Don't players who are world class at particular games get sponsored by manufacturers?

billy mitchell got a perfect game on pacman, don't think it made him rich but that is an exceptional achievement if you are into that sort of thing.

I didn't know there was a Pac Man in Kathy's. They used to have a Skill Cash though.

Yes, and I've a funny feeling it used to make most un-Skill Cashly noises, too.

Just like the Pony Express fruit machine in Hollyoaks, which make distinctly 1980's-esque noises when anyone plays it.

Or the Rovers Return machine which usually has a couple of credits in it so it doesnt go into attract mode and distract viewers away from the 'drama' going on next to it. :D
