I've had the people that make the machines out...

Post by Matt Vinyl »

Heh-heh!

What other funny quotes have bar staff / managers / landlords come out with when they've become miffed about you winning?

I had this nugget of brilliance yesterday from a pub owner who had just changed his Vortex for a JJ Gold ( :( ) apparently, the I'd been 'fiddling' the Vortes out of hundreds of pounds over the last couple of months, and that 'it should never pay out as much as it had been'. I thought of retorting with 'Oh, so you had a representative from Red Gaming down to talk about their machine, did you?' but wouldn't have been able to keep a straight face!

I'm not barred, but I don't think there'll be any more Reds in there for a while, which is a shame... :(

Thankfully, one goes, another appears, in the guise of a OAR +6% £35 in a pub not a million miles from this one. Which I made a tasty £70 off of £20 in... ;)

The only way to deal with this situation is to laugh to yourself. I feel that by playing mainly in a shirt and tie I don't suffer as much as some, but staff ignorance is still highly irritating.

When I decide to give up, I think I may decide to do my final weeks round dressed as super man, letting all the coins clunk into the tray and being as indiscreat as possible -whilst wearing a cheeky grin.

That's ridiculous - so what heinous crime did you commit to deserve that treatment?

It does make you wonder if some of these pubs are actually doing their best to go out of business, doesn't it.

''its not me but the machine company have told me not too let you play there machines'', or ''your welcome too come in for a drink but you can't play the bandit'', ''the other locals are moaning cause you always win'', or my favourite just a plain old ''sorry lads i can't serve you'' :roll: :x
