Ok I know there is the obvious things like people kicking and cursing machines when they lose but what is the funniest things you have seen people do in your times when they lose like on a good number or near the jackpot?

I was in my local bookies once & a guy was playing a 'Bobby Dazzler' he was on a JP board & it turned it self off, he went up to the desk to complain but they said they'd have to call an enginner out so he promptly walked back to the m/c & tipped it over..

Was playing Cannonball Run once when some woman (well at least I think it was a woman

) decided to 'help' with the Hi-Lo gamble, going lower than a 3 and getting 7. She went on after me, then I came back and switched it off as she was about to JP.

I've seen some funny shit over time...

Funny you should ask this topic now, as yesterday, whilst playing snooker with my dad i was watching some chav on a £5 new york new york machine, takes about £15 off him and you can see him getting increasingly irate the more he loses.

After his last pound went, you could see him just lose it, and he headbutted the top glass as hard as he could, and tried to lift the machine up in he-man style, machine doesn't move at ALL... maybe 1mm off the gound, basically he just made himself look like a total fanny who hadnt reached puberty(which is what he was really). At this point he was kindly removed by some staff

.

Saw a load of piss in a payout tray once, saw someone attempt topour a pint down the coinslot, saw some psycho try to push a fruit machine onto someones head, it missed by about one inch, that would have probably killed the guy.

lol that story about the chav on the New York New York machine cracked me up. I once saw some bloke on a £5 jackpot machine think it was X marks the spot clone of New York( these machines must bring out the worst in people lol) practically talking to himself having a full scale argument with the machine when it was keep killing him. Everytime he lost a hi lo gamble he would sometimes spit on the machine lol

I see no point to these machines... They must be the least fun £5 series ever.

You can be on the board for ages and not actually be offered a win, just moved around the board for a while until you eventually get killed off.

Isn't New York New York the machine that's infamous for offering £2 top features too? I remember Donkey kong with all the £4 ones but i think it was this that took the piss.

'pissing in the payout tray'

oohh my, thats terrible. Im going to have to start checking the payout trays now before I start playing!!

Thats actully funny, in a wierd way how would you remove the piss?

Anyone ever seen someone cry about the amount they have lost while still playing ? That would just be so funny/unfair

Yep, there's a £5 X Marks the Spot in my bands practice room which I just avoid like the plague now. Its the crappiest, most boring thing ever - move round the board, no chance to collect anything at all, then throw you off. Utter shyte.

Last night in the pub, some bloke lost going higher than a 2 (getting a 1) on Jumping Jack Cash, and then started punching the glass repeatedly (left a massive crack in it just by the reels) jumping up and down screaming "BARCREST ARE CUNTS! CUNTS! CUNTS! CUNTS!" (etc). He got thrown out by some bouncers almost straight away. Apparently he put £60 odd in and came away with jumping jack shit. Must have won something then shoved the whole lot back in for no return. Everyone was staring at him as well!

ROFL maybe someone should have told him that JJC is actually a Mazooma and not a Barcrest!

Anyone else got more experiences?

Doesnt count, but i suppose related as i was playing a machine whilst it happened.

In ladbrokes, playing a machine everything's normal, few old men discussing the horses etc.

All of a sudden i hear a bit of a scuffle and turn round, and these 2 pensioners are squaring up to eachother. I think one attempted to steal the others wallet as i heard "keep ya f**knig hands to yerself or i'll f**king kill you."

The other guy was challenging him to go outside and settle it, but got dragged out of the shop by 3 women whilst the other man was laughing at him.

Please bear in mind none of the people inolved are under the age of 70, made my day

.

Funnier still the people behind the counter didn't care they were just watching and having a good chuckle like everyone else.

This is not ha ha funny, but I remember once when people went on monty phythons flying circus (£5 jackpot) this chav was basically keep going over offering advice and expert wisdon, thinking he was an expert on this machine. I then remember he went on and got an invincible board (where it says "noone one expects the Spanish inquisition". He collected about £3 obviously thinking he was great making £2 profit for his £1 in. despite the fact the logo was flashing like crazy and every ? mark was giving him skill stop. Wish we had more experts like that lol

I think I later went on and took about £20 out of it lol.

Went back to the pub where the bloke smashed the glass on JJC. JJC is GONE. Been replaced with Global's Happy Hour (30p / £25 JP), went on it today and won £10 with just 30p (three 'Entry' symbols to get on to the feature)! He'll probably come back, lose on it and shout 'Mazooma are cunts!'
