Thiefs!! (Bet you never heard this one before)
So i was down at the arcade near me tonight, trying to pick up some left over machines that may be ready, first machine took £12, next machine lost £15 next machine won £35, so far so good....
I press the collect button and the bank started to go down but no coins were dropping out. I called the guy over cause they had obviously got stuck somewhere? He has a look for about 10 minutes, puts his hand where the money flies out and said "FUCKING BASTARDS! AGAIN"
He then proceeds to pull out about 10 foot of toilet paper out of where the money drops out! Out came with it was £65! Just before this happened a guy had said to me "don't bother going to those guys who work here mate, they never give you your money, tight buggars!" anyway the guy made tracks pretty fast after i went to the staff, but they ran after him and caught him outside! As they had gone to get him i was left there with £65 in coins in the machine tray, i obviously decided to take them and force out a jacky on a diff machine! So made a nice lil profit, and got a 25 year old scally banned from the arcade! not bad for a days work eh?

Yeah I've seen that before. Once had it in a services where someone had put like a small tennis ball underneath the overhanging payout bit (on the new cabs). It meant they could squeeze it slightly and the pound coins that were trapped would slip out down the side of the ball. Except I ruined it for them when I decided to investigate where my 3 quid had gone, and walked away with about 30.
