Do you have any funny moments or fantastic stories to tell in those good old days.

I remember seeing a red alert (jpm)
Fruit in a kebab shop one night as it was late i decided to go the following morning, only to find the fruit machine on the pavement smashed to pieces. :P

Nice one Cannonball about the 10 for 10 :-)

A funny one for me was playing in this rather run-down fairground arcade. Quite recently, about 6 weeks ago. Anyway, it was full of machines with £25 decals, and what they did was change all of the jackpots to £5. Instead of changing the decals though, they shoehorned tacky little stickers over each prize amount with the £5 equivalent. It was like seeing a fruit machine partially covered with post-it notes, then repeat it for each and every machine in the arcade lol. The same arcade also had a Bellfruit Monopoly whose reels were out of sync.
