Went into a pub today that had a pd its round the corner from the bar. So get a drink walk round and they've changed it for a spank. Just got me thinking has anyone had a machine swap for another playable? Or a payable swapped for something crap seems to be more the norm. Had 2 mists pubs were near enough next to each other and 2 pds now I've only got 1 out the 4 left :(

Yeah a few years a go had a cluedo replace a monopoly, Had loads of machines swap had a mega that went for a mist. Seen loads of bigger pubs have bankjobs next week they have crown jewels...

Was in a spoons up north a few days ago and gamestec came in and moved a desert to put a dream in its place.

Yeah don't get the love for spanks.

There's a lot of naivety on this thread...probably had a playable swap for a playable a thousand times! Only really amuses me when they get rid of the fruit 'because of me' and it's something the same or even better!

I've got a pub like that, it had a dig it in for just over a week, the next machine which was shit lasted over a year, then when they can't hold on to it any longer they put a perfect in for an almighty 9 days, just bar me!



Had a pie factory swap for a giant gems years ago lol.

Had a Perfect go for a Mist then a Mega. Mega was always on decentish pots and had a fair few nice deals off it.
Other machine in there was a Murphy Flicker that went for a Dark Side.

Now the Dark Side has gone for a bloody SFTS and I don't know what the Mega has gone for if it's left, because I aint been in the pub and only the SFTS is seeable from the window.

Back in the day, you would often see a JPM being swapped with another JPM. Red Alert for Casino 5 Liner or Red Arrow for Hi Roller. That thin red cabinet was a good thing to see through the pub window!
