Makes you wonder why they didn't put perspex instead of glass in more machines... Bell Fruit did for a while in the Smiley 2 cabs but otherwise it has never been that widely used. I assumed it was because plastic scratched too easily, but I have an oldish Crazy Fruits plastic "glass" here with barely a mark on it...

That's true actually. My Uncle is bald and he always wins when the family play Newmarket at Christmas.

Yeah they did scratch easily. You could just rub the edge of a coin on it and it'd scratch. That said I once saw a JPm DYFL scratched to hell and back, presumably with a compass or something similar.

fortune may indeedy favour the bald.
i would also like to point out that you would need to be as brave as a coot to sit on a fobt with perspex screen, tallying off scratches with a coin for every losing spin

play Newmarket at Christmas.

Ah, now that is what Christmas afternoon is all about! Although I have spotted the dealer 'accidently' shifting queens from one of their hands to t'other...
