Punters who play 2 machines at once
This is not my own personal experience (thanks god!), but it is an experience nonetheless. I went into my local Silvers today (31st Jan) to play their AWPs. Crazy Chair, 4 reeler, LP DOND, a clone of Walk of Wealth and a few non-DONDs. Within minutes of me playing the AWPs, a middle-aged woman steps in and begins to play not 1, but 2 of the B3s. Both were Reel King. While I was losing £10-ish on Crazy Chair, I heard the ding-ding-ding-ding-ding on BOTH of the the lady's Reel King machines. Then the click-click-click-click-click as each King accumulates their wins on her 2 machines. When I went to change my next sheet into coins, I saw that both Reel Kings had the "reserved" sign over them and the lady has presumably gone to the bank to get more money. Shocking. After I played 8 or so AWPs and I was £20 down myself, I finally exited the arcade, taking a quick glance to see the same lady still playing the 2 Reel Kings simultaneously.
"I think you're going to go away with a lot of money."
I'm with Mr. MoveIt on this one - many times I've gone into an arcade to play something specific and found some troll has left credits and a small amount in the bank - and then claims he's in the middle of playing it. Despite that fact that he's standing pressing buttons on a machine elsewhere in the arcade. So he can't be that eager to play it, or he wouldn't have walked off.
It's just selfishness and an inability to stomach seeing someone else win on a machine you want to win on yourself. Nevermind the fact that the arcade is losing custom ...

This machine may at times offer a choice where the player has every chance of bankruptcy

Some old hag used to do this in my local years ago ,I just used to play the credits off and when she complained I just used to give her the money back for the credits .she complained to staff about it loads of times but they did zilch on account of there being signs everywhere stating that credits could not be used to reserve machines
.......and she smelled
.....and needed a shave.
