Best win?

Just curious as to what other players best wins are.
My best win was one day i walked into my local arcade put a tenner in Spin n Win (£500 jp) and a tenner in Hi-Roller (£500 jp).
Put them both on auto and stood back, HR dropped in 5 of a kind and gambled itself to £500 from first press! looked over at SNW i was up on a streak which went for £150, then took another £250 and and another £100 from HR roller within the same tenner! Put another £20 in SNW and took it for another £350!
I walked out an hour later with £1400 from my original £20!
It would have been a lot better if i hadn't gone through just under a grand the week before but even so it was the best day ever!

Bloody hell mate, you got me beat hands down!
Although i do think you're exaggerating slightly as you forgot to count the 2p it cost you for each repeat so i think your profit would have been more like £6,358.76 even so that's not bad for around 12 days work!

LOL!
My best single win - £110 from the top of a Legal Tender.
Previous to that, a £100 off of the top of a Maygay Bankraid was my all-time best...
Ooh, forgot to mention - also took a few grand out of the Compton 2p-pushers at Herne Bay...

My best is 110 from a rocket money, from 20 pound in.
Second best was a ton from a Cobra, cost me about 35/40 though.
Reds - One day your best friend, then next your worst enemy.

Nice one mate, hey you can't beat the 2p pushers! That's where the sharks play round here, they play with £1 in 2p's all day and watch peeps filling the 'proper' machines then jump in as soon as they go for change :x
I tried it one day and ended up getting hooked trying to win a plastic keyring and lost £18

That is the best machine ever!!
It was the first machine i ever touched 3 figures on when i had a red TOT go 4 times!
Oh and crystal maze is a classic i still play it on emu, used to always batter it in my local and walk out with a pocket full of tokens!!

£100 on Random Monopoly s16,followed by £500 within £20 after that.Put a few coins in Rainbow Riches and 4 Irish Gentlemen dropped in going all the way to the top,then over £100 out of a Slotto straight after.Walked out with £1300 altogether.
Last two visits to Arcade have had £500 out of slotto and £500 on megaslot game both within £10 going in.

Good score mate, that sounds similar to what i did, it's great when it happens but since it's just made me play for wins like that everytime, i went back in the following week and put £400 in to drop £600 and i was a bit gutted until i actually thought about it
£200!! That's a bloody weeks wage in an couple of hours!

Yes,had £40 burning a hole in my pocket tues,First £20 went in a Slotto no joy,then final £20 in a Cashino for 30 out. 6 went in one Megaslot,but it didnt feel right,so 10 went in the one next door to give 500 on the feature.I was on my lunch break,
in the arcade 5 mins,then a futhur 10 min wait while the notes were sorted out.Made more than working for 2 weeks.
Of course if you dont have the sense to walk away you can easily put a months wages or worse in these in one session.
So I tend to have quick hits on them now.You can get over losing 40 or so,once it gets into treble figures youre a mug

Like Mr. Vinyl above, the £110 streak on a Legal Tender is my biggest, followed by the £100 streak on a Most Daunting (see thread from months ago in the Miscellaneous forum) and the excellent, genuinely exciting £100 top on Bank Raid.
Other than that, I was very pleased when - aged 7 - I won the Easter Egg Hunt organised by my local paper where you had to count the number of eggs in 25 selected shops windows around town. I won £30 (was a pretty big win for 1984!) and bought a great big Castle Greyskull from Argos to keep all my He-Man figures inside.
Oh how times have changed.
