Played one in Felixstowe a few weeks back and it put me on the feature every 4 or 5 goes.Each time giving me a standard board win of £45-75.But added up to £300+,so left it after 10 spins without going up.
Previous to that have had £500 for £8 in,lots of rows of 7's.

Arrgh. The spanish fruities pay out large wins(think it is 120 euros for a jp at present)as a series of wins. By law they can only pay a few euros per spin,so the m/c just keeps spinning the wins in until the JP is paid. It was the same in the peseta days. Your Carlos Santana lookalike obviously saw...

The machines in Holland(mainly barcrests)have to play out a gamble with 99.9%chance of winning a punt towards the top game.4 punts give you a spin up top. Each play is 20c so 80c or maybe 1 euro gets you a spin at the top game.Some cost 10 euros for one spin! Can be worth it though,I've frequently w...

Yes,a lot of them do seem to streak. I scored the £500 from a repeating board just after a one shot £100 on random monopoly. Barcrests seem good,I've seen a Cashino go to £900 from a £500 then other wins. Or you may get the jackpot to see them go dead.If nothing much happens £10-20 after the jacky w...

Sorry.I didnt word it very well.
If you have no luck to begin with(I limit myself to £40in one session,but anyone could do the same with 10-20)then walk away.
I wouldnt stick 10-20 in each s16 the place had.

I've found the way to come away with profit on these is to limit yourself to 10-20 quid per machine. If it doesnt pay from the first note,sod it. That is how people lose hundreds/thousands on one machine. There is nothing to chase,the machine will pay when it wants. A couple of days back I walked wi...

Having checked this week it was the Forum that awarded me £500 from Monkey business off a £10 investment. Having said that the guy then put in £2 to 'clear the reels' which gave him 4 hunters for £60 .Could have done that myself though. I was happy to get the 500 changed to notes and get out of the ...

My job takes me to Felixstowe. In the last months I've stopped off at the 2 arcades near the old fun fair(not the one in front of it). Went in both with £40 in my pocket. The first one gave me £500 from megaslot within £20. Then last tuesday I got a full window of lions for another £500 on Monkey bu...

Probably just pure luck.Had the same sort of luck just once.£100 on the board of Random Monopoly,a few spins later the £500 drops.Moved to Rainbow Riches to get £500 from 4 Irish geeezers quickly.
Your head is buzzing when it happens.

Myself and 3 others popped into a deserted Birchanger Green services tonight for a pee coming back from the Metropolis. I came out,stuck my customary 20 pound note in an Elvis,first press 4 jukeboxes. So...

It was the local british legion.Went in with my dad.I was over 18,but club gaffer didnt want me to have the cash because I wasnt a member.Gave him a years membership(about a qu...
