Depends if you kill them off properly. Straightforward empties are shit, the longterm money is in rips.

I can see the top brass at Barcrest culling a few staff members over this.

Emptys used to last until mobiles and the internet became massive! Now its just a race to see who gets there first!

Yep, they're off everywhere now, probably the shortest empty ever going. I wouldn't normally IOU stuff, but if i don't, then someone else will....so you might as well just do it yourself.

Quick update. Just overheard an engineer telling staff in a pub to keep them off till further notice. Looks like the fuckers at barcrest are working round the clock on a chip? Why didnt they put the anti emptier software in them to start off with

Yep it goes past the percentage alarm (unlike rainbows etc) as it doesn't register that it keeps paying £70 out. Easy as pie.

As a casual munter I wouldnt have known which machine you were on about apart from was having a quick dabble in a pub I sometimes drink in at lunchtime and a landlady came scurrying over and said oi you are not allowed to play that its broken...I wouldnt like you to lose your money it. The barmaid then came over and said no its ok the engineer has been and he says its fine for it to be switched back on which suggests to me that whatever patch is available had already been implemented.

if anyone wants to tell me what this is all about, I could go and find out for you. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Roll back the years to flashback and others when 6 months down the line you still found unchipped, even in spoons! (if under 20 ask your dad)
