How long were you playing until your first banning? What was it on? Mine was about 3/4 years into playing (I looked young and innocent back then) and was a vivid in my local! I was stunned at the time but needless to say many, many more since! [/u]

Mine was quite recently, 90 in for 70 out on a Mummy, guy told me he was sick of me always winning(?) His mistake was to not tell any of the other staff i was barred, i went back once more when he wasn't working, next time it was gone.

My 1st ban was for playing a Great Escape. He said he'd got me on CCTV fiddling with the machine. That was back in 96 I think.

Impulse aged 16 in the sister pub of the one I collected glasses in, she saw me get a few jps on cash frenzy and didnt know about cancel for 11th heaven. Could drink but now fruits. Few months later got barred properly as came in at 11.30pm put 1 in spice is right and it dropped in cherries and hi lowed to jp and it repeated but funniest thing was top glass was bust so I said look I cant fiddle it and a doorman backed me up. She got sacked in the end for taking out the safe to bet with and she never put it back.

Also got banned same age from Royals (now silvers) as found out was underage but as fate would have it the manager was doing cover at a branch 20 miles away and collard me there one time too!

First barring i got was on a £25 Extreme about 4 years ago. Never made loads out of it usually, but the pub did awesome food and i used to use the fruity to make a quick tenner or whatever value it had and get myself a free lunch on my route. Got told I was taking the pubs profits, and about week later they took it out and never got anything else in!

From Namco Station in London for "fiddling".

The amount of people that go in there though they never spotted me anyway.

Was that because of the Jiggin Riggin?

I got chucked out of a club once because I was drinking too much whiskey, but as with JG, no fruity related barrings here.

I got asked to leave and not come back for hitting something like £20 on a red fast cash on never mind the jackpots years ago.
