People really need to learn how to save for a rainy day rather than spending every single penny the second they get paid, however hard that may sound.
Best memory of the bingo slots was when I spied an OAP on Pure Pots, she hobbled away for a minute and I was straight on as no reserved sign and I had spied the 500 Gold pot.
A fiver in yeah yeah yeah GOLD!
She came back ‘ooh I forgot to put me reserved sign on that’ face of thunder then just proceeds to rowing the next terminal along!
Mecca Bingo used to do those 4 pint pitchers too which were dangerous when playing the bingo on your own!
Where on earth did you get a Bankers Dozen fruit machine from?!
They only made about a dozen of those ever literally!
Autoplay is one of those things that no company quite knows the rules on, in the UK anyway. In other parts of the world you can quick spin Novos!
Arcades and bookies have had some interesting concepts over the years too, some arcades set it so you could only do 10 spins in autoplay before it reset again! Then there was a short period where the bookies/casinos had a ‘turbo spin’ button on the FOBT roulette to basically totally bypass the spin video! That didn’t last too long haha
There is even a £100 SG jackpot game that promises a higher % payout if you play on autoplay, not quite sure how they’re getting away with that one!
The worst is the autoplay tha takes longer to do the spins than just mashing the start button!
One thing that would drive me mad working in the arcade or casino would be the constant machine sounds! An 8 hour shift or whatever hearing that Novomatic ‘du du de de la la reel bonk bonk bonk’ constantly, no thanks! I suppose you would get used to it
The arcades used to have those right noise Reel King cabinets, with the massive fanfare attract video every couple of minutes on a loop at volume level 1 trillion! In fact here it is on YouTube! (Bandit will love this!)
It drove me so mad I often stuck a quid in every terminal playing it just to shut them up, but more often than not a punter would walk up to one think ‘ooh someone has left a quid in credits’ and spin the fucker off!!!
1Just me where energy drinks actually make me MORE tired?! I do love the taste of an original Monster Green can though, and the trouble is they’re included in the £3 meal deal at the shop near work, including the ‘mega’ 590ml odd can!
Weight is a weird one for me every time I check I’m roughly around 14 Stone and have been for years! Despite the fact I eat a LOT of takeaways, at one point literally 7 times a week so god knows why I never seem to gain weight! My stomach is a bit like an egg timer though with the sand at the bottom!
11Sign up to GamStop instead and you won’t be allowed to deposit to any UK online casino site any more anyway would be my advice!
11To be honest fruits these days it would be another 20 quid for the board even with that anyway!
Gone are the days when you needed some skill to play fruit machines, now all you need is a fat wallet for it to empty you of! Go to any random pub and observe how many fruits have been left with red reels for example, they mean absolutely bugger all these days!

I’ll send my details over so you can send the prize over, might cost more than the prize in postage!
30th December 2018 at 9:14 pm in reply to: Quick question to all ”spare change laying about “ #32766Had several times where a bingo hall or arcade didn’t have any notes left to change coins. I once ended up walking through Liverpool around 2am in the morning with about 700 quid coins in a bright red swag bag!
A couple of years ago most of the rubbish fruits were great coin changers as people were putting lots of money in but obviously getting nothing out as they’re rigged to win a tenner, once changed roughly 300 quid coins in a Queen We Are The Champions in a Spoons for notes! I also used to go to the casino if I had a large amount and fire them into the machines as fast as I could but I eventually got caught out! (‘You can change coins at the desk you know…Oh didn’t know that cheers’ – bet they won’t be assisting with several hundred on a weekly basis!)
Load up any of the newish William Hill slot games and you’ll see how they’re starting to prepare for the £2 maximum stake…essentially they’ve introduced ‘fortune spin’ stakes between the 20p – £2, so if you bet £2 you’ll be getting the same pay table as a lower stake but with ‘enhanced bonus symbols’ or similar, which in reality means sod all!
I’ve played a lot of the new games on 20p and struggle to see their potential there never mind at maximum stake!
I don’t think there is a flaw in the game design as such, each gamble is basically like sticking your money on red or black at the roulette table…but without the house edge of 0 so a true 50/50 shot each time,
I like this Derren Brown clip
The exact same outcome is possible on probably every Novomatic game, even the red or black card gamble! but Reel King has a base game that is designed more to chuck out more frequent decent wins/scrolls in the base game that can be gambled in the first place generally, Captain Bob on the other hand the game value is purely in the bonus which is really easy to get…
11Just to kick a guy while he was probably a bit down, the competition win was 1.5K not 3K too!
