Mate of mine was paranoid about having a refill key so used to wear it on a chain around his neck. Old bill stopped him one day so he swallowed it. Turned out they were only doing spot checks on insurance, tax , tyres etcetera.

Whilst I don't think it would happen they could quite easily consult a specialist in fruit machines and bring a £25 Extreme to court, then Call up professor Kesh to demonstrate how a Key does indeed help you get money out of a fruit machine.

PROTIP:

Point out the BBC "the real hustle",in particular the video clip on refill keys, say you were copying them, the BBC never did anything wrong surely!

As Chief Wiggam would say ' you're goin away for a lonnnng time', only joking mate.

More trouble than they're worth are refill keys, one was left in a machine the other day which I didn't even touch because I don't bother with them. Maybe thats why I break even on alot of machines rather than win big.

Unless you have previous you won't go to jail, possible community service? New legislation needs to be written once and for all - black and white rather than greyness.

is it only me.. or has anyone else exercised a degree of caution and never been caught using a key ? Been going on 10 years now without a tug on the collar.

Some of the people I have played with however, I'm surprised they aren't barred from everywhere the way they key fruits... like trying to get their front door key into the neighbours door lock after a night on the piss !

I've been caught roughly i would say 6-7 times in 11 years, through being pissed mainly, and stupidly leaving my key in between boards when playing an extreme

soon got out that habit. i'm pretty quick when sober, but when drunk, to quote blackmogu its like ''trying to get their front door key into the neighbours door lock after a night on the piss''

ops:

i rarely slot alone, and having 2 of you helps no end.
