Notch mate.

I can't recall the exact details of my best day. But being non-pro, I think it was between £350 and £400 after 17 or so pubs, with an alcoholic beverage in each!

T'was when three core machine types were 'new-ish' - Dig Its, Coins and Grids.

Very pleasant indeed.

and a piece of my sole

I always find a good old fashioned fish n' chips aids me whilst playing. Watch out for greasy buttons though.

£2000 clean profit, give or take a few quid. Rio Grande 500's. Most of it courtesy Swindon Gala, who suggested that we 'take our custom to Mecca in the future'.

Couple of years back, before the £70's when reds were quite common. Made £416 between 5.15pm and 9pm

Just 1 of those nights were every red was either ready or didn't play up much. 2 towns and about 8 pubs. 1 pub did have CCP, Invincible & Rovers in though

Like Matt Vinyl, I'm not pro either, so high wins are normally a fluke. I put £4 into a club machine and it gave me nudges for blue 7777 reel win for £150. This was in late 2004. I can't remember what it was called but it had a vampire theme, and yet it wasn't anything like Vamp It Up or Oh Ah Dracula. I have also seen the AWP version of it, but again, I can't remember what it was called. All I remember is that you could gamble the mystery square like you do on Vamp It Up.

Nice work if you can get (to) it Lee.

My best is a measly £230 or so. But take into account this was back in the day of the £25jps, made in the space of an afternoon its not too bad, i guess.

The Vortex era was good for regular £150-200 days too. Not bad for a casual player who played for fun.

Now why did I give it up in Dec '08.....lol.

im still happy and humbled to make average 50-70 a day - ,,,,,,,,, as long as i can make 300 a week minimum ,,,,,,,, i wont do anything else,,,,,,,,,,,, infact i consider anything over 150 a day as a fantastic day.

nice to have the occasional mega day though

LOL if they actually said that :P

Oh and btw mine is way over 2000, but was on 1000 slams in fairness, although I was never emptying them or nothing so profitable...

My best is a measly 120, though 99% of the time I was playing £5s and they all just seemed to be going nicely

Still, bought a couple of nice things with the winnings

it's been eons since i played for a living now, but back in the years of our lord between 1990-98 i regularly did over a oner and quite often 150 and a few 200+ when on the hundred jackpots. best day during this period was 337 off a 3 quid start.very few losing days ,but was prone to a hefty tilt if i did.

between 1998-2009 i was strictly part time but still managing to dwarf my wages regularly with a couple of hours here and there plus days off, netting three figure sums regularly.

when my first child was born in 2006 my playing was reduced to an hour here and there before work and the occaisional afternoon which still yielded nice returns dependant on who was about.

my best ever was in 2006 or 2007

just into 4 figures ,inside of 2 hours....but that was on randoms so i'm not sure it counts.

anyway.......i've not had a pot on an awp since cops 'n' robbers just over a year ago now!!!

I had a 530 day on sunday which was pretty sweet, 160 of that was off one Alien!

Best day was £1200 halfs with crozzie about 6 months ago. Couldn't believe it, everything turned to gold, including £330 up on 3 Aliens that day. Totally insane, i don't think i'll ever get that again.
