Is the £70 jackpot too low?

[e4ans]

In 20 mins I was up £247

£200 loaded via card Corals Black win £100 = £100 (Red) black loss ( down £100)

Re bet £100 black = Black win £200 ( Even)

2nd 3rd Dozen £50 each (Red 32) = £150 - £50 up

£40 in Riches gave me 3 pots, £200 silver. After play gave me £37 3 leps n that.

With such high stakes betting being allowed next door to pubs, maybe bring it into to pubs? You have to be 18 to enter all so why not make it universal?

To be honest its affecting pubs as I would rather stake loads to win loads, £70 is nothing these days anymore

[jeffvickers]

just out of interest, are cat c's still classed as "amusement with prizes"?

[JG]

Evans you loaded up £200 and proceeded to bet £100 a spin.
May I ask what you would have done had you busted? It is a likely outcome on even money bets after all.
I've done 25k a spin on line, never again.

Or maybe just ban this ridiculous gambling which ruins many people's lives from bookies and keep pubs as they are?!

[Matt Vinyl]

The Sir speaks sense!!!

[Dunhamzzz]

Agreed, there's a big difference in pub punting and bookies gambling.

You put the money in bit by bit in a pub, at £1 max a go it can still be classed as casual but with bookies you can easily do £20 spins and lose 10 in a row, I know I have at least twice.

I've seen my non-punting/gambling mates lose £30 on a fruit and think it was the end of the world, yet those sort of amounts and a lot more get lost al lthe time in a bookies which is for people who know their gambling

The roulette terminals should be hooked up to a live roulette table somewhere, like they do on TV, and not a so called "random number generator

[harry2]

If the 24 hour casino rule was re-introduced and roulette was not allowed in bookmakers, the arcades would be full.

[Spyder]

if you limited the roulette on a terminal to like, 1p and 2p on a spot, and 10p on a field with like a 50p table maximum... then yes.... true random roulette on a pub terminal, even with a live version etc.... it would be a bit of fun, even then, it would have to take coins, and print a slip, as an iou would probably crash the network somehow.

but £100 a spin?

yeah lol,on a good day:
100 on red, red,
100 on red, red,
100 on black, black,
50 on 3rd section, 32...

£450 up in 4 spins, you've made more than the pub takes in a day... where the fuck are they gunna get the cash to pay you?

please dont be a retard and say they'd open the machine to get the money to cash you out...

[keno]

I don't know whats worse, doing £100 on a colour or loading it up straight off your bank card

[thecannonball89]

lol best post of the year so far..

[autonudge]

who can afford £100 a spin?

[ben twilly]

in casinos with the video roulette its linked live to the tables, in the casino. so no rigged number gens.

[Mattb]

Yep, done a big £350 halves spin in Scarborough casino earlier in the year as i was steaming drunk, and had never been in one before (as there aren't any round this way). We hit 26 with about £24 on it, got over £800 quid back. Nice big buzz, but i won't be paying anyone anything if you can guess where £600 of that disappeared to soon after.....it was just like seeing a bookies FOBT! By far the easiest thing to get hooked on quickly.
