ok so we've all heard about the better results you can have on machines ( mattb come on lets see you post here mate! :P ), so I thought it might be interesting to hear the flip side which seems to be willingly neglected on this site!...this is from various machines over the last few months!

Red gaming: £35 invincible, red first board (properly ie. all red bar 1 for 1 nudge) £150 for a top £35, followed by numerous other £35 tops for a total of £40 loss

Barcrest: Cock a doodle dough £35, cost £80 from £4 happy first board to give £35... lovely... (reforced.. pointless), was full btw

Mazooma: Pink panther, £60 for lines, £25 wow! (ok it was dead to start but £60 for a set of lines... amazing!)

Global: Money magic £35, offered £27 on the first board, cost £110 for a red money magic which gave £70.. loving it!

Extreme: Jailbirds £25jp 50p play, £3 on extra cash first board, £40 for £25, then afterwards, £50 for £25... lovely!

Maygay: Jewel in the crown £35, £10 happy first board... £60 for £35, GETIN!!!!

There's loads more filth's but I'll leave it at that.... come on people, lets hear yours... especially you matt, lets hear about a time you didnt get £75+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've had plenty of bad hits ta. :P Probably not as many as some other people (the only recent one on that list is the FNC last month).

Recently, £200 into a FNC before it rolled. Got £50, £25, £50 and some afters.....ended a good ton down.

£110 down on a Take Two.

£140 into a KKC for about £90 back.

£50 down on a pulsation that kept giving shite tops.

£65 in for a flat £25 on maygay JITC with 0 afters.

my biggest ever loss on 1 machine was about 2 months back on a barcrest flash cash, full first pound, got too about £50 in and had'nt had a sniff of a £25 so decided too play for the free one as it was red boosting at this point. before i knew it i was over a £120 in so then i decided to hi-lo it because i've had decent results doing this on all fired up and shark raving mad. bad decision, too cut a long story short i was £190 in and the alarm went off :x :x :x


told the lad behind the bar and he said i'll have too ring the engineer. told him i'd put a bit in so can he ring me when its fixed which he agreed too do. went back everyday for 3 days, when i finally found it fixed tried 3 boards that all killed me after barely 1 circuit of the board, and i never had a phone call either. someone had a result :( did finish the day £10 up each so it would have been over a ton a piece without this loss.


also paid over £200 for a jackpot on an ultimo that was genuinely full and boosted early on but that did go £75 in the end.

I lost £60 on my Pots of Gold last night, and then compounded it by wasting a load more away chasing a semi-red OAR shortly before closing time - managing only to nick one £35 back moments before I was going to be physically dragged out, so no chance of recycling. I can only hope the next board would not have been the 12 nudge - £15 autonudge - higher than a 3 - lower than a 10 scenario.

I do really daft things with my money when drunk ...

I was there man :D I had a cap on too. Those monopolys have only just been put in, they was there last week but they were not working. They were nigh on running fresh off the ram (i.e. noones ever played them). New owners, new machines.

new owners, i wondered why most of the staff seemed foreign. i knew they were new but as the golden games play properly in there i presumed they would. my mate said he saw £40ish in it whilst i was upstairs aswell so i thought id be safe to force.
i got barred from the two arcades near the funfair thing aswell for no good reason other than winning. The first arcade rang the other up so i couldnt go in the other :x hate it when arcades do that. if it wasnt for the monop it woulda been a successful day.
