I've only ever had a situation like this once, and that was when I was doing a Money Laundry in a pub in Bridgend.
After 15 minutes or so and with a couple of jackpots already under my belt, the machine started to really warm up. With jackpot number 3 seconds away, I bashed an 11 lower for a 12, lost my extra life...and then suddenly 5 or 6 Welsh chavs were on me, mouthing obscenities and abuse.
A couple of minutes of being threatened then ensued, before I made the wise decision to collect my money and leave the machine before I got glassed. I was so angry with the way I was being treated that I was tempted to put the start button through or disable the machine in some way just to make sure they missed out along with me. Had it been one person or two I would have maybe stood my ground and told them to fuck off, but there were six of them, all decked-out in the latest chav attire of the time. Two of them didn't even look old enough to be in the pub, but were happy to gob off with their mates there to protect them. One guy who looked half-sensible made some sort of lame attempt to apologise or even condone what was happening by saying they all 'had mouths to feed' (noses more like, judging by the look of a couple of them), but I wasn't interested and walked out. I didn't care about the money.
But you're going to get this happen occasionally, maybe even more so at the moment with money thin on the ground. It's just one of those things. I would imagine that they would have ended up 150 up on the machine at best, which between 5 or 6 is a pittance really and would have gone straight in some of their arms, or towards their crack-addict girlfriends' cigarette money for the week, so at least that was a comforting thought...

Mr McStreak
An unfortunate but increasingly common occurance i'm afraid, particularly in and around Cardiff where fruit playing has pervaded the routine of many a crack addict. its seen as an easier route to gaining the necessary funds. I ventured over the bridge some 6 months ago, for a change of scenery. I was aware of the potential hazards, but also aware that there was value to be had.
I got the dial in the train station done quickly enough and with no hassle, so proceeded to the spoons. Ordered the farmhouse special breakfast and took the cluedo out cheap, which I took as an encouraging sign. The dial was floated, but was sucking for the phone and had no initial value in it, so I pulled up a pew. Shortly a group of half caste/chinese looking parasitic degenerates walked in and briskly headed for the cluedo. That was when I regretted sitting down, and also considered that retrospectively my decision to take the cluedo was a bad one because once they had established the cluedo was dead they assumed I had done it, and turned their attention to me. I recognised one of them, i'd told him to FUCK OFF OUT OF MY SIGHT once in temple meads train station when he attempted to get me off the most daunting. "bashing my manor is it boyo?" I was asked. I was in a pickle here, because I couldn't feign innocence when the dial was belatedly kicking out a 95 bank. His mate, who was visibly shaking, came over and his demeanour quickly reduced my previously robust stance to that of fear and self preservation. "i'm 140 into this, I lied, but it wasn't going to wash. One of them had just been over to costa coffee to steal some straws. They are more durable than regular straws, which suggested they served an alternative purporse, ie, smoking crack through. He seemed pleased with his haul. "This is no good" I thought to myself. At that point a member of staff cleared my plate off the table. I followed him back to the bar, hoping the scum wouldn't follow, turned, and briskly walked out.
I was glad to be back on a bristol bound train, but annoyed that these PRICKS thought it okay to come over and tell bristol players to leave locations alone, in their own area. The desperation of these lost souls was a stark reminder of how many people live. They were literally dependant on wedging a few cluedos in order to purchase enough drugs to get them through another day. It was either this, or crude theft.
Its instances like this that makes me edge closer to a proper job, or furthering my education. Frankly I consider myself lucky on that occasion.

i have been threatened on numerous occasions and everytime have managed to walk away unscaved , i seen a little weird deformed elf type guy doing one of my cashattacks i keep on top of the other day , i watched from the bar as he COB for revolver and hit it with ease , and decided to approach him ..
"alreight matey i said "
" yes thanks " he replied
" do ya mind not coming here again i do it all the time ( then went on to give him a good route im barred from near by )
he said ok no problem ill finish today if thats okay ive travelled 30 miles.
"ok ill go this way you go that way and dont come again "
" agreed "
whats wrong with that i ask all the hooligans ? i could of easily took him outside for a pasting or at the least a verbal barrage of abuse but i dont see the point, if i came to any of your guys area and you asked me to leave nicely i would regardless of whos the biggest or got more mates with em.
dont see the point of violence over a machine , people who resort to this are fucking degenerate morons who should of been put down at birth, whats wrong with this fucking world.

I agree.
Nobody has a divine right to certain machines. When you chose to play for profit be it full time or otherwise you do so in the knowledge that anybody is free to play a machine.
I find it annoying when people do my "core" games, that's part of the irrationality that comes with this game. The fact is there's nothing you can do about it, and it's not your money in the machine. You could be getting into 5+ fights a day taking the threats route.

Lol, thanks for the advice as I fit into the said bloke category, I guess I must now retire from the game, so not to upset anyone that needs my local machine to buy their daily bread/6 pack.HorseRacingKing wrote:75% of Fruit Machine players come from a poverty stricken background and fights tend to be what they relish on. Most people complaining on here are brought up in good areas and hardcore players with no quallifcations need there machines not some bloke in his 30s on 30k a year job taking his profit.

Not sure whether that was directed solely at me or generally to people on this thread.
If it was however, your first figure is too high and your second figure too low.

I think mm is a pro footballer on the sly, you know, with his monster wage. 
In my opinion fmlad, you did the sensible thing matey. Having to walk away from a machine £60 in and showing takes alot of willpower, courage maybe....but at the end of the day its only money, which comes and goes. If these gu(a)ys were as menacing as you say they may have been tooled up and probably wouldn't have thought twice about glassing/bottling you either. Horrible, cowardly f*cking scrotes. :x
I, like a few of us on here would have stood my ground, mainly on principal, but unfortunately dead heroes are quickly forgotten.
Here's a little tip for anyone playing the bandits, oops maybe that should be fruits, damn, lets call them machines in the Admiral Dunc - carry a holdall with you. If you're bullied or intimidated whilst playing the m/c point to the bag and make a hammering motion......they'll soon leave you alone, mwaahahaha.

Interesting comments, lol even the intended puns'. Believe it or not these' places' are the best to make money from... Most punters' shreek' Ohh look i've won 3 quid' collect and walk off... (After putting in 20 of course)..
The 2 who came in were there for the machine, nothing else, which given their attitudes\mannor was surprising... Me, I'm not a handbag person , though i suspect the tools in their bags didnt contain batterys !!
ops:"ahhh look dont bother going in there its a bell fruit"
