Yep, that's classic stuff!
It's good to know that the reporter, Dan Rutstein, had been doing his homework before penning that 'Exclusive'. It was only an exclusive because no-one else would find themselves that short of material that they'd feel the need to write such dross.
My favourite bits:
One York gambler told the Evening Press of his exploits, which include winning as much as £300 in one day..
"The win slot can hold a maximum of £125, and the best time to play it is when it is on £118 or above," he said.
"Although this doesn't guarantee a win, it does mean the machine is due a large payout soon..
The keys are available on the Internet for as little as £20 ..
How entertaining

Keys were certainly more costly back in 2001, but definitely not £20!
I bet that was Ralph who blabbed all that. He didn't work and spent all day every day in Nobles. Fair play to him though, made a decent amount from what i remember.

i was selling them on ebay for 15 quid around that time... hotcakes
but ebay traders arent stupid, so they bought one and copied them and undersold the expensive ones
come to think of it, i never got my free one from my r-cadia signup fee...

I was sold a key for a fiver at the time in a local bloopleys! Bargain - Mr. Morris was asking £20 for one key or.....wait for it........£30 for two keys <<rolly laughing revolving smiley thingy>>
I had a few cut and sold one to <<five boyz there man>> to get my money back. I never sold any on Ebay or elsewhere. I think I missed a trick for sure.

Hahaha last time I was in there (about 8 years ago) he got barred for fighting! I must admit he was the one that told me just to force all out for 3 red discs on that big top three player though - when it went big it went big! and stars and stripes!
