answer me two questions,

1) 35 years of playing? what was the jackpot 15 years ago? let alone 35 years ago, we aint talking about making a million in the future, we're talking being a millionaire from it already...

2) how the fuck did they bank the money..

and one more thing, 3k a week, yeah maybe do-able.. but thats a jackpot worth of profit every 45 minutes (based on a ten hour session, 7 days a week, not taking any traveling whatsoever into consideration, no driving or walking or piss breaks or queuing at the busyest bars with no staff, or stopping for a greggs pasty, or waiting for your bodyguard to case out the next pub incase the blue-rinsers from nobles are waiting to attack you)


it'd be a lot easyer if you'd not just timed your best ever session by 5 and started daydreaming about earning more than the prime-minister does...

Ignorance is bliss. Not sure where the 35 years came from though. Keep doing them calculations kidda. Stick to your electros and dig-its and oh what a wonderful world.

Just another point on 'how did they bank the money'

Thats a modern day phenomon. Much exagerated and previously virtually non-existant so there is no problem, believe it.

Money laundering act only came in about eight years ago. Maybe a million from just playing machines is not achievable, but investing winnings over time might, considering the high rates of inflation in the 80s. Jackpot 35 years ago was 50p.

Still not sure where that 35 years came from. Those who have been making good money last 10 years learned what to do a long time ago. Saying that the money laundering thing is much exagerated, It's hard enougth to take money off career criminals nevermind a bloody gambler.

I reckon there are quite a few..very rich people, who made their money by fruits..millionaires?? Don't know any..but i reckon there's a few masters out there..who have perfected it from early days...

thing is youth, theres people on here that are of the calibre you are blagging about..

im not ignorant, from what ive seen and heard i fully understand whats possible,

the last 10 years? i think at a push, i can probably name more or less every empty/method from the last ten years,

unless the person you say is a millionaire solely from fruits 'worked' 7 days a week in a totally untouched very large area, with every top trick from every make of machine, with the info earlyer than everyone else... its not possible.

mathematicly it is possible, if he has made £350 a day every day for ten years, if he wants two days off a week then he needs to be making 500 s day for 5 days a week, how much is rent/mortgage/bills/car/fuel/living expenses... add about £2500 a month for this,

£600 a day PROFIT including expenses maintained on average over ten years
to become a millionaire soley from fruit machines.


£600 a day in 2000, just the ticket, used to cost circa £40- £60 to get going, so you could reasonably expect to win about £60 per unit.. meaning you needed 10 a day... 50 a week...this trick worked for about 6 weeks, and each unit took a good 2-3 weeks to recover.. so you would need about 150 locatons to maintain our £600 target, plus they could take way over an hour each, not including traveling, thats probably a 15 hour day, so a full pub route plus a service station run after..


modern day, you only need a good emptyer and a good idea where a few machines are, but theres more players, you could make £600 a day before most people were up for breakfast, but you'd still need to fully empty at least 3 machines a day, 5 days a week, so thats 15 emptyable machines, that no one else is hitting, in locations that have no heat. with no hiccups allong the way

its an easyer target to hit these days, but even when some of the easyest empties over the years wouldnt make you £600 a day, unless you covered literally a quarter of the country..

im bored now.

Fantastic post,

Makes my stomach turn, people paying taxes for you to claim doll and hang around pubs all day - no wonder you're all fat ice cream lovers * no names mentioned *

3 levels of players, pro, fun and spyder +hrk. I can assure you spyder as a part time player you do not know half the emptys of the last 10 years and you would not work if you did! Hrk you are sounding a bitter man! Whats up? Has your last pie factory gone?

LOL! Glendale you are too funny!

I have to agree with you tho, I only play a couple of days a week these days, but I know my fair share of stuff and skills are pretty good, and I still make average of 200-300 a day even now (without emptys). :)

So if you were top of the food chain and always have either really early info or at least 1 empty under your hat, you could easy be making 2 or 3 times that.

In short, if you can make 600-900 a day why wouldn't you pay a driver 250, if it is the only way to get to locations? :roll:

Let alone the supposed body guard benifts, lol! :wink:
