Your worst Fruit Machine story / experience.

A few weeks ago one Friday night I threw about a tonne into a Cops n' Robbers machine in a busy bar in Belfast. The thing is that after two quid it gave me the 3 keys and the an opportunity to get winnings in the £20-plus region on the winning board that flashes the winning amounts. I missed the final £23-60 one and instead got £5-80, causing me to throw in vast amounts more.
I later mucked up a jackpot by hitting the wrong button and threw in a tonne in all. Now I was consuming a fair few Budweisers - I had to keep supping as I continully was in need of change from the bar. I ended things by punching the machine so hard that I smashed the complete top section of it. My hand was cut loads and I darted out of the place. Luckily for me the machine was hidden away upstairs and I was the only one who saw what I did. I went back to own up for my actions the following day and felt like a right scumbag for this act. I vowed to make this my "farewell" to the machines, but have pumped a fair few more hundred into them since.
