A load of the big pub chains around my way
r being refilled every day by the managers,
is this a nationwide thing, can anybody else confirm this?
and is it because of the keying factor?
Its a pain in the arse

Yeah a feww big chain pubs near me are doing this. Ive goty a mate in one of the pubs who tells me how much it was refilled. To be fair its pointless keying machines when they have a note changer on them anyways, if they dont have one then thats a different story.

Does he know if this is requested by the m/c
companies or the pub chain, toothless?

Only one i know of round here that refills daily is spoons/lloyds bar.

Refill meter at the top just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Whilst on the subject of spoons, my mate actually streaked dond btb on Friday night.£30 in for £60 odds back.

He forced the jp out followed by a go all the way board two boards after the jp.1st board after jp was only offering £3 ! Followed by a few steals of cash or bust for some semi decent afterplay.

Lucky begger.

Im not sure, i think its the pub's idea. He's a good lad, tells me how much the machine was refilled... gives me a little idea of its state of play. This is quite beneficial especially when its a red gaming.

all spoons and lloyds around the country refill every morning and its company policy due to us emptying them all the time. to give gamers a false idea of how much is actually in them.

Its more to do with keeping an eye on the cash in/out situation.

Its a lot easier to manage from a pub owners point of view by refilling the hopper daily and checking the electronic meters.

refill everyday is annoying, they must have an endless supply of coins, round my way its common for all 4 machines in a spoons too be £150+ light [note changers]. thats £600+ too refill most mornings, and why were on the subject why do people insert a £20 note, get a £3 return of the £2 credit and collect the lot?? they love too let every coin hit the tray with a smug look on ther face :roll: . yeah good luck mate don't spend your pound all at once.

its amazing how many things are ready when there £100+ off

These chavs just like 2 b 'THE MAN',
they r clueless and want 2 impress the ladies,
Most players, i think u'll all agree with, like 2
keep winnings discreet, ie; cupping hand under
2 catch coins, the mark of a true player :wink:

Yeah, why attract attention? If anyone ever asks me "wow! how much did you just win, i would always say, "bloody thing, ive just lost 40 quid in this!" Even though i just made 50 on a SA :P .

Thats the way its got to be done if you are a serious player. You can't help but attract attention sometimes. Especially if you have 70+ in a global!! :lol: Like a bloody machine gun.
