A bar that used to have a happy campers now has a cluedo.
Went in and the biggest 2 slotters in there were on it. Now it used to have a happy campers and he was always like "u always win" and is one of the main regulars.
Anyway they are putting every last penny in it and it's off its head. They are even changin up notes at the bar.
Anyway waiting to see if they were going to leave they then got another pint and carried on standing next to it.
Had to leave it. Don't need to make it obvious. Also they always watch me as well. Watch me playing happy campers is one thing but not stood right next to me on a cluedo.
Went back next day and got lines of about £5.
Any1 else have similar troubles?
Had to not play a buzzing cluedo...

Jesus f'ing Christ (that's not blasphemous, so don't tell me it is)
I went into LFE last May, over a year ago (wowser - flown by) to play the p1 winstopper. Used to be in the corner, facing entrance Northbound. I had just started playing when some random middle aged guy, just stood there and started watching. I may have done a cake strange, but I had not obtained the WS yet (I was not a numbers person then, so used to collect the 50/50 etc)
Anybloop. He started gawping. Simple solution, start a pretend mobile phone conversation. Whilst I did that he was still gawping with a knowing look in his eyes that I was having a conversation with a mobile phone. IN the end I got cross as he was just sort of 'lumped' there beaded on me.
This was f'ing annoying. I mean it could have been the fresh box Kesh disguised as a strange person, trying to spy out emptiers.
So I voiced
"You're weird. What do you want?"
He smiled bizarrely, beningly, belidgerently. I felt a mixture of desires. I wanted to punch him, lead him to an institution and buy him an instruction manual for tying up shoelaces all at once. I think he was just, I don't know, you get some funny fookers that float into services. I think my body language and vocalisations prompted him to watch someone on HC for a while.
Alas the button was starting to stick, so it was almost impossible to do things my way. The dial started pooping about, so I pooped in a bloop for quite good deal, £35 game so much better and moved on. He was still staring benignly at HC when I left and no one was playing it anymore.
I once played a certain Games Media in front of an old boy. He was quite friendly and didn't mind him watching, knew he didn't really care. He wife was in the gift shop. He asked me lots of questions about the £500 jackpots and I gave him the answers. All apart from the question about always winning on Cashino.
Anotehr day I changed up about £300 of notes with this guy in Hopwood Park. I'd just been on a sort of Tamworth/M42/B'ham type of run and my extra pocketed trousers were dangerously near capacity. He just kept punting Elvis and didn't remark that it was odd that I was carrying £300 of coins to play a £35 jackpot machine. In the end I had to leave, he was gutted as the change machine was out. Elvis was taking notes, but he said it'd pay out more if he put coins in. I changed up a further £100, wished him luck and moved on. Still he didn't bat an eyelid and yes, they were real notes.
It was lovely getting back in the car with an almost normal load of coins. Driving along with £100 on one side, £100 on the other side, £200 in the back.....OUCH. All the way from bleedin' Toddington to Northampton. Ok, not that far, had already done Pagnell and just cheking in to other side Northants (didn't know bridge code) was leaving out town that day as this was strictly a motorway run.
Them bloody Pam's pantrys and Fone bitz would only change £20 a time. The assistant would go 'ooooh I shouldn't really but I can change up £20'.
"Can you do £200?"
"NO!"
Guy with attitude in WHSmiths in Toddington. Bought a paper and asked if I could change £40ish of coins. Was met with a very aggressive 'NO'. I don't know if he thought I was on a fast one, but I was slightly offended by his manner. Bit of a mini Hitler.
Fact is, when playing on your own, you don't want to give away a very, very fresh emptier. When you're driving down the M1 and they're near full mid afternoon, you know you're in business. Shame I couldn't get more time away to do things properly. I could have caned it big time.
Very worrying in the early days. Used to get really paranoid every time. Later in the day you just don't give a shit, it's getting chipped, so bash it, if someone sees, good luck to 'em. Early days though - information is VALUE.
I'd also check here. Some gooner had started a thread on 'why are all the winstoppers left on ??p' and someone had replied.."You'll see soon enough". That's when I knew the rot had arrived. Of course not too long after it was on Ebay for £5. Boo hoo.
Real fresh in early days. the Globe in Leicester was randomly £247 off back in early April (when it had just come in). I remember drinking my pint and actually whacking a few bob in on 50p to keep it ticking over.
Then the tooling got massive later on in the day. p1 wiyb with doable notey. Yikes must have been a bad one for the operator. People were asking 'what's the emptier for Goldrush?' Hmmmmmm.
As for people going on about unchipped Power 5s in bowling alleys. Don't be ridicuous. The chances of finding one unchipped in a bowling alley/Cineworld is microscopically small. The first ever chipped winstopper I played was in Hollywood Bowl in ?????????? July 3rd, 2007 I think. Tenpins were hot on Hollywood's heels.
Christ I was late on Power 5 though. Thought I was the bees knees knowing about the '5'. If only, if only. Seriously if you'd known all that stuff, all three of 'em back in March. Come on......that would have been HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGEEEEE.
Unchipped P5s can be lovely when you're getting the run of the nap, but when they play up and I'm talking when they're properly dead, they can be a right pain in the arse. I mean it's ages ago since I actually played one, as they're not exactly in abundance, here in The Midlands. But I remember some long, long battles with well hit, refilled units. That Spoons, Anfield, must have given you battles at times. If it was properly dead, no way would you have had that £200 out before afternoon always. You must have had some all dayers in there at times. Blag an early fruit win and it's down to 7. regular first spin 11......£1 boards. Poor box selection. You know it's the 1p but that MS and £35 is still there. Aaargh! Boof ! Baf! They've gone. Now you have to collect £2.87 yikes!!! Should have taken £11 last round. But you wanted the £24 offer didn't you? Eh?
Distant memories now, lucky to have an unchipped power 5 or even a p2 winstopper. Last p2 winstop I knew was in a pub that got refurbished about one month ago. refurbishment bought a wave of new machines. Boo hoo.
That's all in the past now. The real pro bloopers are out there playing Monopoly Hot Property and new chip GG and Snakez.
