A pleasant change

I was in the arcade nearest the station at Skegness a couple of weeks back, playing the Monopoly Wheel of Wealth. It went full early on so I took it on. Hit the streak for about a ton in, it did £140 then got a quick feature on 30p play and hit streak again for another £140 - it ran dry mid streak and the guys said they would hand refill it as that wouldn't stop my game. Went on to do another £35. Nice refreshing change.

bet you felt like a customer and not a criminal, refreshing... i feel like a criminal if i end up with more than about £4 in coins in my pocket these days...

Aye, that's the one. Couldn't remember the name. That's the difference albeit an obvious difference - you empty something in an arcade you don't feel like a thief unlike in a pub. There are exceptions however, Holland amusements anywhere in the midlands give testament to that.

Arthur has a face like thunder if you make a 5er on his Doctors and Nurses, i thought his head was gonna burst the day i had the cashpot streak, i've never heard anyone have a good word about him, what a load of crap he has in his places now.

Oh, and nice result Kid

Sounds like wingy from thomases in hunstanton, if you live within 20 miles of hunny, or are under 60, or have ever touched a fruit machine before youre automatically barred near enough!

Oh don't get me started on sillybeard twatface Holland. Who's that hottie in the one near the bus station? Anyway too tight to get updated EPROMS, so he makes do with disabling change stake. Even she has been brainwashed by Holland. Full of the 'ello darlin' when you're changing notes but face like thunder if you dare to win.
It's the only place I partake in regular non casual serious tooling (As you know I indulge in a spot of casual leisurely irregular tooling from time to time) . Had the hoppers of both Triple 777s via a grapple link comms diffuser and deft use of menu button to avoid alarm! A few swipes and credit ahoy! Remember I'm only a casual tooler, tooling in bad arcades and super hot pubs (You're going to get barred for winning £1, so you may as well tool the lot out and get barred in style).
A bus driver who comsumed pies and steroids in his spare time was chatting with the fit peice whilst I made good with the loot. Lee's bound to know who she is, he knows all the good looking blonde birds in Leicester.

I'd be surprised if there are any hardmen in hunstanton.

What the fuck are they gonna do, chase you in their tractors?!

Hunstanton lol, there was a little arcade with a £5 hotwheels, £5 cash n burn and a £5 king kebab. and a 35 cabin that went, dont think im welcome back now.

are they still barring folks for holding 4 or more away on gg's?

clarkey1984 · Post by **clarkey1984** » Mon Sep 06, 2010 8:48 pm

Not sure about that, but my mate got a bit of a bollocking for ignoring GG when it was there in nudges, then he saw him ignore it a 2nd time, bloke went off his tit and threatened to kick him out if he did it again, how stupid.

He did get barred by the same bloke soon after, he had monopoly 1 2 and 3 out in a row one day, then had number 1 out again the next day, then got stung on a magic 7s, so ironically he was actually down that day quite a bit by the time it finally did a treble roll of 7s, didnt even put him even, but blokey saw him collecting 105 out so walked over to him and pretty much said ive had enough of seeing you win, your barred, fuck off.

Im not barred from there myself but i do get watched quite a bit, and i only really play 5 pounders lol, but when and if i do get barred, odds are it will be wingy who does it, and i will get it on video too!

Is that the arcade across the caravan park called Las Vegas? Got banned years ago for emptying Jiggin In The Riggin. Went back a few years later and got banned again because of the Golden Games. Sounds like the same bloke because I didn't just get a token barring, I literally got told to F*** OFF 2 or 3 times!

Those AMG blokes who own the Pier and other arcades are absolute nutters though.

Captain.Tattybojangles · Tue Sep 07, 2010 1:00 am

Nah, not the same blokes as far as I know. Thomases showboat has a nasty geezer nicknamed Wingy in there. All the other staff don't think the same as him to be honest. Thomas's Bingo is OK I *think*. Not heard of him in there

Vegas it's probably a guy called Simon who works there, he turned the GGs right down, and same thing as the 105 on magic 7, will get the hump if you collect out lots even if you are down
