Had some decent cash out of this. Not for amateurs though.

Pretty obvious cash is available on it. But seeing as it now goes:

£20/game over
instead of:
£20/£15/£7/£2/50p/game over

- i doubt those amateurs will put enough cash in so you can do it again. But what do I know? I'm an amateur myself.

I played " Monopoly " last night - for fun - reached the cash round , got 50p
Machine said " You win 50p " .
My nephew , a £500 an hour London Barrister said that receiving 50p for a 50p investment did not constitute a win . When he saw that I could not even collect the 50p , only £ coins , he said that equated to theft and I was entitled to the money from behind the bar .
How to win friends and influence Barmen !

You should have taken the £1 offer then.

Lol at the idea that you need a £500 an hour barrister to tell you that 50p return from a 50p stake is not a win.

And as a £500 an hour barrister, your nephew probably doesn't actually know any law at all, simply relying on the £150 an hour juniors to look up and summarise what he needs to read out.

He probably looks good in a wig though

Not sure it's *that* hard to tip YHW20 into ultra-hard mode - here's one I managed after a win this lunchtime!

if you pay 50p to PLAY the machine... then you "Win" 50p.. then it is a prize...

it is a SKILL WITH PRIZES machine, you pay to play, not as a stake

your example is the same as saying you you play "hook a duck" at a carnival and expect the prize to be worth more than what you paid to play...

on and, somewhere it (usually) says that the machine only pays out in £1 coins.. your barrister sounds like a cock
