Wouldn't imagine so, maybe you do, can't see it being enforced though.

Where about in Fife?

Sorry but you aren`t allowed fruit machines anymore in a non-gambling establishment - here`s the link to to prove it:

LOL!

it gets a few on it while they wait on there washing & also the staff play it quite a bit so it does get a few, we also have a chip shop next door so they come in from there to play but they dont have 1 in the bookies so i dont really see there problem with the machine

There are hefty fines for this sort of thing - but it would take someone to report you for having it!

what machine is it, money laundry?

Takes a bold player to force out the jackpot.

5-0 :P

I think the main fabric of this thread is losing its condition. We should bounce along and forget it ever existed really. Ariel shame that its illegal though, how many daz have you had it in the launderette?

Wouldn't get yourself in a spin over it though, the cycle on the program of the machine will make sure you do well overall. Make a stand, and say it ain't goin', its stain!!

Wont be much comfort to know that they`ll "hang you out to dry" if you get caught.

It seems a bit mean spirited of the bookies with the all conquering FOBT to get in a lather about a £5 machine.


That was my oar in the mix. By saying lather I wasn't entering into this punmongery that some people are surfing around with.


You need to check your legal status though, as no doubt some jobsworth might report you. Suds law isn't it? So best get it checked out.
