How much did you pay for it out of interest ?

Used to love these machines. Never really realised how good and easy they were, till i bumped into one the other day (in a dodgey pub) and dropped it first board with a few quid.

Yeah they can be ok, the onlt problem is the streak potential isn't amazing compared to what you get nowadays. A lot of times you'll do £30 odd in it from ready for a £25-£40 top which goes a bit dead after. Of course they can roll for 2-5 pots at times with knowledge and prising, which is what made them so superb.

The only VIU's I know of are in arcades.

I do have a Hot Stuff in an arcade 10 mins walk away from my house which is always there for the taking on a certain day at a certain time. :D 8)
