Fruit Machine Chat

I see se leisure have taken Ivor Thomas and capital coins lead and decided to float their machines with <£20. Even the pubs are getting annoyed with this now, just had the barman in one complain about them being a joke not floating stuff and machines keeping on going IOU.

Times must be really hard for them. A group of us really should get together to oppose their operators licences.

I know for a fact that the owner of se leisure has a fruitchat account so it would be nice for him to reply to this, not sure he will have the guts to though!

Had a STC floted with £40 when put in and IOU for £65 from £8 in! sick

You dont mind when they pay it out the till but thats like 1% of places do that. you know the heat is gonna get worse as soon as you ask them for the money. Good that even the barman was getting annoyed (at the siter) their is absolutly no need to float a machine with anything under £150.

Id constantly play it with 50ps and IOU it for £1 and then ask for the money just so they gotta get someone out. They wanna be cost effective then be cost effective with them!

John Oversby-Powell is the MD and suspect his son Andrew is Operations Director. John owns 66.7% of the business and his wife (?) Sally 33.3 %.

You could always phone their customer services up and enquire about their refilling policy on 01622 791617.

Pretty sure Andy Powell runs it, he is a fruit chat member anyway.

I am so so tempted to set up my own operating company. It would be so much better than these clowns.

Something i've often thought about doing myself. Really ought to do it one day, as there is obviously money in it, and it wouldn't be hard to do better than the others.

I've done some basic maths, and it seems to be fairly reasonable.

With low staff costs you could make a decent living with 50 sites.
