Mine was 68. GOt all mine back about a week later. This was on a JP gems. I think there has been some sort of manufacture error in reds hopper???
It seems that they tend to get jammed and IOU quite frequently nowadays.

£432 on a £500. on a red; in the 40s somewhere. Surely that 98 is just a hopper jam.

Yep, mine's been around the £65 mark - but I got it all back...
Reds' seem to have a few problems with jamming and payout issues...

With a hopper jam just turn the machine off and back on and it will usually sort the problem, if it doesnt then its just a real I.O.U

Agreed, if it's something more sinister such as a strim alarm / erroneous top up - then you'll be handed the dreaded 'leave your name and phone number mate' phrase!

about 11 quid when I won around 40 on a machine in a pool club. I don't like admitting it, but I was playing them under age (although I was only about a month off 18!), so there was no way I was going to draw attention to myself by going claiming an IOU. I was still in profit by about £25 so I scarpered!

Yes i keyed it and turned the key back and it started spitting them out. I would love to find an IOU like that and key it and it start to spit. I got all of it and left it as i had done a £25 followed by a £75 with a couple of small afters.

My worst was £73 on the old 5-player sit-down Reno Casino downstairs in the Crystal Rooms, Leicester Square. They refilled it straight away, to my relief.
On a 'normal' AWP, I think it was a Throw a Wobbler - £60-odd in a Spoons, which is undoubtedly the best place to be when a m/c jams or IOUs - they seem to get it sorted and phone you almost without fail.
Like someone else said above - S16s IOU all the time... I was at Gatwick Airport playing Fruits -u- Sir when a S16 behind me IOU'd someone to the tune of £320-odd.

Not an IOU in the popular sense of the word but playing a bling and queen and got £16 in the bank, then bump, lights, sockets, everything goes off. [not the first time i've had a power cut but this one was genuine]
was a regular hit and was quite friendly with the staff so i knew i would get paid, left it a couple of hours went back and got my money and continued too play, got JP of nudge trick that repeated. niiiice
been lucky over the years not really had any IOU's, really liking reds at the minute so now doubt there will be a few too come

Haha nixxy where abouts in the south do you live? That fruitsusir up Gatwick is still there, and its still a big rinse as it always has been. No profit to be made in Gatwick Aiport.
Crystal rooms is another bad place to be gambling its completely shark invested waters. Have had a couple of alright wins off the multiplayer elvis in there though.
