Hey Guys
Can anyone offer some advice on a problem I have at the moment, I have one of these machines in a local pub of mine. I played it even tho it wasnt full, and i got a mega streak straight away which went for £35. The next board went for another mega streak for another £105.
I left the machine owing me £38 which leisure link are now refusing to pay out as they are saying that someone had jammed the programme because it shouldnt give that much in one go.
The landlady at the pub insists that I did nothing wrong but still I cant get the cash back. How would everyone proceed with this. Is it worth a call to leisure link and seeing whats actually going on and where do we stand legally in this case
Cheers

Not quite. Take them to small claims court. Get your landlady to back you up, and they will pay your win, and the judge will award you compensation for time off/lost wages etc. I've done it before, and they usually don't show, so you win by default. They just try any old blag to not pay (see my previous post on this subject)

that could work out nicely, i dont work at the moment so should be able to get legal aid, the landlady has already written me a letter so hopefully fingers crossed I should be ok

Interesting topic,
with the new gambling laws as of sep 1st, gambling debts are now legally enforceable (which unbelievably they were not before)
So if the machine was not 'broken' and the landlady is backing you up, I'd complain to the gambling commission!!
God that would put the shits up LL

This very scenario is one of the great injustices of the 21 century!
Well, perhaps not. But still highly annoying. It happened to me last Friday when a not so Lucky Devil failed to pay the last £37 of my bank. As usual, the grease laden retarded motorway service cafeteria guy explained the machines were nothing to do with the service station, expecting me to say “oh well that’s that then”.
I explained the machines were something to do with the service as they are housed on your premises, and that the service station management would certainly think that the resulting revenue generated was “something to do with them” – and as such you have a duty to manage the situation with greater ethics. With his head spinning, I got him to sign a piece of paper witnessing the IOU.
The problem is that every body tries to pass responsibility to get the problem sorted. I think that the gaming board should look at this, as there must be £100,000+ a year being lost through mismanagement of this process.
Saying that, on the ethical flip side I did use a refill key in an extreme once
