Wouldn't be tempting me anyway - since they have had new Australian owners they have removed all hi-tecs. Jokers eh. Unless they put 'em back i'll be staying well clear.

Yea they shot themselves in foot bigtime mate. I went in about 2 months ago now And the place was dead. I spoke to a player who has been in there at least 10 years and he now goes in the bookies more than the arcade now.no one is playing the lo techs either. Like he said its a sad day when the normal punter has to put in 100+ pounds to get a 35 pound jackpot. I was speaking to my dad after i read this in cen last night.He said there used to be a nice arcade down mill road 20 years ago. I never knew this. Did you ? All befor our time i think. I now rather go to stevanege and play in there 2 arcades and doing rather well out of them

Yeah i knew the one on Mill Road, was about when i was younger. Was a sort of youth club thing with pool tables etc. The only guy i really know in Quicksilver here is John, but like i say i don't go tehre any more. The Stevenage arcades are no good for me again, one cluedo and thats it. QS used to be good, but again no hi tecs any more so no point for me!

They have a pusher in one of the arcades in N'hampton. You play with tokens that you buy with money. You win back tokens which you can put back in. You need to collect the special tokens.
10*Special token = A mini mars bar
100* special token = A fucking hair dryer for Christ's sake
1000*special token = A little titchy Amstrad 5 watt pmpo CD player thing.
10000*special tokens = £5 of free plays (in tokens)
100000*special tokens = Exclusive access to the buffet bar whilst the assistant goes to the toilet.
1000000*special tokens = VIP Access to the toilet + a cheese sandwhich and a hairdryer for fuck's sake.
Reasonable fun though. You'll never get so much noise out a pusher for so little investment.
They only had 5 special tokens on display. Swizz!
Devil of a Deal £5.

Good to see you're keeping up. Stu's fine, I wonder if he's even slept with a woman let alone got a Fonz?!? I must PM him sometime so he can give me that Joker Poker emptier that seems to work in all major AGCs across the Country.
Lol@Gary, amazing how he hasn't been barred and some people seem to actually be tolerating him now, maybe the odd mumbled cliche about pikeys and caravans now and then. Still a long way to go for any love off Cardie, Vamp or Gazeyre though.

What does VIP access to the toilet actually mean?

It means they roll out the red carpet for you. An attendent, gender of your choice, will assist you in all your ablutory needs. You also have special access to the VIP gold urinal, if you're a gentleman. You'll get two free sprays of aftershave, a complimentary tissue and a smack round the arse. Then it's back to winning special tokens.
