Hello all!!

Post by Spin »

Born in the north east, Spent my early days in the arcades after school jumping people on machines. Quickly found out there was a quick buck to be made from machines. Went up and down England playing jpm mainly. Worked and saved hard for a good few years before taking a 6 month trip across the world. Came back to the UK and got my driving done, I dint have to depend on a driver or trains/buses anymore. After checking a vast % of England for fruits i decided to give Scotland a look as i had a uncle there. What i found was amazing at 1 point i had over 15 cash beasts within 50miles i would do these once a week. i stayed up Scotland for about 3 months, Then it was time for wales and Ireland, Wales was good and Ireland had a few towns i would do but it was harder due to travel ect. It was when Barcrest brought out some new games that could be done more regular when i knew this game could set me up for life. I worked very hard on games such as dosh and pecks battle axe things like that. not long after a mate of mine was doing the casinos and boats we decided to meet up as i had seen a few of the games he was working on on my travels. Had a few days doing a few of his routes and it was time to split, Anyway on the way back home i had a snooker club to do, As i was parking up a van out of the blue came right into me. Luckily none of us was seriously hurt, I was a little shook up so i decided to have a few drinks in the club and get a room for the night. The next morning my wrist was killing me and had trouble driving. I later on had it sorted out but it put me of driving so for some time. I was only going out 3 days a week after that until my dad had some work down in London and he invited me down for the weekend for abit of company. Free hotel and that so i gave it a look. I soon found my way around and in no time i was back full time playing fruits. I stayed there for 2 years living in hotels maybe going back up north 2 times a month to visit friends and get clothes ect.

I had bumped into an old friend from school he was on a day trip, We decided to meet up the next day and go for a few drinks and catch up. The subject turned to what i was doing for work so i said "ill show ya"" big mistake as i had played a few super holds around the arcades with him. He was hooked and soon was ringing me every few days asking what to do on machines. I then had to change my number as i had made a big mistake. He had bumped into another pro from the oxford area i think and had a few bits of info from him, I saw my "mate" around London alot that winter but he soon stared hitting the blackjack and lost contact, Still he had had a good 3 months from the game and was lucky to get that. He went back up north and back to work thank god. That day i swore to myself that i would never be so foolish.

It was around the vamp it up time that i went back to 3 days a week as there was more and more people at it each week. So the 3 days i would be working i would do the same towns and villages each week, Going back down to London once a month for a blast. Then it was wobblers darts and extremes and i was back to full time again (obvious reasons :) ) Did very well of them and when ziggys came out it was just getting to easy again. Then 35 skill games with my jpm days the skills were a doddle. Had a good time on power5s and 4reels. Pretty much depended on wiyb up until 70s came out. Been working hard the last 3 years and just moved back down south so had a good month off. Will be back out monday..

Coming to a fruit near you ;)

Quite a randomly told story, emphasising on strange little points like how your wrist was killing you after a night in a van? You started playing at the same time as me by the sounds of things but you sound lightweight - Psychos once a week???
