....is what i was told in a place i frequent a few hours ago! :x
Been going in there for yonks now and no problem at all. Today though, they took exception. As it was there was sod all good in there anyway. I'd made a few quid on Beat The Banker, left ROTJs as it was comatose, then tried gold rush. In first board for flat, but still ready afterwards. Took £60 more to go in for a £105. Cue mass payout and me trying to make it as quiet as possible. Anyway, scoop the coins up and make away as i usually do. Walk out the door and i hear
'Oi, you!'
'Me?'
'Yeah. You can't ever come in here again. My locals are getting really upset and angry that you keep clearing out the machines all the time.'
'Rubbish. I've not been in for a month, and i don't ask you for my money back when i lose do i?
'What? Every time i see you in here you leave with loads of money. It isn't fair, and you aren't coming back in'
'Not my fault your customers don't know what they're doing is it!!!'
....and with that, she slammed the door and went back inside. Only plus is that its shit machines anyway. Principle has annoyed me a lot though, theyve never taken exception in like 3 years. Why now?! :x I always make a point of being genial and polite where i go so as to keep people happy. Maybe i should just act like a twat and fit in eh.
Get out, and don't come back!
Get out, and don't come back!
"Sixty percent of the time, it works, every time!"
Thanks for that. I could be really condescending and say that it is actually your and not you're. Oops.
Anyway, you know what i mean. I try and be nice and it just gets thrown back in your face. The point was more directed at people like the barmaid who think that they can speak to you like that just because they work behind a bar. I've been asked to leave somewhere before, but the girl there was almost apologetic and dead polite about it. Why can't people have a bit of courtesy? :x

this kind of treatment really gets my back up ,although i work in an arcade and can see the point sometimes about having to look after the locals. last time i got kicked out of anywhere was about 12 years ago at flamingo in great yarmouth(the east coasts premier seaside town).
i had done nothing wrong and merely was checking a visable tube .
the new guidelines state that gambling must be conducted in a fair and open way . if you have a complaint it must be logged. a compliance officer is in charge of inspecting an arcade and its machines as well logged events. a lot of complaints regarding un fair treatment may look suspect to the compliance officer and under the law he would be required to act. i look forward to hearing if anyone has pulled this off!

People tell me I'm being over-the-top when I tell them that I only ever play GamesMedia machines £1-at-a-time, making it impossible for there to ever be more than 2 credits available at one time - so the bank can only reach £70. Collecting it down slowly and then sticking the next quid in allows the remaining £35 to bank up without auto-dumping and hey presto .... embarrassment avoided.
The only times I've ever had problems from a landlord or publican is when I've failed to conceal an all-in-one-go £105 autodump.

Yeah, you do need to act like more of a twat actually. Here is a case in point. I had floated into a Precipitaticiouspoons in a city centre that isn't Leicester, Northampton, Birmingham, Manchester, Plymouth, Nottingham or Monks Kirby.
This was some time ago and it was quite early and quiet. That's a lie. It's never quiet in precipitaciouspoons. It was full of drunken old Irish people who had failed to locate The Jaguar. Anyway I had sneaked in and what a sin, what a sin, didn't buy a drink. Tsk! Tsk! A quick peep at POG or Pots of Gold if you don't know the Acrington O'Stanley O'Nimes. That was the plan. Truth be told, it's not the place for someone in my position to be seen. It's really not. It's unprofessional to see someone of my status playing a 'gambling device' within such a non surlubrious scrubby establishment as 'spoons. Rubbing shoulders with the great unwashed, you know, you know old boy. Just playing a bit of micro stakes poker whilst I type this. AHEM. Normally I play high stakes, power poker with the pros, but obviously typing and concentrating. uuuft. It's a big ask, so I play micro stakes whilst chatting at you guys with my fruit nonsense.
Check this out, some donk gets annoyed that I raised to 4BB (that's 24p folks) on my first hand and throws his toys out the pram. Incidentally I had 7 3os, I thought he could see my hand when he first started getting mardy.

Nudgeman: @@@BLOOP!
Sorry, let me start all over. Yeah, Mattb hollered @ by a powerfreak barmaid after an unfortunate (@@@BLOOOP) £105 top. A POG which used to be in 'spoons. I've jumped on......yeah just doing the elitist act up there, I'm not a snob or anything, I just can't stand people who don't wash. Soap and water costs nowt. if you want to get pissed at 10am every freakin' day, go for it man! go for it dude! Just f'ing well wash before you camp out next to the POG BANDIT.
So there was I REBELLING against the system by not buying so much as a coffee. I'm usually pretty good, but this was 'Spoons and it was full of 'Goons, so I wanted a quick bleep bloop in out LED says mega type BOOM blag.
Well there I was on the board when motormouth walks in. Jesus Christ.
"BOOOOM!!! Wassup geeza innit?" (true transcript minus the big boom at the start)
"Errr" (trying to act inconspicuous)
"YEAH! WAZZZA! Just ripped the JACKPOT on this INNIT? GEEZA BRUV? INNIT? (Spider at LFE anyone?) You wont get it naaaaaah ITS ALREDDDY GONE INNIT? HAHAHAHAHHAAH!!!"
<<Collect red SS>>
"Take it TAKE IT!!!! TAKE IT INNINT!!! TAKE IT!!! YEAH SOUND!!!"

"AAAAHAHAH!!! SICK MAN!!! SICK MAN!!! INNIT? JUST HAD £100 OUTTA this AS Well" facing bar staff " YEAH FUCKING SWEET RIPPING THE FUCK OUTTA THE BANDIT NICE ONE.....SWEEEEEEEETTT YEAH MAN ......FUCKING SWEEET!!! EASSSEEEEEE!!!! YEAH GEEZA!!!!! GOT A SPARE QUID? SPENT THE NIGHT IN THE FUCKING CELLLSSSS INNIT???!?! JUST GOT a £100 ON THAT ....LEND US A QUID INNIT?"
I hoped the ground would swallow me up as I collected my illicit £35. My head bowed in reverential shame, my bandit playing skills blown apart for the whole of <<barpentry>> to hear. This looks bad. Caught red handed, no coffee, no pint, no pack of scampi, sweet Annie Faddams. With £35 pound coins in my hand and Cov...I mean <<barpentry>>'s finest motorgob bellowing his lungs around the pub.
I slowly looked up in shame, expecting an arsenal of dreary bar managers and Leisure Link engineers to be in a queue telling me I was barred and not welcome back.
NO! I was invisible now.......(Flaming Lips, You're invisible now...not called that...Youtube it....you're invisible now.....dooo dooo dooo)
INVISIBLE. As invisible as the 'non visible man' (W H Gells) - library it. Dot com.
No one was fatting a bucking eyelid. I had blended in. I'd like to say.....aha...there you go Matt. If I was all polite and squeaked up to the bar and said Please Sir! Can I have a coffee and a dash of Pimms to go thanks that I'd have been barred.
fact is, my story is bollocks (it's true) but what I mean is the point I'm making is ill fabricated. You can do anything in 'Spoons (except Bognor Spoons according to fruit Emu's finest, Grand Blaster Chandler). I could go in there, smash the machine up with a baseball bat, defeacate on the floor and all would be well. Honest.
Where the hell was I going with this? I don't know.
Maybe, just maybe, if you'd announced on entry "I'm here to skank your machines" they'd have laughed, assigned you local status and you'd have had a passport to repeated 105 drops. here we are...got the problem there.....that's it....IGNORE EVERYTHING I've said until now.....
The problem is WE ALL LOOK EMBARESSED with a 105 top. Do not be ashamed let it clank out....noisy Elegance cabinet auto drop 105 clank out...let it clank out £105.........LOUD AND PROUD. Announce loudly
"ONE OH FIVE POUNDS.....I ONLY PUT IN TEN PENCE. I HAVE CLEANED OUT THE BANDIT. HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH FOOOLS!!!! I HAVE WON IT IS MY MONEY NOW!" Then leave. Do not buy a drink, publicans see this as a sign of weakness. Try and use the toilet without buying a drink as well, just to let 'em know you mean business.
Ob all that pony about £1 at a time? Jeez bang in a couple of twenties, maybe three twenties. If you get £105 in a quid, let it all clank out, all £162 of it....how many £20s can you put in.......shove a load in for Christ's sake.....go for the whole hopper.....do an IOU shove in £300 of twentys get two £105 tops and demand a double refill or if there was £1 in the hopper and the changer was faulty...demand a triple refill.
FACT: Most pub managers are totally happy with triple on site £250 instantaneous refills for punters that haven't bought a drink and have used the toilet already.
If Liam Gallagher walked into your local and bagged a £105 top would he be looking all sheepish? Would he? Would he? eh? Nah.....he'd let it clank out SING IT LOUD AND SING IT PROUD.....clanka clanka....clanka.......clanka there you go.
I hope I have been helpful in some bizarre way. Probably not, in which case I hope my drunken wamblings have cheered you up in some way. We all know it's bollocks at times, but chin up and GOOD LUCK!

Barred for fiddling the barmaid, or her machine? 
This really miffs me off - if they're going to have machines in pubs, 'accept' that sometimes, people will clean up on them. OK, I realise if it's a 'regular' occurence, then a lot of them will start to frown on it - but do they bat an eyelid to the hundreds of pounds that they 'do make' from random punters and even some of us when on a loss? I think not.
The most recent banning for me was just over a year ago, in some poncey wine-bar type place. Well, I say that, but 'they liked to think' they were a poncey wine-bar type place. IT was just Ikea cack plastered over a really shabby interior. I was playing a Holey Moley, and cracked a one-oh-five off of the top, after only having one sip of my pint, and having put £5 in. I collected and went over to the quizzer, and as I did, the 'non-English' fellow from behind the bar went and put the bolt over the front door?! I thought nothing of it at the time, but as I finished my pint and went to the front door, he stood there and just said "Don't bother coming in here again." I replied with that great bit of language "eh?" and he just repeated it, before making me agree to it, else he wouldn't let me out!!
Anyway, I said "Fair enough." and he let me go.
Pillock...

"And do you ever contradict yourself, Minister?" "Well, yes and no..."
I might sound daft (am not a pro) but why does anyone get barred out? The few times I have had big money from the arcades, no-one bats an eyelid.
Are most people on this forum pro players? Are you using any special devices to win? Do you have any knowldege greater than most casual players? Or do you just 'force' say a £35 JP repeat?
I'm not asking for details if you know any foolproof tricks of the trade but as someone who only knows things like 3 holds/hold after nudge etc, are you doing that much different than anyone else when playing the machines?
Thank you
