Do any other countries apart from the UK have quiz machines that pay out? I'm not talking about those stupid ones with no payout slot.
When I've been abroad I've had to resort to playing on cashpoint keypads and tourist information points to get my fix.

I was in Spain years ago and came across a Trivial Pursuit standalone that was purely football questions. Brilliant, and looking back that probably kick-started my interest in quiz machines.

We found a quiz machine during a stag weekend in Vilnius, Lithuania, a few years ago.

I once held the Trivial Pursuit record at McMahon's in Nice, S. France. Some seven years ago. I bet that machine's gone now. Either that or some French peasants, misunderstanding its purpose, will have pissed on it and fcuked up the wiring.

I've played a Megatouch game in the services at Bellinzona Nord, Switzerland, before. Never seen a proper quiz machine abroad although will be very excited when I do.

While stuck waiting at Lyons airport for a flight home from a skiing trip a couple of years ago, my friend and I got top scores on several different games on a Megatouch and (for shame) entered childishly amusing rude names onto the Top 10 tables - the sort of things that the paying games here are clever enough to prevent.

Not so. Some machines can still be graffitied by the more puerile among us. Whenever I feel that I have been shafted by a game (e.g. in which of these cities was an ice rink opened in 1984? Nottingham, Telford or Derby?) instead of my usual moniker I sign my name as FUQU.
Phonetically, that's exactly how I feel.
