[Dc Dc39 WANTED $74 Outlaw]

Haha was having this conversation with a friend today so thought i would share it here…….

Years ago when pub bandits first went to 50p spins and i was a poor lad, i remember pummelling this machine with all the money i had on me, back in the day when 3 holds was only way to get a feature, i spent the lot, had 2 holds and needed another 40p to try get the feature, ended up going to the bank and withdrawing 90p out of my 97p left in my account haha! Should of seen the cashiers face!! Was so embarrassing……went back to pub, put the 40p in and sure enough it held hahaha…….got on the board and won £20! Felt like the king of the world haha!!! So i went back to the bank and got same wifie and depositted £9.93 to get me to a tenner……her reply was “I have no idea what has happened here” hahaha is that funny, embarrassing or desperate??..answers on a postcard hahaha

LOL, we have all been there and done that fella. Fruit machines just eat up money these days but back then you had a rough idea when the slot was about to drop. I personally would give the room a good eyeball when I realised a trip to the cash machine was needed, there was always some fucker that had sat in the background watching every move you had made on the machine. Inevitably they would always be playing away at it by the time you got back. #LURKERS

I think it’s pretty standard mate we always find a way ????

I used to go to Waitrose round the corner from an arcade I played in if I had done my cash withdrawal limit. 3 chocolate bars for a quid and 50quid cash back.

That’s why I used to be a fat fucker lol

All been there mate. I remember having 2 active debit cards for 1 account. I put them both in 2 different cash machines at the same time trying to withdraw what I had available by hitting the enter button on both machines at the same time. needless to say it didn’t work. One paid out the other said insufficient funds. ??

Aye thats a good point, dare i say it but pub slots used to be good, maybe a mix of online not being an option or the £100 ones that can take £500 plus to drop!! Lol thankfully those days are long gone but funny to reminisce!!

First pub slots I remember were £6 jackpot in tokens. You could spend behind the bar. Twilight zone was in my local. Great slot.

I’m still having flashbacks on the “token” years where they could be exchanged for alcohol.. Not going down that rabbit hole again.

Infact thinking about it 10p supertubes £4 jackpot mid 80’s was only about 8 but believe it or not was in pub every sat night with parents. Just sat watching people play it wanting to have a go.

We’ve all been there haha.. Having to take out the pennies in the account…. After loosing it all one day, going home to no food, me and the GF managed to scrape up just enough for a large portion of Chips & curry sauce, got to the Chinese and we were a penny short.. They refused to let us hand in a penny…. Had to walk 1 mile to the next Chinese ? raging.

Went down at 5pm the next day when they opened to see if/how they got the shop shutters open with all that superglue in their padlocks. ? Funtimes. Hint they didn’t ?

No no I would never do that, not me.

Most of the young fuckers on here will think this is an 80s ATM.. The 40 plus Boys and Girls may recognise this old lad where a £3 jackpot could buy you a suit with enough change to deposit a mortgage on a house.

Don’t know you are born.

This is more comedy gold Andy – get that auto biography written for goodness sake! Only a gambler could go into Waitrose, effectively spend £51 and emerge with nothing but a Twirl triple pack!

And this made me chuckle too! I like to think #Haz40 was trying to kid the cashpoint outside the very same supermarket at the very same time as #andywilliams1187 was inside at the checkout with his Twirls and debit card!

Line up what a bandit that is. I still play it. It’s in an arcade in cleethorpes. Blacko ha remember playing that with superwin and ratrace. 10p reel crazy my old time fav though.

[Mr Mr B WANTED $395 Blocked]

Those were the days. lool 2p play £2 bellfuit jackpots and it sometimes held. jeeez.

I remember going into quicksilver west bromwich they still had pinball machines in the back room which is now reserved for the barx and 10p. Some years later I played Coronation St and won £40 in tokens, stepped next to it and played Eastenders and that gave me 4 jackpots too so I went onto fireball, which did a double run after I had flooded about 12 quid of tokens into it.. I had over £100 of tokens in my back pocket and it was literally pulling my jeans down. Managed to convert it into over £60.

The delboy slot was feckin awesome and every arcade you went in, you could hear casinocrazy
