+ 6%

It is amazing the difference the +6% is making for me, especially on reds. 50p play and no extra percentage is just shite. How's everyone else finding the difference between +6% and not?

absolutely sick they can set them to not give you +6% for 50p imo; tbh I haven't noticed much of a difference though in ones that give it to ones that don't.

I see that leisure link are removing the 6% on alot of there machines.

So tihs was just a short term thing so they would get us to use the 50pence per play.

Games tech and Crown leisure havnt seemd to change it on there machines yet.

Anyway how can you be sure that there was an extra 6% anyway?

The machine lights up +6%.

Is this true? I'd previously assumed that the light had been broken.

yep, look at the LCD when you change stake - it says just 50p play, rather than 50p play + 6%

I've had too many machines not light up for it to be a broken light bulb. If it doesn't light up then I treat it as no +6%

agree @ sickness.

Agreed 100%

I'm lobbying my MP to address this appalling situation. I've also set up a petition at http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/ivegotastran ... priorities.

Never mind eradicating hunger, war, disease and poverty from this planet - we should first address the crazy situation whereby an operator can opt NOT to offer an optional additional 6% for playing 50p a shot. These people are no better than dictators and child abusers. Sick doesn't even begin to describe it.
