Some lads in my local boozer keep raping one of the bandits which is throw a wobbler, they are blatently obvious the go in and buy 3 cheap drinks then play the bandit get jackpot 3 times then go without even drinking there drinks!
its really starting to hack off all of the regulars who play the bandits fair, but we have been discussing what they are using and cant pin it down to anything.
does anyone off here have an idea what or how there using / playing the bandit.
thanks !

There's a h-u-g-e TAW thread somewhere nearby, take a read through that, it should point you in the right direction...

It could be that all your regulars aren't that good at playing bandits and simply end up filling the machine up so these guys win when they come in.
So how is it they win when your regulars lose? Possibly they use a gambling device used by most professional gamblers called "knowledge(tm)". This device allows you to always collect the best features, let's you know when to collect or gamble and allows you to walk away when the machine isn't going to pay any more.
I think you can find it on Ebay.

That would be good having a connection with the owner, Once they leave turn the machine off till the time their next due in

that bit about buying cheap drinks and not touching them pretty much sums serious players!

Heheh - the sure sign of a gambler - a half empty half of coke by a machine. Definitely one of my trademarks :P
Once you get to about 2/3 cokes you've had enough! The £1 outlay is usually worth it though.

If he plays fast he is probably just forcing it and sticking quite a fair bit in. I did it the other week and it cost me about £45 to get about £85 - 90 out of it.
Check how many coins he is chucking in next time
