    Saw it happen years ago, there was a bloke who constantly lost on them every week, one day he punched the screen and it shattered. Ladbrokes banned him.. for a fucking week. Was speaking to one of the blokes who repair them, he told me that they are replacing smashed screens daily.

    To be fair to the police . They don’t really care about damage to property off any sort . Fill out a form for the insurance . Not enough police to give it there time .

    Happens quite frequently. Bookies try to keep it out the news though. Machines should be banned in my opinion.

    For speeding, you get issued with (I think) a £70 fine.  I’ve known a few cases where you could waiver the fine but you have to take a driving refresher test.

    Smashing up any type of fruit machine is criminal damage.  Like with the speeding, it’s caught on CCTV and should be enforceable as a £70.  Or you can waiver it but you would had to go on an anger management course.

    notrege – congrats on £500 jackers 🙂

    Good on the bloke. These things ruin lives.

    (And the reason they aren’t reported is so that there is no negative data on FOBT use)

    smashing the screen of a FOBT may be wrong but so is empting the pockets of the addicted, one is legal the other isn’t but one is very immoral.
