F***ing Annoying
hiya guys i work for a comp that deals with friuty repairs and the landlord does not have to repay you anything as he just rents the machine. it is down to the operator/supplier to first check if theres a fault and check what the last win or banked win show. you would be suprised how often i hear it owes me a tenner but the wins only show 3 quid.........
if theres no sign of a fault we would look for tampering ,if so you dont get paid .if there is a fault we would authorise you get your cash paid there and then

freaky cat i have a question
was playing a prize fighter in our SU and was buzzed to hell
THEN got a bonus reel reel sync error..
told the union staff id put £60 through it and they said that was highly unlikely and they would call an engineer.
heard nothing so went in and they said they would get a uni rep to call me
NOTHING
my mates played a broken itbox and claimed..
they saw my name on the claim form and this bitch at the union said there was nothing wrong and the engineer confirmed this
surely if the alarm was going off it musta been broken?
have i been fucked here?

I had this on a Revolution tonight. £1 in, super mode, jackpot off the reel roulette feautre, £1, 4 steps, only £3 (gave a 5bonus and extra symbol),
£1 in, 4 steps again. Went lower than a 10, got a 2 and lost. Next spin 'Hey, check it out, hey, check it out' disc reel fucked.
It was playing so well, pretty sure i'd have made another £40+ easy

this is specific to wetherspoons but if you read it between the lines you can apply it to any chain pub
ok... i dont want anyone to mention this: and or connect this post with this site me or my name...
if you are in a wetherspoons and you get shit from the machine.... ask to talk to the "unit manager" (in-company name for pub manager)
if they are unavailable.. ask for the shift manager.. if you are told they arent available, the person you are talking to is lieing, a shift manager HAS to be presant at all times on the off chance, ask for a kitchen manager, if in doubt of a managers presence, look above the door or on the licence within the pub (they do show one and you have the right to see it)
once you get a manager, calmly ask for your money back, see what they have to say..
you may get a fake manager (also known as a shift leader or team leader) these will sometimes do the job but you will need to take their name
you need to ask the person (calmly) if they have passed their "cash control" course.. if they have then they know they are obliged by company policy to pay a machine iou to up to ONE jackpot value (£25)
you may get some shit for asking and a lot of places will refuse.... get the managers name, the pub name/address, and ask some random staff on the way out for the pub "number".... this is not a phone number but a reference for the pub in wetherspoons head office..
ask a low member of staff (plain white shirt on a guy or white top on a kitchen staff) to witness the back on the iou, ask them to write down on some till-recipt the exact writng on the lcd of the machine and sign it.. take a phone-camera photo of the amount... take a picture with the person who signs the recipt in view!!! (but dont make it obvious)
the lower tthe staff the more chance you have of getting what you want, they have less attitude and normally dont give a fuck about what goes on
get them to turn on and off the machine, this sorts loads of faults out... turn it off for a full 2 minutes,, if this doesnt work, turn off the machine, give it a shake then leave it for a minute or two, then turn it back on,
if they have to wait for an operator, ring dorectory enquirerys and get the pubs postcode... ring the operators number on the side of the machine, ring them pretending to be the pub, they will usually come out pretty soon
all you need is the pub address machine name and fault.. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR NAME
make some hting up if in doubt
im really drunk, ill answer anyhting i missed tomorrow or something
im falling asleep
see ya

nearly right...
and no hes not an aussie, he is british and grew up in devon
he had a school teacher call "mr wetherspoon" who said he would amount to nothing...
his favorite tv show is the dukes of hazzard, and he called it " J D " from the charictor
his name is tim martin, he doesnt actually own wetherpoons since it was floated onto the stock market, he is now joint managing director or something like that,
he is very tall!
his hands are massive.... i met him, he shook my hand and his hands were about twice the size of mine...
his favorite beer is abbot ale

i would argue that, I've spoken to my local about this and he says as the m/c opperator only rents the machine out any cash within the machine is the responsibility of the pub manager who should pay out the money. they then are able to claim the money back from the opperator if it was a fault with the machine. Obviously if they can get away with it they'll blame someone else if it means keeping the cash.freakycat wrote:hiya guys i work for a comp that deals with friuty repairs and the landlord does not have to repay you anything as he just rents the machine. it is down to the operator/supplier to first check if theres a fault and check what the last win or banked win show. you would be suprised how often i hear it owes me a tenner but the wins only show 3 quid.........
