Saw this one guy trying to force a red machine (forgot its name) who had brought his daughter with him (must of been under 10), whilst forcing however he ran out of money so left a few quid in the machine, and darted back to the shops just round the corner and refunded all the clothes he had just bought his daughter, and used the money to carry on !!! Unfortunatelty he still never got it !!

This same guy i hear had started banning himself from all the main pubs in my area, then one night he appears in a local of mine and wins a jp on SRM. He then tries to see what the second board is like and befor you know it all the jp has gone back in, the bar is closing and their is no note changer!!! What does he do, he asks who has change, my mate said he had 12£ who the guy gave him a twenty note for !!

He didnt win with this and the pub kicked him out.........But guess who was queing to get in an hour befor opening times ?? - know that cos mate is a manager there!!

Just made me think.

This is one of the reasons why i don't really gamble now.

How many people would be able to go up to a machine and win on it after seeing some little girl lose all of her clothes?

I know that usually you're getting money that people can't afford to lose anyway, but seeing that i wouldn't be able to do it.

Yeah you shouldn't gamble when you have kids. You have to get your priorities sorted!!!

Saying that, my mate takes his wife and his son into pubs to play m/cs! If you key an extreme when its ' all fired up' (If you know wot i mean) then he tends to get away with it. Managers/employees don't think twice when seeing a man with his family playing a most daunting!!! :D

Fair play

Your mate the manager,

I suppose he flattened the machine after closing time so that one hour wait the next day was all in vain!!

I have never took my kids out slotting, but last year, when we went 2
Blackpool on the train, there were keyable extremes
on every connecting station, my kids, 1 either side were
the perfect height 2 cover from prying eyes :P
Although, like toothless says, i dont condone it...
