pub The BERESFORD middleton on sea west sussex. Publican banned me after playing his machine.Stated the classic I was ruining it for his regulars.Its strange that such altruistic souls feel it is neccessary to protect their flock from the swp player.Presumably he spends his holidays out on the streets tending to the needy and raising money for various good causes.With a busy bar I stated that strangely the only one bleating about me winning anything was himself and suggested that his animosity was partly due to his inability to win anything himself. He looks like Eric 'monster' Halls ugly brother.
Will take pleasure in updating various pub websites deriving a modicum of pleasure in retelling my banning and discouraging readers from going anywhere near this(in my opinion) unscrupulous man's hostelry.

its strange that when I get banned from a pub Im always asked what game I was playing

. It wasnt from the result of playing any one game it was after playing a few games and taking the cumalative winnings out that the banning occurred. I never really discuss my individual preferences with regards to games , however the unit concerned was a paragon (games warehouse). Gary pleased to know I'm not the only one barred! Perhaps you could let the fruit machine players know (non-dodgy ones) from pompey and they could make my day by emptying his fruities!

I am contractually obliged at this point to say, "You got barred from playing a Paragon?!"

the last pub banning i had was bittersweet: personable barstaff but an oaf of a publican. for some reason the landlord got the hump and dragged his knuckles over to the SWP and barked at me to "stop embarrassing yourself and just leave". by this time i'd won from the games i'm good at but had 50p credit left. he very kindly let me play it out while pointedly overseeing whatever cheating methods i was using.
i seldom play WWTBAM but while he was watching, i cracked on through to £5 before bottling out on a tricky Q. he was seething. would have been nice to rub his boorish nose in a JP but a fiver seemed to do the trick. i walked by the pub yesterday and he has replaced the SWP with that golf game.

Would have been funnier on an easy question to pretend you didn't know and ask him, so he was actually helping you win (or see if he would deliberately say the wrong answer to make you lose).

did get banned from a pub in Bristol from playing a quiz machine 'in the wrong way'.I deliberately got questions wrong to get the millionaire level down. I said to the publican you in affect have nicked my money, I am nicking your glass which I duly made off with at high speed.
