Why does anyone play those bookie FOBT machines?
Are you sure that was a question for me? You quoted Ob, then said question for JG.
Anyway, you're spot on Jeff. These machines are as bent as a queer Aussie boomerang. Remember we have HARD, SOLID proof of this, so before Manure Mick, or Fertiliser Frank or Compost Craig or Poker Peat pipes up, just remember HARD, SOLID proof. Don't mess.
Play these machines at your peril.

Yeah having watched a lot of these being played now i can't see them as fair. Just today i was putting an acca on and watched some bloke with a wedge of £20s do 8 £40 spins in a row covering 3/4 of the table.....didn't hit a number once. Really fair.
I know i'm going to get 'this can happen in real roulette yada yada', but the frequency in which it happens on here is a joke. Also double figure runs of one colour seem to happen a lot more than they should, numbers doubling up and coming out twice in a row, stupid sequences (one a while back i saw was like 20, 26, 20, 26, 26, 20) coming up, and just a general dodge of big spread bets for no apparent reason other than to purposefully make you lose.

They make more from FOBT then sports betting and will be around for a long time yet unless we all take a stance and say yes you can have a roulette but why does it have to be a computerized roulette? because you can 100% make a profit every month by fixing the machines but claiming there random? Anything to have an advantage over the punter.
I tell you something they would not like to have a real roulette wheel in the shop

I saw someone smash a chair against one of these the other day.
The manageress shouted "Hey! What did you do that for?" as the guilty party paced out the shop glowering.
I would have thought it was patently obvious. At first I heard he'd just lost £20 on a two single number bets, but later on I heard that he was covering all numbers bar one (stupid bet imo) and the one number came in not one, not twice, not thrice, but four times consecutively on the trot.
I did NOT see this with my own eyes as it was from the other side of the shop and I DID, to be fair, hear this story from a person prone to exageration, but YOU KNOW WHAT? I can actually believe it.

how about a greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray.
lost quite a bit on these, hade good runs on them was once about £5000 up in a month, but it means nothing as you are only as good your next few bad days on these, used (and still very disiplined when playing fruits) but just so much harder to walk away from these things. As for strange number sequences ones springing to memory are the 0 repeating 4 times which was great as its my fav number and had £8 on the first and max £13 on the last 3, have seen the numbers 1,2,3,4 come out in that order.
the worst ones I have found are global draw, to their credit they dont try too hard to cover up they are bent, will have happily find those 1 or 2 numbers you havent got or the number you have the lowest stake on very reguraly went about 30 spins once without a winning bet (covering 90% of board)
People say you only say they are rigged iswhen you lose, but tbh honest it sank in they were rigged to me on some of the occassions I won, remember was playing down to last round figure before collecting so sometimes only putting about 3-5 numbers on, found my numbers for about 20 spins in a row was happy to walk with £200 but ended up finding my numbers upto I got the bank upto £1000, then suddenly could not hit a barn door again.
