Waiting for a fruit

No you just have to wait. If credits are I wait unless it was say half hour or so with no action then I'd say are you done on there. We have no god given right to all this money and these machines alota folk should remember that and be mighty thankful for what they have had/get

On the flip side I was playing a dead mans on Saturday. Some bloke was watching me so I turned round to let him know I knew he was there. He walked off. About 2 mins after I'd got it out, I was leaning on it chatting to my mate. He couldn't wait to get on it, and asked me if I'd finished. I assumed he was a travelling player, but I was wrong. He was a prunter(munter pretending he was a pro) and just started rowing it!!

As alan partridge once said 'needless to say, I had the last laugh!'

Reminds of a time a few years back when i was in an absolute hell hole of a pub playing an Ultimo. Pots 1st board - repeat - look for plug but not a hope in hell.....repeat again. £3 in £75 out.....but bad situation. Collect a few pound play a few quid through. End result i take £124 out - leaving a pound in the hopper. Walk awy thinking i might of got away with it - to immediately get sharked by 3 mean regulars - and as i walk out i here one of them say - "He deffo lost - he was on it for ages...."
Happy memories........

Its all about being patient and respectful of the credits, isn't it? Not really!!! Too many people take the piss these days, especially landlords - they treat you guys like the scum of the earth these days. Why have some kind of etiquette when you have so much shit to tolerate.

Its proper liberty taking if someone leaves credits in a machine when sitting down to eat lol, but surely the landlord wouldn't allow this either. If you say anything you bring attention to yourself too. I used to hate walking into an arcade and seeing a solitary credit in all the machines worth playing....used to make my blood boil.

Dunno about telling a munter to quit killing a flying machine though!!!

I had the exact same thing happen in Kings Lynn a couple of months ago on a Dead Mans. Except he was next to me when I got Cannonball Run. He tried to tell me which reels to hold and allsorts.

ready on both lastime

logopolis · Post by **logopolis** » Wed Jun 01, 2011 12:45 am

I had it ready on both that time. Local bloke didn't see the first pot. He wanted me to try another board and of course I didn't. So he did instead and it cost him a tenner for a £2 board so he kept going.....

I was in halves on one today, flat £70 and still there, but yet again I didn't see it.
