I won the £50 jackpot on an old barcrest club machine in 1978.It paid out in old big 50p pieces.Seemed like a fortune then.
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 quid!)and he was happy.

Not sure, probably in the region of £80-£100.
Allthough amusingly last week collected the wrong thing on a wheel of wealth... collected one of the crap features instead of the £15 on the cash side, which in the end offered me a £1+repeat, which repeated 14 times, i get the feeling that machine decided i was having £15.

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 I picked one £60.The other amounts were 30,100,and 200!
I pressed collect for 78 returned just in time for the others to come out of the bog.
Bugger me,said they ,how did you get all that so quick?

Roulette
I was in my bookies, anyway Put £20 in and won £90 then was down to my last £10 and thought number 8 came in last go lets back that one. Lo and behold it came in. £36, then I backed 17 25 34 and 8 25 drops in for about £70 then I thought 8 came in twice maybe 25 will so put extra £1 on it, then it drops in. Decided to put another £1 on it and it came in 3rd time. Thought it will never come in 4th time, but put extra £1 anyway it drops in. Ended up winning £450 in total off £10er

Used to go to the grosvenor in bristol quite alot back in the day.. anyways, I used to lend some cash to one of the local couples that liked to row the fruits. One day, having done her sack in a £1000 "Casino Grand" Maygay fruit, she came up to me and said "I've left a pound in it, done my sack, I'm off before the husband comes". So, I went over, first £10 in, gave me a 4-blue streak for £150. Nice. Played it a bit more, and after about £40 in, 4 bells drop in for £1000. Just as the last bell came in, the husband walked in, looking like thunder, and caught the JP sequence :P
