Average Joe
Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2008 2:41 pm
First post in ages.
May have already been said before but will say it again.
Basically play when ever I go out once to twice midweek and on sat.
In the past year fruit machines seem to have completely dropped off for me personally. I used to be able to pay for my nights out by playing fruits and making some extra cash. I now find it very hit and miss on how much money if any I make in an evening day out. Will try to explain a little more:
A year or two ago play a Machine that was happy and it would probably roll or JP (quickly) as not many people would be forcing them. These days you have to be fairly lucky or be on top of a machine to see them roll (not good for an average punter) as people just force the tops out even when they are not showing (This did not used to happen very often, average Joe would take a £5 and be happy).
Suppose it raises the question has raising the play to 50p a spin killed off the casual gamer who will put change from a round in the fruit?
Most towns/cities are completely burned out days and again you are lucky if you can land on one or two machines that are worth a push. Recycling tops has become a lot more risky in my opinion.
Although saying that I find that if I play in a fairly small town that you can still make a few quid obviously depending on machines they have.
What are peoples opinions on this would be interesting to know especially people who play on a daily basis?
I must admit I don’t really get info about machines etc (which doesn’t bother me as I really don’t know anyone who plays) for instance I think a 14 year old told me about the DOND things ! ! ! ! And still don’t get the Cluedo thing (not fishing by the way)
Cheers Dan
