Fruit Machine Chat

Ok so I checked this pub last week, it had an Invincible and a Piggy Bank in it

Bought my diet coke, not an on top pub at all and had played there in the past with no problems.

Invincible full immediately, glowing and cost me £20 for £70.

Piggy Bank backed after £3, and then glowed off £10. Cost £40 for £105.

Whilst playing the PB I was chatting with the fit Aussie barmaid who bizarrely was electrocuting fruit flies on the window near me! She said the pub has a problem with fruit flies (they were serving food!!)

I put £70 onto the bar in piles of £10 to change up, and the barmaid was about to do it when the landlady comes over and starts mumbling garbage about me winning unfairly. I asked her what the problem was, she said nothing and then a minute later whilst I was waiting to be served by the barmaid, she just out of the blue told me I won the money illegally and went to grab the coins! Luckily for me I was quicker than her and pocketed every coin. She then tells me I'm barred, I walk out.

Get in my car in the pub car park, she is watching me to see what car I've got and then I see some guy taking a photo of me in it!

I've had my plates taken a few times in the past and I really fail to see the point of it. I mean, it's not as though they have access to the police or DVLA database! Obv they can circulate it but thats about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike!

they'll probably circulate it, but its not hard to park round the corner is it?

Wouldn't be good if they got it and you'd done something illegal thoguh.....

You must have big hands if you can pick up 70 coins without somebody managing to grab any.

I never change ALL the coins on a big win, might give them £40 tops just to make out that I haven't made HUGE.

i dont bother changing any

Well that would be ideal, but taking say £100 from a red then not changing anything up looks rediculous!

Going into a bar, taking all the landlords/locals/barstaff's money, stacking it on the bar and looking smug.

Not a good idea IMHO.


If you have put £50 in to win a hundred, change twenty back into notes and moan about losing. Works in my experience. I have been in some dodgy pubs where you would get followed outside if the locals know you've got money on you.

If it's a regular haunt then you gotta try & be clever enough to not let it look like £100. If its a small pokey pub I always make sure I dont break the bank. Collecting out around £20 a time then slowly putting in a couple of quid back and playing off the credits slowly. As soon as your getting known then the locals stop playing it and the quicker the machine is changed.

I find the hopper dump facility on the Horizon useful (doesnt dump on reds)

This happended to me last week.

I never change any of my quids, the lanky twat of a landlord in my pub has already started watching and snarling at me!!

go back at night and put a brick through the window , simple really isnt it

doing a p5 today I really hate when the bar guy just watches you and looks at you in disgust as if you are a tooler.

HAHAHA jokes on me though
