I cant believe you and mattb go to dartford so much the place is usually crispy know of 4 different players that go there. To go all the way from cambridge for that place is madness

Cros: Dial did £10 off of WS (then £2 jump kicked in) but Dial did a £35, was up about £30 from it. VIU took £7 for that JP.

I agree though with ob: I tend not to bother too much with Dartford as I've seen (and heard on here!) of a lot of players. There's a good selection of machines, but they are, as mentioned, usually crispy duck. 'Can' get lucky though and find the HLS's playing well (the barman in the C********e seems to always have a vested interest in it!) The T******e seems to always have no-one in it, apart from someone on the HLS (t'was me yesterday!)

The other arcade paid dividends though, the Poker Face did a £105 off of £60. BTQ on one of 'The Players' did £70 from £20.

Spoons: Popeye JP off of Nearest Win (informed that COB would be this, and managed to set it up with nudges). Break The Bank was OKish for £20 up from two DOND boards. Everything else was being played or not worth bothering with!

Railway: Hoffman did a £35 and £20 from trapping the phones in. I tried one board on Oche Oche Oche and it's a shocky! I could swear that NW was JP, but it insisted it was only a fiver. I counted the nudges required about 10 times and was certain that JP was at least the same as the fiver?! Didn't bother with the other DONDs.

It appears that the arcade up the alleyway has closed down? Used to play 5-liner and Temple of Treasure in there at lunchtimes about 10 years ago. Ha-ha!

All that way? It's 65 miles mate - hardly the moon is it :P Loads of places to go on the way/around/on the way back, so it's never a wasted journey. Can any of these 4 'players' do a dial ob? Never dead!

That slow one in the quicksivler, bollox its never dead, that used to be the case maybe 2 months ago, but now its often on its arse ie. £5+ for boards on 10p. Infact the last few times I've been there it has been dead....

looks like uve got lucky there and thus overated the place; it really is a very done town.

i cant believe they still have that vamp lol.
it use to have a flash cash next to it and 3 or 4 5er machines.
all of those machines take old tokens aswell if you become a member you get free tokens on every visit just save then to get a free days play in there or buy them from ebay maybe ?

has the other arcade "shoppers amusement" still got the extreme that keys ?

I lived in Dartford last year for a bit and dont know how the machines ever got played as it was always dead everytime i went in one of the arcades.

One arcade had a Wobbler iirc and the other had some evil OXO's and Top Slot's.

Spoons was good tho had a Vortex,ROTJ,Invincible and Warped at one point. The Warped was always good profit.

Was top score on both Trickshot Pool's as well, the one in the pub opposite the spoons was always their for a double JP.

The Harvester's used to be good as well. One's either side of dartford.

I live in Rainham now so never venture down that neck of the woods anymore.

Heh, I played the Flash Cash about 2 years ago in there...

The pub opposite the 'Spoons has had a Raiders in it for about the last year or so - not averse to doing a £50 - although it's a 'no gamble' chip, so you pays your monies...

Warped in the Railway used to be fantastic for red tops £70/£105.
