Whats the most stupid reason you have been barred for? Not the usual "power cut" or "regulars complain", whats the best?

Dun Cow when it had Golden Dragon banned me because I didn't change up the coins I had won the previous time I was there. Old Ram had Fireball at the time and he banned me because I was the person that was "getting 3 jackpots out every day" and he received a letter warning of somebody getting jackpots out of machines along that road!

The landlord was Swiss or something like that. The waitress was alright though. At least I didn't get the lock in treatment. Unlike the Freemasons because of an alarm which required just a quick off and on to clear it. Phoning DP Leisure and making us wait was not required!

i got banned from my local once for playing a machine too slow,
i was playing a fire ball,
i got on the board with my first pound.
i had so much game play with my first nugget that the manager banned me.
he said "i have never seen a machine give so much play with just a pound & that you are now barred from my pub""

Do you ever get barred for having trained up loads of other dirty no-hopers? Who frequent said pub with you, and generally lower tone?

I got barred for a non playing incident from the local arcade. The manager hated people that knew what they were doing. He had big pointy out ears and I nicknamed him "trophy"because he looked like the FA Cup. Everybody called him it behind his back, until one idiot told him. He was transferred to another branch a few weeks later.

I once got barred from an arcade for opening up there machines with there keys and helping myself to some free money. I was shocked when I got barred, It was about 10 years ago and I'm still barred to this day. Cunts

I got advised to stop playing the machines in a Wetherspoons once because apparently having a bag and a mobile phone is dodgy.

Never seen that manager since.
