It would be funny to secretly video an irate Landlord when he bar's you, just the other day i had one so Red in the face i thought his head was gonna burst, you always think of things you should have done or said in the heat of the moment, i was completly calm as he accused me of just coming in to 'rinse' his machine, i came back with no wonder its so dead in here if thats how you make customers welcome, which made him even more seething, he fucked off round the back, how we chuckled, gave him the thumbs up when we drove past as he stood watching from the window

Phone Wetherspoons up, tell them you are doing a degree in film studies, and ask if you can make a documentary about gambling addiction. Would help if someone was on a bona fide university course.

I think it would be funny to have video's of a players "playing for the day"... just in terms of other players watching it and thinking... oh what's he doing going in for that/playing that x way/oh he's got so lucky on this...
Great laugh that would be....unfortunately mugs would be able to see it and thus its impossible!
I've always thought if people saw what I have sometimes got upto on a day, they'd be saying what the FUCK is he doing there :P.... then they'd see after... :P

Its the exposure that's the worst part. Try getting any hits done after you've plastered your face all over the tv/web.

what about this:
pick a couple of tricks that are on their way out..
find a couple of older machines like older £25's
get someone who isnt in the "loop" for top info, but knows their way around a fruity.. someone who looks quite smartly dressed and isnt a chav and is quite well spoken
teach them the tricks for the chosen machines
have someone buzz up a couple of reasonable machines, couple of reds.. overplay a bellfruit till nearly jackpot happy. deliberately lose £50 in a £25 extreme
fix the whole thing on film so it looks like the guy is a full blown pro player..
give them a full list of do's and dont's, and a few scripted things to say in certain bars..
deliver said person to locations where they are defintely going to get barred from.
video the whole lot, and edit it together so it looks like a day session (make sure they wear the same clothes etc for the whole recording time)
