Most Embarrassing Machine You've Been Barred For

Post by Matt Vinyl »

Thought this might be interesting, seeing as there's not terribly much else going on at the moment. :)

For me, a 'Crest "Open The Box" (£35). Managed to get 3x£35s out of it over the space of about £50 and was promptly told on my next visit (a lot later, to see if they had something better!) that 'The owner has told me not to serve you'...

I'm sure there's a lot worse - like popping a couple in a DOND Big Deal and having it turned off on you?! :)

Barred from arcade for 5jp ancient (10 years old anyway) bar x.

Went in once a week when passing and got swiftly barred on vist 3 as no-one else had played the machine in the last three weeks so I must be up to something - realised the battery was flat on vist 3 incidently.

I got barred from a weatherspoons whilst I was playing a Crazy Cobra. I had a number runner, and the manager came running over accusing me of fiddling the machine to get 'unlimited nudges'.

I've also been barred back in the day for playing a red arrows and taking a call on my mobile phone at the time. I think the guv'nor had been reading a PC Magazine or something, as he accused me of dialling up the machines modem and sending commands to it !

Probably a pick your pesos on £25 jackpot.

Was extremely annoyed I couldn't get the streak on this unit, so I started going in every day until I got it. Got barred despite losing. Fools.
Bored of the grind.

Had a similar one to that myself. I did a wild thing on a cluedo whilst ordering a pizza and the gaffer, though watching me hit it, accused me of using my phone to get a jackpot! I was even specifying no peppers, extra ham and stuff. He literally thought I was taking the piss... In fact, I was just bloody hungry and it was the last pub of the night. He is quite an unlucky chap though as it goes, as one night some arsehole bunged his sinks up and the toilets were flooded causing him to close early.

:shock:
Bollocks to all you idiots!

Doing a Power 5 u/c for months, walked into pub, saw machine had changed to a Jackpots that rock & roll, played it just for sake of it and got barred after a few quid in, few quid out, you could say the barring was "timed to perfection", at least!

Bell fruit pots of gold!!

Had been warned off playing the machine in this particular establishment before (always had good reds).
Dropped in for a pint with only a few coins on me thought i'd try for a quick board to cover the beer cost - only went super and repeated to £105 :o ops: :o ops:

Polietly asked to drink up and clear off

Spiker the Biker, I used to play it in my mates pub after work back in early 2000's and i always won as he worked for the same pub chain as me so i was allowed in after hours. I ALWAYS got to it before the staff did so there was bad feeling. The time came when there was a problem with all the board lights so the alpha was the only lights working and it dropped first pound to the back. Did a let them spin on 3 bars for a fiver, lower of 12 then exchanged. Kept pressing and I got tops but couldnt take HI - LO notes as couldnt see, stopped on JP and it repeated. They think I had messed around to make it do that lol

Got asked to leave tonight when £40 into an alien.... because the collect button was stuck :roll:

Got 5 k.os and tried to unstick the button and the barmaid walks over and says "It doesnt work if you punch it" And btw, i fan from punched it. Blah blah your up to something, accused me off keying etc which I never did, see you later.

Was very tempted to leave it 'keyed' when leaving so she (or no one)could get on it. Thats would only confirm what she thought she knew though, whats the use :)

NO way to get to it without getting on a plane though is there?
