied, he was insistent that I was an addictive gambler. I managed to shut him up by ordering myself another beer :-)
I had another dream some years back about Mazooma's Rolling Thunder. Instead of 3 numbers though, it was 3 letters, A being low, Z being high and therefore having 26 outcomes instead of 12.
