This just occurred to me when I was playing the Elvis King of Clubs 250 quid machine on a ferry the other day (this is a machine where you hi-lo with playing cards. It has a clone but its name escapes me).
Anyway, a rarity for any machine these days - it loves to throw in 40p wins ALL the time. Even 2 cherries nets a meagre 80p win.
However, unlike a lot of 5 quid machines, there is no rounding up of prizes. If you collect 40p then 40p you will collect.
Except you can't collect anything less than a pound - all you can do is transfer it back to credit, meaning that you'll usually be left with an odd amount of money.
So to sum up. Barcrest have made a machine which offers prizes which you can't collect. Well done chaps.
