It then rolls in an all-green-bar-one board, totally innocuous looking, and it gambles up to the first exchange. Lands on +Red Features, and 3 or 4 features are now lit red. I gamble the wheel - more in hope than anything else - and it awards 1 feature shot. Which promptly stops on Red VLV. Which gives £25. Then repeats. And repeats again. £75 dumps out of the bloody thing in one long, long clatter.
I am happy. But equally, a spotlight has just landed firmly on my head in the form of the whole pub staring - what have I just done?! I am suddenly a burglar, or a fare evader, or an embarrassed shoplifter in so many peoples' eyes... or that's how it seemed. I just stood there pretending I'd never seen so much money in all my life and raised a smile.
Please, please Global/GamesMedia - arrange for your machines to dump down to £60 like every other damned machine and stop causing these massive embarrassments..!
