£50 up and didnt have to play a machine. The bonus of having your own and letting a few of the lads come round over the weekend.
Generally I find that's the way to turn friends into not so friendly friends. If you've got 50 friends and they all lose £1 each, well not such a worry, but if you've only got half a friend who loses £100, then you're into serious issues. For a start there is the trail of entrails which a half friend inevitably leaves lying around.
What I did was weld together a steel box about 3m*1m*1m and chemically sealed it to the floor, in a big city centre. It was more than just a steel box of course. It had a speaker, some flashy lights, a basic coin slot some buttons and the illusion of a game. It was 50p a game. Essentially it flashed randomly, giving the illusion of some kind of skill game. Rarely it'd pay the quid back out (only accepted quids). It was just a con really. There was no skill, no game, just random illuminations.
It was opened by a special magnetic lock. What I'd do is creep into town about 5am when revellers were at a minimum and pre 'the big sweep up'.
Usually I'd find just a handful of coins inside the box, but a few nights some poor sod who'd hit the jackpot down the pub, would have spunked the lot in the box! One night I found almost £700 in there! Then I fitted a note acceptor and that's when my mortgage overpayments really started firing up. Most nights I was scooping up in excess of £1000! It was fantastic. That was, until a community policeman (so I was told) lost most of his savings on it. Ooooops. Court cases were bought against me, I had to pay out vast sums of compensation. I was fined heavily for operating what pertained to be an illegal gambling game and my name was mud. The council plonked a statue of a naked lady on a horse on top of my steel box, to disguise the shameful horror of my actions (and to avoid paying contractors to remove it as it was chemically sealed into the ground.)
It was a shame as the next step was a credit card reader so I could set up my own international credit card scamming company.
Anyway that was, as you probably guessed from around the second word, what is known as a load of old bollockswallop. I shall now get back to the tedious work I was doing previously. The Nudgeman Christmas Story will be better than that. Bloop.

no offence at all but I just think its wrong to take money from your friends... infact its awful.. why are they your friends?
you effectively make money, at the expense of others, thats the way it is in the fruit machine world...
BUT to make money from your friends? Thats just low in my opinion
