If you was born in the 70's you may have a cool million, but you would also be 20 years older, i will give away 1 million just to be 20 years younger. :P

I often think how much money i would have if I could have started at the age of 18 and knew every trick before the relevant machine came out. Fortunes. You'd probably be barred from every pub in the uk though lol :-)

Don't be fooled, there were alot of professionals who were born in the 70's, done every fruit machine trick in uk history & yet they still have no float for the next day.

I'd say most of the top players were born in the 70's and some even in the 60s. These guys won't have any problems with floats.

If i was born in the 50's i would have opened arcades in the 70's!
I used to run my own amusement arcade in 1998 for 3 years...!

There are much better things that I would have made a profit on other than gambling. For an example :-

Britain leaving the ERM - short the pound and make a fortune. George Soros famously made £1 Billion doing just that.
