I'm not referring to either the phrase that pays, or pub landlords. I'm referring to cash stacka, and claiming against the OPERATORS. If I banked a quiz machine for a couple of hundred, then approached a burly landlord expecting a payout, I would expect to either be told to fuck off, or end up leaving the pub through the window.

The operator is bereft of both lower torsal appendages, and is therefore unable to sustain verticality in this situation, because it is a game of skill, and has slipped the net....

send a photocopy of the "evidence" to their head office...

also, if you get an iou thats the same as ONE jackpot, it IS wetherspoons company policy to pay the iou on the spot UP TO THE value of ONE jackpot... but you have to be polite, get a manager, and probably ring their head office... the number will be on the back of a till roll recipt.. or they have to give it to you...

you have to be very polite.... but they will pay.

or google the pubs address and get the postcode, and ring the game operator, they come out to spoons quite fast.. pretend to be the manager and they might come within an hour...

The proof will be in there in test mode, in the error log it shows 'last iou'.

I was pleasantly surprised when a DW IOU'd me for £68 the other week and the engineer turned up before I'd even finished my pint! GAve me the £53 that was in bank and a 'chitty' to give to the barstaff to claim the additional fiver that should have come out when I pressed collect, but um, didn't.

He explained to me that although he was having a quiet morning that day and was 'in the vicinity', they are having huge problems with 'Inclement Weather' 'spoons, as they are now only refilling their machines on a rare basis, as opposed to daily. This is leading to lots of IOUs coming out of the woodwork.

Stacka's are getting removed. Not in main because of them being done but because of a legal issue. Make the most em boys.
Casino royales are fixed now also.

I tried one the other day and hit it bang on for Green and it slipped by.

apologies if i'm speaking out of turn but the phrase that pays was pretty easy without killing free games. speed of recognition is something i guess we are all good at, otherwise we'd focus on another realm of industry. imo it is a pity that this one is going the way of all things. but equally, if you see a tenner in the street, you are going to bend down to collect it.

I have a £55 IOU to colect from glasgow.

I have prolems, firstly the day after my claim for the IOU the engineer came out, i happened to be on the premises when the said engineer came. He went on his mobile to who i suspect was his manager, he then said that as the machine didnt have enough in the cashbox he could therefore not pay the IOU on the spot. I would need to call back 5 hours later (at 18.30) which i did, suposedly i even put off a train which would have put me on my way back home. The IOU was clearly witnessed and acknowledged by the engineer who said the reason its empty is because theres a known scam on this machine (why the fuck dont you chip it then along with the other 10 in the town which were still good?!?!) ohh dear a scam, not my problem there is a 'scam' im on holiday. I have since left a message with the oh so idiotic clyde coin based in sunny glesga with my number requesting they phone me asap and so far in almost a week thay ont even have the decency to return my call. If they cant even be bothered to plate a 10 year old spooner and actually charge people for its hire then bleh...... they really dont know what their at.

I will not let it go though.

I suppose it depends how badly you need the £55.

Personally I wouldn't have banked it, for many reasons, the most important of which being that if you are ever likely to frequent the same area again you are probably going to be scrutinized whether what you are doing is fair or not. A friend of mine started banking a couple of Stackas he had in a town, and now he is 'not welcome' in ANY of the pubs, as word got round......

As for expecting Clyde Coin to ring you I wouldn't hold your breath. I certainly can't see them rushing to pay you out, and if you persue it you run the risk of creating the sort of trouble for yourself that my friend had, and with such old games in the area its a good bet that something really juicy will turn up, and you may miss out.
