These machines ARE definetely everwhere.There has been one in my local spoons for a few months and another two have recently appeared.

As i said in another thread,this machine can streak.Typical Bellfruit streak, out of the blue.But i have seen a streak forced out of one, albeit at a small profit.Gatw TWO boards after a jp with afters.

Had a bash on one last night, just for a board.£3 up.

I also switched all the hold buttons on one of them onnto the other so one of them just had all hold buttons! The engineer fixed this though. He obviously doesn't know which way round the DOND buttons go!

Why do this?

If you want to get rid or them put mini cheders down the coin lot. They are quite easy to get out and therefore don't ruin the m/c. The engineer will prob fix it the first time and maybe the second time but by the third time they will change the m/c.

The m/c will be moved to another location and a new fruit (hopefully a good one) will appear. This way you are getting your own way about replacing the shit fruit wjile not breaking it!!!!!

Surely, if the machine is THAT bad, it will take a lot in the cashbox, so however much you try to get rid of it, whether it be beer down the mech,mini chedders or a piece of haddock ( cod, for our English counterparts) they wont mind as its taking money.

Yeah but the mini cheddars get stuck in the coin slot. They don't drop to the bottom. Therefore the engineer has to come out, take the machine apart and push the jammed mini cheddars out!!!

Im not agreeing with any of this. Vandalism is not the way to go about things. I mean we all hate bellfruit but you cant just vandalise them because they dont profit people like us.

They are there to make money out of punters, and for peoples enjoyment. There designed so any random can put a couple of quid in, get offered a couple of quid back out. That is the general idea in theory isnt it?? Highlight the word GAMES. Barcrest Games, Global Games!

Dont just trash machines because you think its funny. I definitly wont be laughing if i press the wrong button because some scum has messed with the machine.

Obviously a word of reds would be beautiful but the worlds not perfect!

I can never agree to vandalisation (er, make that vandalism!), but the simple way to stop a machine from being a bugger to you, is don't play it!
I'm sure there's enough pubs near 'most' people to be able to find at least a couple of machines that you want to play?

theoak · Post by **theoak** » Mon Feb 19, 2007 5:59 pm

Yeah, is it a bit pikey to trash machines, I never have and doubt I would unless I suspected very foul play (£200 without a descent win for example)......

.....But swapping the deal and no deal buttons still sounds funny. id love to watch somone try and collect £10 for beer money only to deny the offer and end up with a £1 rpt..

..which doesnt repeat. Somones walking home!

INdeed, funny button swaps are fine and quite funny, but physically vandalising machines is stupid.

What about people who turn all the fruit machine volumes up to 99? That actually annoys me a fair bit... :P :x

rollem · Post by **rollem** » Mon Feb 19, 2007 7:26 pm

Fair enough funny to see i can see that funnyness.

Deal is on the left hand side isnt it?? Its got me confused trying to picture it in my head!!

I remember playing a Legal Tender with the volume full up, and it was like 'BOOM BOOM BOOM' when the reels stopped!
