Watch This!

Might be a bit simple, or 'noobie-ish' for most of us, and I think they generalise a bit on some of the points, such as the £7 in every £10 bit.

He's right about people keying machines in arcades though, and about percentages being raped as well (as low as 20% :o )

Does anybody have any hard evidence to support the claim that 'bent' arcade owners might advertise a 78% payout, yet insert a 20% payout key?

I've often wondered how likely this scenario is, but never seen or heard of any hard facts.

It's taken me a long time to type this message, due to large Fosters intake lol

Yeah, i'm not takign any notice of that article to be honest. Maybe true for the average joe who plays, but guys on here can tell more often than not if we are going to win. Ok, you get burnt every now and then, but usually it has a good ending.

maybe the 20% rip is true is this why arcade bigwigs don't like you using the keys as it states IT IS NOT ILLEGAL

I thought it was impossible to set a machine below 70% without hacking the rom as I thought the manufactures prevent them from going below 70%?

lol thats just the commercial and often stereo-typed view of how fruit machines stand in soceity.

"£7 out for every £10 in"

Whoah, explain to me how I raped sub zero last nite for 90 from just 24? ?
