A bit of Spanish Action

Fruitie action, of course 
Just returned this morning from two weeks in Spain. I was putting a couple of euros a day through machines and enjoying playing them for a bit of fun. We've discussed them before - all the machines are virtually identical. They have a lower set of reels and when you get wins on there you gamble them to collect 'Bono's' - bonus spins on a top set of reels with 5 paylines. Think along the lines of Red Hot 6's!
Anyway, tbh I had had really shit luck all holiday. So it gets to the last day, with about 12 euros in change in my pocket I decided I might as well pile it in and hope for the best. After a coupleof euros, I can tell it is playing much better than normal - normally, when gambling on say 80 cents, it will just gamble straight down to the bonos and award one bonus spin. But instead, it was constantly gambling up to 4 or 8 euros before awarding 5 bonus spins! It eventually seemed to die a bit, so with about 8 euros in I transferred to play out my bonus spins.
It kept rolling in 4 euro wins, and in a couple of minutes I had band 28 euros. I was as pleased as anything, more than doubling my money and meaning I might be able to buy a bit mroe booze at the airport!
Next thing, I go back to the bottom reels to play out my last few credits. Three or four spins later - kerching!! lemon-diamond-lemon & two nudges. Nudged in a diamond either side for the jackpot of 80 euros!!!!!
I cashed out 108 euros, leaving me in profit to the tune of 100 euros (70). Not bad when I'd only popped out for a last beer, with a float of only 12 euros! And what a note to end the holiday on!!!
The bad news was whilst waiting for the taxi, I shoved a tenner through the £5 machines at Manchester Airport - they were all dead as fook. But oh well! Got a nice little float to get back on the pub fruities now!
