Touch Wood , Ive never been barred from any pub,Arcade yes hqwever i have had a machine turned off on me from behind the bar i had a 35 jp on winline with 55 in bank total 90 quid,landlord accused me of fiddling i emptied my pockets on the bar and asked him to phone the police as he had robbed me of 90 quid,then an old boy sat at the bar actually defended me saying he had been watching and i had simply won.Landlord turned machine back on and let me take my winnings,But did mention the machines he has had has been robbed in the past,..I even went back a week later and changed 60 at the bar into coins yes i did get a 105 and a few quid in afters he wasnt bothered,Got a pile of shit in at the mo but i still pop in for a beer just until it gets changed.I suppose its the manner you go about your business,if your face fits so to speak...

ive never been in anywhere were they take the piss,

im not sure exactly what the point is of having a machine if they refuse to let anyone take the money out..

if i did win, i would take the money.. something along the lines of "bar me if you want, but ive won that.. give it to me and ill leave"

surely that'd do the trick...

id ring the police to start with, then if they rubbed me up the wrong way i wouldnt be bothered what happened after.. id never let anyone take my money off me.. id drag that machine outside if i had to... and roll it down an embankment or into a river or whatever there was nearby...

Mr Cheese, I find it interesting that you said you've been barred from an arcade but not in a pub. Do you know what the staff's mentality is in arcades? I thought that they were meant to be more clued up on the workings of AWPs than bar staff are.

Maybe it's because I generally lose more money than I win, but when I do get the odd £100+ win on AWPs, the arcade attendant will say congrats and not bat an eyelid.

Arcades are more fire than pubs at times.

I'm not being nasty, but they know the difference between a pro and someone like you...hence why they don't mind you winning mate.

One BFK stop being a fag, we would not be happy if someone comin in takin £100 pound from the fruit blar blar blar, could not give a shit the pubs are on there arse, goverments fault anyway, great idea about the peedo stuff fuck the landlord, they are good enough to rape everyone elses cash, paybacks a bitch, if you as a landlord dont like it dont fuckin have one in your pub, as you say BFK deal with it!!!

On my life lived in liverpool for a while one guy was being a total prick thought he was going to try and bully me off the machine, told him i will leave when i was finished, was doing a arcadia at the time, barred me 4 months later, he was managing another pub walked across the rd got him by a car and got his spine snapped, it was all over the prescot news papers i was delighted...

The only thing i agree with BFK on is dont try and get away with not buying a drink, do wait a couple of mins before you smash the machine, i some time give the bar girl a £5 to keep her sweet, it works wonders for you if its a machine that you have to yourself...

cant be bothered to read all the posts,if the gaffer dosent want you in then u aint coming in,no landlords dont understand how it works,if they call the police and your playing straight then youve got nothing to worry about,altho logopolis carries lists and a refill key so that would be amusing if he got a tug

My house got busted on a unrelated matter and whilst searching for evidence they found cash and lists and when I explained what they were for and how etc they dropped there line of questioning as they weren't arsed about it.

Yeah they weren't even remotely interested in mine either.

I think people saying they are interested in location lists/satnavs are on some good medication or probably approached their individual situations very badly!

The thread reminds me of Christmas eve 2006!

Was doing a Raiders in a pub, probably about 30 through it for 45, as I start to collect the barman comes up and says "let me check your pockets", I'm like whoah, why? He starts jingling my pockets and promptly tells me to fuck off.

"Max win £25 per game" he kept saying, "you're one of those boys who uses cheats of the internet".

I tried to explain I had been on the machine for a while and built the bank up but he claimed I'd been in there 10 minutes. He then SHOVED me away from the machine and when I tried to get back to get my money he just picked me up like a rag doll (him big, me not so much)

I asked that he at least let me get my money out as I've stuck £30 some in, "nah it's mine now".

I told him I'd call the police - as he's just technically mugged me - "Do it, can't wait" he says. So i did. They came, he had to give me the money he took off me (he actually gave me the contents of the pot he kept all the machine money he'd taken from people in) and I could have pressed charges. Thankfully for him it was Christmas eve and I didn't really wanna ruin someone's Christmas!

you'd be surprised how people react if you kick off...

most people will do almost anything to avoid getting in a fight... make the first move and you usualy come off better.
