JDW

Post by kidgloves »

Is anybody else finding that all Wetherspoons have shite for machines these days, to the point that they may even have a shortlist of machines to site - the usual dross based on performance and daily float levels not being wide of the mark.
Even a chipped Monopoly only lasted a couple of weeks near me. Can't remember the last time I saw a Red around here in a JDW's.
So obviously without divulging locations, can anybody say they do have decent stuff in a Wetherspoons to play ?? I'm hoping it's just around my area it's total crap.

I seem to remember hearing that 'spoons won't take Reds in because of notechanger fraud that was doing the rounds... ;)

The thing is as players we don't play nearly as many machines anymore. We are only going into pubs looking for a few select machines and sadly the few that are around are being washed out by the Deal/deal reglass dross that is around at the moment. I have 3 spoons with hi lo's (out of 10 in my city). What else are we to expect? A few years back I would be playing a much wider range of machines, sadly at the moment our method portfolio has somewhat reduced. Lets just hope things pick up, maybe after 9th june...

Just the one for me, an HLS, its a good 50 miles from me and i was originally going there for the quizzers of which there was 2 in the same spoons, very hit and miss as to whether there was much in them though, although they were fullish the first week i found them so at least i had one good hit.

Wetherspoons have a contract with Gamestec.

Are you owned by Danopatra then?
Because garbage seems to be heavily associated with you...
