Even things like dials and stuff, spoons here had one for ages....you can make plenty, and go back time and again without worrying about it being taken away. What would you rather have? £250-£350 in one whack, but never again....or £20-£50 odd a time from said example 2-3 times a week for 6 months? It's a no brainer.

Given up chasing them now, but quite a few other machines have popped up in pursuit of these and dreams. Quite a mad day funny sitting in plymouth for dinner machine off but the amount of people that have come in seen it off and walked straight back out has been rather funny. Reminds me of random spinners walking into an arcade get within a foot of the machine to be laughed at by staff. "Don't think so sunny you aint playing that" anyways not a bad day overall think i'll just check a few places on my way

yep same as, sitting at home with another bottle of JD, lol

back out in a few days once things turn back to normal.

Was funny bumping into a player that i not seen for at least 15 years though, probably wouldnt have recognised him until i heard his voice, seems that is one thing that age hasnt been changed.

disagree there, the usually lazy players have been out in force checking and they will find things they usually wouldn't.

Alot off before getting taken out tho. Tec actually quick off the mark.

Shame they aren't so quick paying me out iou's, fixing broke machines or upgrading their pathetic quiz machines.

I'm intrigued as to what this fault is once it's clear they've all been chipped - sounds like a major fail on Barcrests part!! Especially comments about it "not realising it's kept paying £70 out" :lol:

TIOLI's are *everywhere* too...!

Went to play a very nice little earner tucked away today and it was done. Reliable twice a week hit for a good 6-7 weeks obviously someone passing through checking.

Agreed even my Flashback was slipping onto strawberries, that's nearly always good for a few Impulses.
It really is shocking that someone leaves it GATW for the next casual. It shows a complete lack of understanding. Someone following instructions to the letter but no insight. It's not rocket science.
A bit crazy how quick it exploded and how aggressive people were on Monday with queueing for doors and big IOUs.
