I still firmly believe that everyones finger print is scanned the second they press the button, anyone over 40 is not considered 'dodgepot' and their prints are not kept on file, hence their good fortune, nice theory anyway

Manufacturers and operators are grabbing what they can from the industry before it dies. I know people who had never gambled until 500's came out and those same people have lost everything.
Its sad but nobody forces them to spend their time and money this way.
What really sickens me is the advertising on tv and sky. You're sat at home watching tv and are now bombarded with 'free cash' offers for joining certain casino websites. Fucking disgusting. People who want to gamble should make a conscious decision to do so and should be safe in their own homes without a sky vegas advert interrupting every programme.
Nauseating.
And to think they banned the advertising of cigarettes...

OAP's are the golden game kings! Bonus pot every time inside a £5! On the £500s some old boy put a chair through a corals unit last week after losing £2000! Goverment must be making a fortune off these!

Bring back painted shopfronts, no casino games and 10p fruits. The last government went way too far in liberalising gambling laws.

If clueless people gamble they will get fucked over, it's as simple as that. If there was no mallet heads out there a lot of us players would be skint.

What if your gran had done her retirement fund, or been scammed by some Nigerian email or a clairvoyant postal scam ?

When it comes to fruit machines I'd class myself as an enthusiastic amateur. I have no "contacts". My "emptier" in life is to make a much money as I can through my work.
During the £8-£10 jp phase the arcades I went in were full. I could to out during this time and have a fun day and not lose more than £40 but some days win a similar amount.
As the stakes hve gone up £15 £25 manageable, £35 started to hve poorer results, and finally £70's the "fun" for the average player has gone. I say this because I am an average player.
The result is I play them less. I find my gambling fun elsewhere.
So let's take my bad days during the 1998-2000 period of possibly on a day sesh losing £40.... Now it's 4 lots of superspins in 90 seconds!
We wonder why grannies are losing their houses!!
Bring back £15-£25 jp's... Put them next to the 70's, see which ones are played.
