Don't know if anyons had any similar experiences - but I just lost around 140 quid on a pulsation in the M1 services. That's not what i am really bothered about though - i didn't know what the fuck was doing and deserved to get raped!! What was really strange was that every machine had huge pause before spinning the reels - sometimes of around 4 seconds. I have seen this in other services too. All the machines were on 70% too.
Can anyone shed any light on these pauses?????

That's the one - although BB gave me a nice £80 streak for £15 in. Which part funded my pulsation nightmare! lol.

You must have had a few tops in between on Pulsation.... was it showing from the off or did you just try for a force anyway

Wasn't playing at all at first. Stck £15 or so in with nothing before going onto Bullion. Went back on after Bullion to try and recoup. Got 2 tops in all that time - flat £25 and a £30. Shouldn't have played it as I don't know the features, and it is truly a shit machine to force - especially with the £10 red sevens!!
The price of boredom!

never say never buddy! I was once like you - "no more than X pounds".
The problem is X increases over the years. I've been playing now for 17 years and X is now £600 in a day. ( I once blew £8k in 5 weeks on roulette). Like any addiction - gambling slowly creeps up on you - so, don't look down on me - you could be in the same situation in future???!!
I gamble coz I enjoy playing - i used to play for profit in a semi-professional way - but I would just get bored waiting. Good players have lots of patience - That aint me! I LOVE the buzz - win or lose!

I'd never play in a service station out of the fact that I know they are so well covered by 'pro' types.
I'll stick to pubs and around once a month try out an arcade which has a great selection of machines.
A pulsation should 'never' take that sort of money without some sort of substatial win, providing you were playing it reasonably sensibly!

Depends how you were playing? if taking stuff and recycling it could gobble all day.
I once watched a guy for 3 hours put £140 thro a legal tender, just incosistantly collecting wins. Went on it, 50 in 55 out. Left it due to mass sweatiness.
