Well got a £50 top on a sub zero as I started collecting the machine went off, the guy said that i was fiddling it and I wasnt anyway police come nicked me and me mate for fraud and theft.
Took £400 in coins off me C.I.D raided me house whilst i was in the cell (there for 24 hours) took me mam and das laptop seized me car and phone and then interviewed us about a refill key.
The key was from about a year ago which I got off me mate after we got a machine for free, anyway they think its being used to tamper with bandits and stuff.
I had to explain how to play a sub zero and rovers etc tell them were I had being and stuff like that.
Anyway after going out playing I have had everything take off me they are going to search this site I reckon as they think I am a fraudster and then me bail is for march the 4th.
Personally I dont think they have a case as i aint used the key and its not illegal to have one, but now I am kicked out of me house if I play a machine ever again and have me bank accounts seized and getting searched as part of the vharge is money laundering.
Its so unbelivable its untrue im just so fucked now after doing nothing wrong?.
24 hours in a cell for getting a top on a sub zero seems a bit harsh to me, maybe playing is nearly over then.

I've gotta be honest with ya Anfield, you ain't my favourite member but this is an outrage, a fucking joke in fact and I genuinely feel so sorry for you, not in a patronising way either.
I hope you get all your money and possessions back, if this is going to court sue the bollocks off them when you're found not guilty, cause this really stinks. Unfortunately alot of us on here have probably never met you so we don't know how you act, whether you are gobby, how you dress or even what you look like and for your sake I hope you're not a tooler.
On a lighter note, the fruit machine playing community will rejoice in the news that their machines are little fuller and emptyable, for a while at least (joke)! :P You will get people posting or thinking that you had it coming to you, but nobody should be treated like a criminal for a £50 top, imagine it was a £105 top you wouldn't have got bail and you'd be looking at a 20 stretch.
Let us all know the outcome of this situation.

Thats truely awful and simply wrong.
But as a few have already said the charges wont stick, so, try not to worry too much about them.
I've heard of toolers who's been lifted with 1000's and with previous convictions, caught with bars who will get a slap on the wrist and a small fine.
They get off with it due to a technicallity, in that the police need figures in regards to exactly how much they stole. No figures, no real charge. They also need a good laywer too mind!!!
In your case if the bar hasn't produced figures then they've got nothing, appart from that £50 top I assume, and even then you weren't tooling, so, they have even less.
Make EVERY effort you possibly can, phone every laywer, every "where theres blame there claim" etc untill you find someone or something you can use against them.
Hope it goes ok

Yup it's a bad call on the part of the landlord who called the cops, and I'm in agreement that if you weren't physically tampering with the machine, only winning the normal way - then it'll simply be a waste of taxpayers money investigating it.
You have created a rod for your own back though by discussing that X Marks The Spot sparking method on here so recently - that most certainly is a crime.
I personally can't believe you allowed yourself to become so well known to pub landlords though; they wouldn't have it in for you to that extent if there wasn't a good reason. I'd find it difficult to become such a marked man round here.
If the police ask you which nickname you use on here, tell them it's Potwasher

This machine may at times offer a choice where the player has every chance of bankruptcy
I wouldn't worry too much, the police don't have any evidence against you, unless they caught you in the act of keying the machine the key isn't evidence, even then they would have to prove that you used it to defraud the machine and anybody in the business will them otherwise, quite frightening that they seized some of your stuff but you will get it back, as for the personal stuff possibly time to hang up the boots.
I'll give you an example, when iwas a teenager i was a graffiti artist, i was charged with criminal damage to the cost of nearly 20 grand, had paint, pictures, videos and a lot of other stuff seized as evidence.
Got let off with a warning, not even first offence and got all my stuff back, including the spray paint and markers.
