Funny addicts

Bit of a blast from the past in my arcade days but whats the funniest addicts you used to see? We had one called Piano women who used to play the same Bar X and after every win used to bash the buttons both handed and if you turned to look at the noise she would shout "Nothing to see here young man" There was Bosun who looked like something off a ship who would play Barcrests till he would have £75 in the bank and £50 in the tray and he didnt understand when you said you cant win anymore as you have the £125 it holds and there was few pennies who went round with a pocket of silver looking for all the machines that said add 10p to play etc

bullion bar lady(uses the tag BBL,you will find this scratched clumsily into the chrome on old scholl single player bullion bars ,most prevalent from the saff west of england ,but spotted intermittently as far north as gothaab),used to punt bullion bars on a tuesday and sometimes on a thursday morning aswell,she was in her 60's and used to keep the old single player ,half decent and reliable,when full,bullion bar.... well oiled even through the winter months(breathe)..........not quite a one trick pony,bullion bar lady would sometimes go loco and party on down playing the single player predecessor to party time,that was ....celebration.
bullion bar lady was a good mark to have. rarely could you get shafted after she' d pulled up a stool for a sesh.

I also Mr Lugsy had a Bullion Bar lady. She used to play the £35 50p a go option. She always used to carry on and leave it backing.

There is as there is anyway a gambling granny, who has progressed from party times and bar x 7 to the £500 jackpots, occasionally still plays the others

A man we call Goverment man because hes loaded, dresses smart, he always plays Megaslot.

A lady called parrot who plays the same bar x 7 every month. She gets her name because she sounds like a parrot.

Last but not least a lady by the name of Wafty woman. The smelliest dirtiest woman you could have the misfortune to meet. She always plays party time bingo 4, party time arena 1 or party games 2.

Quite a few characters all the same.

we have a twat in leicester called jeff ,,,,,, everybody who has frequented any leicester pubs will know him ,,, he's a first rate muppet of the highest order , knows absolutely fuck all about machines whatsoever ,,,, the biggest scrounger/chancer in leicester ,,,,

he's always skint , and goes round the pubs , walking up to average joe's on the machines offering to help ,,,, he usually always tells them to collect knockouts , and sai's ''let me hit them for you m8 , ill get you a good win , ive been playing em for years ''....

so if the machine was happy and it gives him a high win by fluke , his next line is always ''thats gotta be worth you giving me 2quid innit m8?''

yet if the knockouts give something shit its always '' oh the machine ripped me off m8 but dont worry keep playing and ill get it next time for you''

he never bothers any of the propper leicester players though , he knows when he's out of his depth .

but honestly he's like that character off the fast show '' hold the oranges m8'' lol

yet he's never got more than a fiver to his name

now personally i dont give a fuck what he does to get by , thats his business , but once
many years ago , i pinned the twat up against the wall , when he tried the above technique on my dad .

just a scrounging lowlife really , im sure every town has one or two

Theres always one like that. Used to have a guy called Kelly (honestly) help people with their ten nudges (before autonudge) and fuck up the best win. Then he blamed the machine. If you took the mickey out of you he would go mental. Definitely one sandwich short of a picnic.

Doris played the each way shuffle all day every day until she lost about forty grand. Yellow nicotine covered fingers.

Some old welsh man who swore at the machines in his native tongue.

A guy who used a calculator for the follow me codes (before someone told him to hold down all the buttons)

Must be loads more.

Hastings? I remember a Mark geezer from there! He lived in Rye and could recite a whole chapter on one breath! He done no harm, but was definately "one nudge short of a jackpot".

Another one from the same town was "Big-chin Chris". He'd buy a milk shake from Dom's, drink half, then keep the other half in his mouth for literally the whole afternoon just swilling it round in his chops! Put me off daisy shakes for quite a while . . . .
