Lets set the scene village pub has a flicker go in get a 50 offer jackpot in the box ah well flicker soon after so there was a bit of fire fRom the staff went out for a smoke landlord came out twice just standing at the door staring. Anyways next day the machine was off with a bit"out of order sign" this was left for a week and just like that the flicker went for a bank job. Suck it imagine going for it just to wind them up 80 in for 140 and its the one that spits out tender then dump the lot well i get even more fire landlord comes right up behind me looking over then i go out for a smoke and he keeps on coming to the door we counted 6 times in the space of 5 minutes joke! Anyways just got to the pub and gone in opps the machine just lost power bankers!

That's what I thought you meant.
The only Bankjobs that "dump" the money are the ones that paid out £3 at a time..............

I have 4 local locations that are now shut/closed down/up for lease etc... all of them would be like when it came to machine players, not saying that the few hundred a week they made on machines would of kept them open, but makes sense why the places fail with idiots like that running them.

Machines make % (in most cases) No pub will close down because somone has had a jackpot

But if a regular punter takes £70 or more out of it there is more chance of it being spent in the bar that a pro on his route.
Especially vital to a non-chain pub.

The thing is some landlords think that EVERY person that plays the machine should lose on it.

These posts & threads are old hat now.
Just get used to the idea that no fucker wants a player in there pub and i dont blame them really.
Sure they lose trade in the machine and half a fat coke,But they keep the spending locals happy
Why you all still moan i will never understand
There are 1000s of places you can go in so why cry ? The cat cant allways get the cream you know
Theres far too many vultures in this game.
