What industry? The industry of making money out of fruit machines?
Because if you mean the fruit machine industry as a whole, then you're three chilli's short of a curry... The industry is on its arse BECAUSE (in part) to people frauding the machines, and also because there is no fun in playing machines any more because those with knowledge kill all the machines for joe bloggs punters. Hence, joe stops playing.

I appreciate that you are not intimating that you or anyone else are making money out of them illegally. I think you'll find that it becomes a lot, lot harder to use "knowledge" to get anything out of machines. The higher the jackpots, the more the manufacturers make sure there ARE no holes in the code... When its only £10 you're likely to lose at most, its easy to just accept there are bugs and let people find them. When its £70 you could be losing, its not going to happen. Manu's will belts and braces all the games. Those that don't risk losing a lot!

Yeah maybe I am 3 chillis short of a curry. I'll tell you now though, I'm not the only one. In fact there's people who are at least 13 chillis short of a curry and they are in more higher up postions in the pecking order than I will ever be in! Maybe you are one of these people?

Its not just the Fruit Machine Industry thats farcical, thats only a very small part of it. There's a whole lot more, too many topics to discuss that don't really relate to this message board.

i could be dead wrong about this lol
some machines are very difficult to play, however there are some machines in certain casinos that do runs of around £300=£1000 paying at 98%

but u are right most of the stuff in vegas is crap. neverltheless, due to the high payout %, the profile are a lot better than what we have here.

Connect 4 was a good example without mentioning current stuff. I had a good amount for a month or two, then the idiots somehow found out and they started getting banked and rapidly disappeared. If it wasn't for these people, they could have lasted for another month or two.

I got a working quiz machine at the moment which has lasted months. Not telling anybody has reaped the rewards. Only taking out £50 a week if that, but that makes sure it stays. If some of these stupid rats got their hands on it, then it wouldn't last a week.

Also people around here don't let machines breathe for a day or two. They have to constantly get the little value out of Reds etc. day in day out. Leave them alone for two or three days then they will play so much better. Some people just don't seem to understand, they're in the same pub every day, they just don't learn.

Then you get some of them younger kids (who get lifts from different people everytime) going around the smaller towns doing the Cluedos and clones that wedge. So annoying, but at least the Monopolies and Chipped Cluedos are out of their league.

Surely something's got to change for the better. It was so much better back in the day when you could confidently go into a pub or service station and find the JPMs showing numbers. Its not like it used to be.
