If you got a job Jack its alot more rewarding than sitting in front of wardrobes with reels. Machines are a means to an end for most people. With kids on the way , you want to be able to support them the best you can and playing fruit machines isnt the most stable of incomes. I would look to get a job and play at weekends etc. But if you can make it work, good luck to you mate. Well done on the twins , firing both barrels son ;)

Good luck with the twins jack mate. I work part time in a local school renting and maintaining a 3G 7 a side pitch. This is on top of working full time as an apprentice decorator. I'm officially out of my time on friday and I'll just be working day here and there if my gaffs needs a hand because I'm going to focus a bit more on fruits I'm going to hammer them and save it. I've been working 70 hours a week last 3 year and fruits on top. Going to travel a bit and see places witch is the good part about machines.

Some Pro's/Players work a couple of days a week, others six or seven.
Depends on your family or social life.

I can say (maybe sadly) that I don't have much in the way of a social life. And anyone who knows me will say I'm a workaholic. Fucked up many relationships in the past because of it but just can't change.

Relaxing is hard aswell. What do you do? Just sit in front of the television all day?
