Of course is doesn't make you a rat.

And neither does it make you inferior to the longer serving player.

You have savings which means you've approached the game as should be intended. I know plenty who have fuck all due to casinos, fobt's drugs etc, and that's their own faults.

It's how some go about playing that piss me off. I was in Maidstone services years ago when this grossly overweight moosh walks in with his friend. He sees me hit the Rovers and tried to make himself known by rattling his coins in his pockets. Pleb.
He played the Red out for minimal profit and was congratulated by his mate saying "Mate I want your respect!"

By the way, I mentioned the fat guy cas I don't like them.
I hate it when they say "I can't help being fat - it's a medical condition".

No mate, it's called cakes.

Narks me tho cos I've struggled with my weight all my life. And I've got pals who are on the piss 24/7 full English everyday and a takeaway most nights who don't put a pound on. And to say you “hate" somebody cos there fat. I don't know grant Mitchell but he does come across as more intelligent than that. Oh and knocking on doesn't help

The problem with digital though is the Munter having a choice of 10+ games to play per unit. Certain games could take months to recover.

I expect Bellfruit (who are part of Gamestec) will introduce their Gamestec Digitals on a large scale too. No more finding out whats in your box.

Electrocoin appear to have stopped pub AWP production & Empire Games continue to churn out gash machines.

I'm surprised they have'nt come up with a solution to stop people from knowing what's in their box? Quite amazing they've let people have this huge advantage all these years, obviously digital would fix it, then there was that game that had Red lines partially covering the box.

More like they can't think of anything original and have given into the fact they are now shit at making fruit machines.

Wouldn't have said that 3 years ago!

I didn't say I hated fat people!

I'd perhaps buy into that bullshit if I didn't have more money than 99% percent of players I know.

Sorry, it was a flippant generalisation with no malice intended. I was talking about people who don't even wash before going out fruiting, never mind change their clothes. They don't think about the future, they just bulldoze in with no grace at all, they fucking stink, spit all over the machines, don't give a fuck who sees them and then just spunk the money on drugs, booze or an unsustainable lifestyle, having brought it on top for lots of people in the process. Then when they see someone doing a trick that they don't know about they threaten them, feeling they have the right to know everything. These parasitic fucktards usually go around in packs of 3 or 4 and all claim benefits, don't have car insurance, can barely read or write.

They weren't the sort of people you wanted in the game because they weren't ever going to do you any favours. I wasn't talking about you or anyone from here.

That Bad?

I can second that. Karl and Shawn, never met two people that lie as much as they do, complete idiots. Never really had too much of a problem with Ant though apart from how much he allegedly shares info, everytime i see him i will stop for a quick chat.
