Fruit Machine Chat

Was on an all day bender Saturday watching football, rugby etc. Only available table was near the machines. Watched some guy play this £1 play. Never seen such a bad machine. 90% of question marks were lose, hi lo's lost on 2s and 11s. He tried forcing jp, but safe cash kicked in. Superboard often gave next to nothing. He was about £300 in when it let him nudge jp in. Gives chance which means a win spin. Went to yes a few times and made win up to £90. Boards now dead for about another £100 as he recycles with bank gradually dwindling down to nothing. He leaves, comes back five minutes later (cashpoint). Still plays the same. He must have done another £200 before the United-Arsenal game finishes and the lads want to go up the social. Gameplay was just soooo predictable. Suspect he's still there, doing his b***ocks. Anyone else played these.

Reflex aren't they

You're right. My mistake. Don't play much thses days, lol.

I haven't played this machine, but I have been in that situation many times in my early days. I always remember that horrible, sinking feeling I would get when I would be feeding my next twenty into the machine. That familiar voice in my mind would be saying, "don't do this to me, don't fu--ing do this to me you ba--ard", and it always would lol. It always seemed to me that everyone around me appeared to be really happy everytime I was balls deep and losing a fortune in a machine, I would look round the pub with that blurred, slow, dizzy vision and see people laughing their heads off and people hugging and dancing and think, "WWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!" :x Everytime I won, they would all seem miserable as sin lol!

Best visualisation of it is where Nick Moran's character comes out of the buikding where they have been playing 3 card brag in Lock Stock. Many a time felt like that when been well ahead, should have walked and then spooned the lot plus extra from the cash point etc

The going over it all part is worse than when it happens mate. I should have just took that 50, I should have left and not gone near that other fu--ing machine, why didn't I leave my bank card at home? etc etc

It's brutal but can streak for tons.

seen a few empty and i dont mind saying it!

You collect the £54 still 200 down and some twat makes a remark about you being a lucky c*nt to be collecting that little haul, guaranteed.

This can be brutal. Cost me £240 for a flat jackpot, no afters.
All cashpots were on 70 too.

Another time though I went on it, spuin a cherry win did a skill stop for me to get the final dollar for top did £140. Only put 25 in too.

Only had the odd dabble on these, £10-£20. First time I played, I go a Go all The Way. Must have been extremely lucky after hearing some horror stories.
