The majority of pubs close to me take an age to change their machines once they've got a money maker in there (For them not me)
I've got
Devil of a Deal (18 months and still counting)
Donkey Kong Cash (12 Months)
Prize Fighter (8 Months)
Cash Blast (12 Months could be more)
Cat n mouse (Clone of donkey Kong - 7 Months)
Just had a hi/lo karate changed after nearly 2 years and I get Bullseye!

yep, Jackpoteers has been in my local ever since it came out.. says Barcrest 2000 on it!
a 2nd place would go to Vamp it up, which to my shock has been there for at least two years.. and still here today.

Had a JPTRAR here for nearly 2 years that went last week. Disgraceful.
The arcade here has had an AFU for maybe 4 years too. Seem to get a good turnaround on machines most of the time though.

That Vamp on Platform B, Waterloo East station has been there since release - will it ever move?
This machine may at times offer a choice where the player has every chance of bankruptcy

There's an unchipped vivid still in some pool bar/wine bar in Winchester that's open for like 3 days every leap year.
