Fruit Machine Chat

Anyone come across this, went to a pub early on, new barman serves me drink and watches tv, after i put first quid in bandit, he dives out of seat and lurks behind my shoulder watching every move (by the way normally decent machine is completely dead for first time ever, wonder what the connection is between new staff/dead machine?????).

Ended up losing over 15 pounds through forcing dead machine for profit.

Out of interest went back in for drink 8 hours later to see if new staff in (i.e non bandit players) and he was still at it, tried a quid and he flew up from chair and perched behind the machine.

Anyone else have any similar horror stories to share, nothing worse imo than a perfectly good machine getting killed off by bar staff before and during opening hours?

i've got a wobbler [my last one] near me that you hardly ever get too play, if the women barstaff is'nt on it when i walk in then there is a credit in it while she is serving behind the bar, then she plays a few quid then serves some more. i don't bother with it now. i have played twice in about 10 visits and it did roll once, and she does collect something most boards and is'nt a pusher. its if i can be arsed too wait an hour+. bet she loses more than she gets paid for her shift


what m/c was yours alcozar??

I'd just like to query why this post has over 1000 views and one(two now) reply.

I'm surprised at the number of topic views (2000+), guess a lot of people have got screwed over by bandit playing landlords/ladys/and general staff.

Feel free to share any horror stories as I bet there are some great ones.

I have seen the odd person play them after work just before closing.

Very common for the staff to do this in my local, but luckily as I know them they fore warn me if they have been on them (not to say they dont win my money out after I leave though)

that can't be right

3500 now lol

someone has held f5 down on ther keyboard for a minute or so i woulda thought

There'll be some bot problems or something i should imagine. Mike will tell all i'm sure

Machineguard have caught wind of the thread, and to keep owners profits in line, they are all checking this thread to see if anyting interesting comes up....

Either that, or i'm talking wank.

I'm a barman, and will watch people in corner or my eye, did have a holy moley in my place, saw someone die at 25 and walk, so turned it off for last hour and had my way in the morning! Evil but profits profit!

that's disgusting

max

why is it disgusting? he walked off and left it, i'd rather win in that some random drunk

im sure if you were a barman and had the chance to do it max you would. i know i would, its free money, makes the shift worthwile
