My cheapo nasty refil key snapped

I was out all day today and although I only used my key on 3 or 4 occasions, I still wouldn't go out without one.

It can save you the hassle of spending £9 for a board that kills you on the first spin, especially if it's a machine you can easily key BEFORE sticking any money in.

It can also help you spot a machine showing signs of life from the back-end of a streak. For example, if I stuck a quid into SMTM and was offered the £15 blue sevens, I'd instinctively gamble it. If I had the prior knowledge that the m/c was already £70 short, I'd collect it and not be fooled into thinking it was nearing readiness.

At the end of the day, I do agree that the need to key machines isn't great - it's just a sort of safeguard against unnecessary losses to keep in your pocket.
