The nature of the trick made it extremely vunerable and it certainly had a limited shelf life. If you analyse a trick and look how complex it is, that will give you a good indicator of how to go about your business. PD's was a trick that cost virtually nothing to master, so was therefore worked out by numerous people. Added to this, it was a 'playable game' so further more, it has a great deal of exposure to players. The final nail in the coffin is they were in a large percentage of weatherspoons. Most players struggle to be discreet and are largley concentrating on the machine, rather on things that are going on around them. To me this attituide is the equivalent of throwing big money away, hence my obsession with security and surveillance.
I didn't play any part in this trick, but well done to those who got a nice pay day off it. It was bad the way it was leaked out and then the chip promptly followed, but what can you do? That's the way it is these days with some of the more simple stuff, it easily gets passed around.
A lot of the spoons around me had these chipped a couple of months ago, whether this empty was out then i dont know and cant claim to have known it but i was playing them a slightly different way and the chip appeared to deal with that way i was playing them, it also sorted the empty out as it was very similar, i dont know if they meant to chip the emptier at that moment in time, early January i'd say it was.
Any thoughts on that? Was the empty out that long or were they chipping the way i was going about them which most will know anyway.
Hi lo to an extent yes, slightly diferent set up, only slightly. Very nearly worked this out way earlier to be honest, like a few things though, kick yourself dont you!
Easier said than done when your eyes are following the old battleaxe landlady so much you forget about the young barmaid who happens to be standing right behind you.
